Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to Minnesota municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/ or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed its benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, which is the primary benchmark, and the Bloomberg Barclays Minnesota Municipal Bond Index, which is the secondary benchmark, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | We extended the Fund’s duration during the year but ended the year shorter than the benchmark, which was a detractor from performance as yields rallied over the second half of the period. |
∎ | | The Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds along with an out-of-benchmark position in non-investment-grade bonds were drivers of performance, as lower-rated investment-grade bonds outperformed higher-rated AAA-rated and AA-rated bonds. Additionally, the Fund’s overweights to local general obligation (GO) bonds and education bonds were positive contributors to performance. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20197 |

The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut on fading growth expectations.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the
European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019. The municipal market mutual fund bond flows in the first half of 2019 were in excess of $42 billion, a number not seen since 1992. With this strong technical backdrop for the municipal market and the Fed possibly cutting rates, all bonds rallied in the first half of 2019. Intermediate and longer bonds outperformed shorter maturities. With these factors at play, we see strong support for the municipal market over the short to intermediate term.
Minnesota’s municipal credit fundamentals are solid, based on our analysis.
Minnesota State credit ratings are AAA (stable), Aa1 (stable) and AAA (stable) by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC; Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; and Fitch Ratings Inc., respectively. Known as the state of 10,000 lakes, Minnesota is the21st-largest state in terms of population and 17th by gross domestic product (GDP) as of December 31, 2018. Credit fundamentals remain solid, based on our analysis, as Minnesota’s economy continues to perform well and the state is benefiting from ample operating surpluses. Debt and pension liabilities remain manageable, in our view, and the state’s reserves have increased significantly over the past several years. The state’s economy is broad and well diversified and is characterized by low unemployment and above-average income levels. The state’s population base is well educated, the labor participation rate is high, and the poverty rate is low. The state has a long history of conservative management practices and outperforming budgeted projections. Minnesota ended fiscal-year 2018 with a total general fund balance of $4.7 billion, compared with $3.4 billion at the end of the prior fiscal year. The state’s latest forecast, released in February 2019, points to a somewhat weakened economic outlook for the current biennium. Slower projected economic growth and lower collections have reduced the revenue forecast, though a slightly lower spending forecast offsets the overall reduction to the projected surplus. State legislators recently passed a balanced budget for the biennium starting July 1, 2019.
During the period, several factors drove Fund performance.
The Fund’s overweight to lower-rated investment-grade (A-rated and BBB-rated) bonds were the main drivers of performance. Yield-curve positioning along with overweights to credit sectors including local GOs, hospitals, and education benefited the Fund. The Fund’s short duration positioning along with sector and security selection detracted from performance.

Performance highlights (unaudited)
As the period began, the Fund was defensively positioned and was short duration to its primary benchmark as the Fed was expected to raise rates two more times in the second half of 2018 and expected to continue to raise rates in 2019. We started to extend duration in late 2018 as growth expectations slowed, but the Fund was still short duration relative to the benchmarks at the end of the year. This positioning detracted from performance as the Fed changed directions abruptly. Yield-curve positioning was supportive of positive performance as the Fund was modestly bulleted and overweight the intermediate part of the curve, which was the best-performing part of the curve on a risk-adjusted basis. The Fund was underweight shorter maturities, which underperformed, and longer-maturity bonds, which outperformed. When extending the Fund’s duration, we focused on buying longer, higher-quality bonds and taking credit exposure in short maturities as we felt credit spreads had contracted to a point that individuals are not being compensated for taking on additional credit risk.

|
Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
The Fund was overweight local GOs, education, and health care bonds, which outperformed over the period. Some of the better-performing bonds in the Fund were Roseville, MN, Independent School District Bonds; Hennepin County, MN, bonds; and Saint Cloud, MN, health care (CentraCare Health) bonds. While the Fund was underweight state GO bonds, an underperforming sector, the $6.1 million in state of Minnesota bonds that we held outperformed significantly. Being underweight revenue bonds was a detractor from performance as revenue bonds outperformed. There were no positions that were large detractors from performance. However, some securities failed to keep pace with the benchmark and underperformed due to subpar security selection.
Slowing growth supports credit fundamentals, but market technicals are driving performance and issue selection remains key in state-specific funds.
We believe U.S. economic growth is slowing but still continues at a modest pace. Minnesota’s economy performed well, which may lead to higher revenues for many municipalities and improved credit fundamentals. We view the Fed becoming more dovish and potentially cutting rates in the latter half of 2019 as supportive of GDP growth. Some municipalities may do well and others may continue to struggle, making credit selection very important. We expect to remain overweight lower-quality investment-grade bonds, though we believe investors currently are not being compensated sufficiently for making new investments in some of these areas. In our view, the long-term drivers of valuations will be supply and demand trends, absolute yield levels, the shape of the yield curve, and credit fundamentals. While we will continue our bias to overweighting lower-quality investment-grade bonds, it will be to a lesser degree, and we likely will add some higher-quality bonds as opportunities arise. We will monitor economic growth, the technical market, and fundamental credit quality to see if any changes are warranted in duration, yield-curve positioning, or credit-quality selections over the next year.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) 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.
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 and tax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
24 | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $157,632,249 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 6,088,985 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (395,563 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 5,693,422 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $32,886 in short-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | 25
Notes to financial statements
Fund’s operations. As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.400 | % |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.375 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.350 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.325 | |
| |
Next $5 billion | | | 0.290 | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.280 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee |
| |
Class A, Class C | | 0.16% |
| |
Administrator Class | | 0.10 |
| |
Institutional Class | | 0.08 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.85% for Class A shares, 1.60% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.52% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Funds Distributor received $1,565 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

Notes to financial statements
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 $8,600,000 and $12,825,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $27,897,219 and $26,691,036, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 4,184,838 | | | $ | 4,586,603 | |
| | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 0 | | | | 83,413 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| | |
$882,220 | | $5,693,422 | | $(32,886) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
| | Net investment income | | | Net realized gains | |
| | |
Class A | | | $ 855,881 | | | $ | 16,863 | |
| | |
Class C | | | 158,147 | | | | 4,226 | |
| | |
Administrator Class | | | 2,792,428 | | | | 48,922 | |
| | |
Institutional Class | | | 780,067 | | | | 13,482 | |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territory of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the
Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | 27
Notes to financial statements
Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by
34 | Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund
Other information (unaudited)
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 (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods under review, equal to the average investment performance of the Universe for the ten-year period under review, and in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for the three-year period under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability

Other information (unaudited)
reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Currentmonth-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximumfront-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares are sold without afront-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to California municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, andnon-diversification risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond: California Index for the12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | The Fund’s shorter-duration profile was a detractor as longer-duration bonds outperformed shorter maturities during this period of flattening. The Fund also saw several of its large, attractive Great Recession–era California State general obligation (GO) bonds refunded over the year that had book yields that could not be replaced in the current interest rate environment. |
∎ | | The primary drivers of performance were the Fund’s credit profile, security selection, and yield-curve positioning with an overweight to the best-performing long-term bond maturity segment. Strong demand for lower-rated credits benefited the Fund’s overweight toA-rated andBBB-rated bonds. Security selection was also a contributor as several hospitals and special tax bonds performed well relative to similar credits in the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond: California Index. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20197 |

Fading growth expectations put the Fed on hold.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019 and discussions changed from
when the Fed might hike to when they might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a generalrisk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform, which eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding higher-cost debt. Overall, reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.
The Fund’s duration started at 94% of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond: California Index but we moved closer to neutral, or to 97% of the index, by the end of the period as expectations of additional Fed rate hikes moderated in 2019. We continue to maintain an overweight to bonds rated A and below as higher-grade bonds have priced historically rich in the wake of tax reform, especially for states like California, which were affected to a greater degree by the cap on state and local tax deductions. Over the period, we have also added higher-rated, lower-coupon bonds, which offered additional incremental yield with lower expected price volatility in the current interest rate environment compared with lower-rated, higher-coupon bonds. Our exposure to state GOs decreased markedly as several large positions were refunded by the State of California, and we deployed those resources to other sectors, including hospitals, local GOs, and airports, which all have had strong relative performance over the period.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
As the yield curve flattened over the period and credit spreads tightened, longer-duration bonds and credit outperformed. The30-year AAA municipal benchmark rallied 63 bps (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) over the period, based on the Thomson Municipal Market Data AAA yield curve, resulting in a bull flattening, and as a result, long-duration bonds performed well. Many of our top contributors werenon-callablezero-coupon bonds. Strong demand for lower-rated bonds also contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as we maintained our overweight to this segment. Lower-rated airports and higher-rated 4% coupon bonds were among our most significant contributors to performance during the period. Finally, several nonrated special tax bonds experienced strong total return over the period as technical factors, including strong high-yield fund flows and historically tight credit spreads, supported demand.
Shorter-maturing bonds inside of 10 years did not rally as strongly as longer maturities. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to this maturity range hampered performance. Higher-quality bonds also generally underperformed. This includedpre-refunded, state GOs, and water and sewer bonds. The Fund’s overweight to the weaker-performing leasing/appropriation sector was a detractor and the Fund’s bonds underperformed those in the index. The Fund’s limited exposure to golden tobacco settlement bonds also detracted from performance as the specter of increased regulation and plunging smoking consumption led Standard & Poor’s to revise its modeling assumptions and place some credits on negative watch. Finally, the State of California refunded several large positions over the period—bonds issued when the state’s credit spreads were at recent highs—and as a result, we could not replace those book yields at a similar risk profile.
Our outlook is for lower rates
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market and we expect municipal bond valuations in the medium term to be helped by high state income tax rates, record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, and limited availability of gross municipal bond supply. However, we believe overall economic growth in this cycle has neared its peak and, as a result, the Fed may lower rates before the end of the year. As a result, we will look to maintain a neutral duration positioning and anup-in-quality trade approach.

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

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board(“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo CaliforniaTax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is anon-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
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 aremarked-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 onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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.
Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | 29
Notes to financial statements
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable andtax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $947,575,257 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 85,103,611 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (133,285 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 84,970,326 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $22,802,291 in short-term capital losses and $280,843 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

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 a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.400 | % |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.375 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.350 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.325 | |
| |
Next $5 billion | | | 0.290 | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.280 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.39% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent,sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee |
| |
Class A, Class C | | 0.16% |
| |
Administrator Class | | 0.10 |
| |
Institutional Class | | 0.08 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class C shares, 0.55% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | 31
Notes to financial statements
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive thefront-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Funds Distributor received $9,448 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule17a-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 $79,875,000 and $54,866,984 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $173,333,858 and $90,237,125, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $32,920,846 and $32,756,445 oftax-exempt income for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carry forward |
| | |
$287,958 | | $84,970,326 | | $(23,083,134) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |
| |
Class A | | | $14,178,372 | |
| |
Class C | | | 1,262,333 | |
| |
Administrator Class | | | 6,997,042 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 10,318,698 | |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territory of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable generaltax-exempt fund.
32 | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.ASU2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo California Tax-Free 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at an in-person meeting held on May 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and theSub-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 anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by
Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | 39
Other information (unaudited)
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 (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for the one-, and ten-year periods under review, and in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for the three- and five-year periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the one-, and three-year periods under review, but higher than its benchmark for the five- and ten-year periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 investmentsub-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’son-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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. 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, type and age of fund. Based on its review,
40 | Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund
Other information (unaudited)
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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo CaliforniaLimited-Term Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 2.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Administrator Class and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to California municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund (Class A shares, excluding sales charges) underperformed both of its benchmarks, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal 1-5 Year Blend Index and the Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal 1-5 Year Blend Index, during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | The Fund’s modest overweight exposure to AAA bonds was a detractor as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-rated bonds during this period of credit spread compression. The Fund’s exposure to the electric, water and sewer, and leasing sectors were also detractors. |
∎ | | The primary drivers of performance were the Fund’s yield-curve positioning, security selection, and credit profile with an overweight to the best-performing long bond maturity segment. Strong demand for lower-rated credits benefited the Fund’s overweight to A-rated and BBB-rated bonds. Security selection was also a contributor as our alternative minimum tax (AMT) holdings performed well relative to similar credits in the Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal 1-5 Year Blend Index. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20197 |

Fading growth expectations put the Fed on hold.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the
European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019 and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when they might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a general risk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform, which eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding higher-cost debt. Overall, reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.
The Fund’s duration started the period at about 113% of the Bloomberg Barclays California Municipal 1-5 Year Blend Index but we did let it drift down to 107% by the end of the period. Additionally, we temporarily entered into a tactical trade through which we shorted 10-year Treasury futures contracts in the first half of the period as rates were still moving higher. We continued to maintain an overweight to bonds rated A and below but slightly reduced this overweight during the period as credit spreads have approached historical lows. A few selective lower-rated new issues offered some relative value but, generally speaking, our new purchases were focused on higher-quality bonds. Additionally, we increased our exposure to state general obligation (GO) and AMT bonds during the year.
As the yield curve flattened over the period, longer maturities outperformed shorter maturity bonds. The Fund benefited from an overweight to the 7- to 10-year maturity range, where yields declined the most. Strong demand for lower-rated bonds contributed to the Fund’s relative performance as we maintained our overweight to this segment. Within this lower-rated space, our exposure to hospital and special tax bonds had some of the highest returns. Additionally, some of our larger positions in state GOs and airport revenue bonds were among our largest contributors to performance during the year. A few lower-rated bonds issued by universities saw their prices appreciate significantly and added to the Fund’s total return.

Performance highlights (unaudited)
Shorter-maturity bonds inside of three years didn’t see their yields decline as much as longer maturities and have lower price sensitivity. As a result, the Fund’s exposure to this maturity range lagged in performance. Higher-quality bonds generally underperformed as well. This included pre-refunded, electric, and water and sewer revenue bonds. Some premium-price bonds that experienced partial par calls during the period detracted from performance.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |

Our outlook is for lower rates
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market and we expect municipal bond valuations in the medium term to be helped by high state-income-tax rates, record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, and limited availability of gross municipal bond supply. However, we believe overall economic growth in this cycle has neared its peak and, as a result, the Fed may lower rates before the end of the year. As a result, we will look to maintain a neutral duration positioning and an up-in-quality trade approach.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | 29
Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo California Limited-TermTax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
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 aremarked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates and is subject to interest rate risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to financial statements
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. To the extent debt obligations are placed onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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 andtax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $528,686,012 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 17,040,085 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (377,287 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 16,662,798 | |
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At June 30, 2019, as a result of permanentbook-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Paid-in capital | | Total distributable earnings |
| |
$(110,356) | | $110,356 |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $6,762,696 in short-term capital losses and $1,013,978 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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
Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | 31
Notes to financial statements
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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

As compensation for its services under the investment management agreement, Funds Management is entitled to receive a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.400 | % |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.375 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.350 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.325 | |

Notes to financial statements
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent,sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
| |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
| |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.80% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.50% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive thefront-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares.

No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class C shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, and Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule17a-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 $46,536,984 and $74,370,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

Notes to financial statements
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Ordinary income | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 63,209 | |
| | |
Tax-exempt income | | | 11,666,053 | | | | 12,366,484 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| | |
$835,449 | | $16,662,798 | | $(7,776,674) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |
| |
Class A | | | $2,407,589 | |
| |
Class C | | | 297,433 | |
| |
Administrator Class | | | 2,899,311 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 6,825,360 | |
9. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territory of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable generaltax-exempt fund.
10. 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.

Notes to financial statements
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo California Limited-TermTax-Free 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at anin-person meeting held on May21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management andsub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo California Limited-TermTax-Free Fund(the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement (the“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the“Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and theSub-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 theSub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 asub-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 theSub-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 2019. 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 theSub-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 wasall-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-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 afund-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 theSub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and theSub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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, 2018. 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 (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for the five- andten-year periods under review,in-range of the average investment performance of the Universe for the three-year period under review, and lower than the average investment performance of the Universe for theone-year period under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal1-5 Year Blend Index, for theone- and three-year periods under review, but higher than its benchmark for the five- andten-year periods under review.
The Board received information concerning, and discussed factors contributing to, the underperformance of the Fund relative to the Universe and benchmark index for the periods identified above. The Board took note of the explanations for the relative underperformance during these periods, including with respect to investment decisions and market factors that affected the Fund’s investment performance. The Board also took note of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Universe and benchmark index over the longer time 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 othernon-management fees, and Rule12b-1 andnon-Rule12b-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 fromyear-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were in range of or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding tore-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management andsub-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 andsub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investmentsub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to theSub-Adviser for investmentsub-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 theSub-Adviser forsub-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 theSub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’son-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and theSub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and theSub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-partysub-advised fund clients andnon-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.

Other information (unaudited)
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 theSub-Adviser under theSub-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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that theSub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on afund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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 theSub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential“fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including theSub-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 theSub-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 andsub-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 theSub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019.

For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 3.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-15 Year Blend Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | We were short duration to the benchmark over the period, which detracted from performance as the market rallied. Our conservative duration position minimized volatility during the first half of the period but was a significant detractor as the market rallied in the second half of the period. |
∎ | | Yield-curve positioning was a positive contributor to performance as our bias toward a flatter curve in the first half of the year added to returns. |
∎ | | Credit positioning was the biggest driver of performance, and our overweight to lower-investment-grade credits (A-rated and BBB-rated) as well as a modest allocation to high-yield bonds positively influenced returns as these types of bonds benefited from a growing economy and a strong demand for income. |
∎ | | Sector allocation and security selection were also positive contributors to performance. Overweights to the local general obligation (GO), industrial development revenue (IDR)/pollution control revenue (PCR), leasing, and special tax sectors was positive. Selection within the state GOs, especially budget-challenged states such as Illinois and New Jersey, aided performance. Underweights to the housing and hospital sectors detracted from overall results. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20196 |
|

|
The Federal Reserve abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut over the period.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union.
These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019 and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November to 2.00% by the end of June.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a general risk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. Short municipals slightly underperformed Treasuries over the period. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform, which eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding higher-cost debt on a tax-exempt basis. Technicals drove the market as overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20197 |
|
 |
Factors across the market influenced Fund performance.
Credit positioning was a key performance driver. Yield-curve positioning, sector allocation, and security selection also aided performance while conservative duration positioning detracted.
Demand for income remained strong during the period as overall interest rates remained low by historical standards. This demand combined with positive fund flows, low supply, and slowing but steady economic growth helped lower-investment-grade bonds (A-rated and BBB-rated bonds) as well as high-yield bonds to outperform bonds in other rating categories. The Fund was overweight these rating categories and benefited as prices rose.
As the year progressed, we became increasingly cautious as yields of lower-investment-grade and high-yield bonds remained near historic lows. While we maintain a modest overweight to these rating categories, we took the opportunity to sell into strength and we have gradually reduced our exposure to bonds rated single-A and below and added to bonds rated AA and AAA.
We maintained duration short to the benchmark, which reduced volatility but detracted as the market rallied over the period. We altered the magnitude of the short-duration position to tactically take advantage of market peaks and troughs. The Fund’s duration ranged from a low of 4.20 years to a high of 4.73 years. We began the period with the Fund’s duration at about 90% of the benchmark’s and ended at roughly 95% of benchmark. We began extending duration in the third quarter of 2018 and continued into the fourth quarter, as supply increased and valuations were attractive. During the first quarter of 2019, we allowed duration to drift down as seasonal market factors took hold, with the intention of extending around tax time when technical strength typically subsides. Fund flows and lower-than-expected supply delayed and shortened the typical window, but we took the opportunity to get duration closer to neutral by buying bonds in the 12- to 17-year part of the curve and added higher-quality bonds.
We were underweight state GO bonds, as these bonds typically represent poor relative value. Despite the underweight, the Fund’s holdings outperformed the state GO bonds in the benchmark, indicating good selection within the sector. We were overweight local GOs, which was positive. The sector outperformed other sectors in the benchmark. Within revenue bond subsectors, overweights to IDR/PCR, education, leasing, and special tax bonds was positive as these sectors outperformed other sectors in the benchmark. Underweights to housing and hospital bonds was a drag on performance as these sectors also outperformed other sectors in the benchmark. We were also underweight the transportation and water and sewer sectors, both of which outperformed other sectors in the benchmark. Despite the underweights, the fund’s holdings within the sectors outperformed the corresponding sectors in the benchmark, which indicated favorable selection within the sectors. Illinois and New Jersey bonds were the two best-performing states in the index, and the Fund was overweight both. We reduced our exposure but still maintain an overweight to Illinois issuers. This was positive as Illinois was one of the top-performing states among bond issuers. Underweights to states New York and California were positive as both underperformed the bonds issued by other states that are represented in the benchmark. Fortunately, the Fund’s limited number of poor-performing securities mostly were higher-quality names purchased as part of our up-in-quality trade approach. We believe these bonds will outperform other securities in the benchmark over time as technicals unwind.
As the expansion appears to be in the rearview mirror, we believe a transition from risk may occur.
The economic expansion started in June 2009 and is the longest since the Great Depression. Low-quality bonds and equities have performed well with stocks near record high prices and bonds marching to record-low yields. We believe we are at late-cycle and, although there remains economic strength, the trend is negative and we expect growth to slow throughout the rest of the year. Our base case does not include a recession but rather suboptimal growth with little risk of an upside surprise to inflation at this point. Global economic growth is anemic at best with trade issues and Brexit concerns adding to a weakening economic environment. Fed rhetoric is dovish and, as of June 30, 2019, the bond market was pricing in multiple rate cuts by year-end, the effect of which would likely serve to inflate asset prices rather than provide any real economic stimulus. Slow economic growth bodes well for bonds but not necessarily for credit spreads as slower economic growth typically weighs on credit quality.
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market. Bond valuations in the medium term are supported by strong technicals such as record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, limited availability of gross municipal bond supply, and continued flows into the asset class. The Fund is structured for a slower growth environment with duration close to neutral, curve positioning based largely on a key rate structure as we transition to a rate-cutting cycle, a higher credit-quality bias, and a focus on sectors that should perform well as the economic growth slows.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo IntermediateTax/AMT-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) 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.
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 aremarked-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 onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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 andtax-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.
Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | 53
Notes to financial statements
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,528,780,711 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 131,065,671 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (1,419,786 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 129,645,885 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $9,449,449 in short-term capital losses and $22,944,773 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |
| | | | |
Assets | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Municipal obligations | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 2,658,426,596 | | | $ | 0 | | | $ | 2,658,426,596 | |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
At June 30, 2019, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.70% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares, 0.40% for Class R6 shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.45% for Institutional Class shares.

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.

Notes to financial statements
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. 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 (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for the one-, five- and ten-year periods under review, and in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for the three-year period under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1-15 Year Blend Index, for the one-, three- and five-year periods under review, but higher than its benchmark for the ten-year period under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.

Other information (unaudited)
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. 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, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/ or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2020, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the expenses of each class after fee waivers at 0.75% for Class A, 1.50% for Class C, 0.43% for Class R6, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.48% for Institutional Class. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any), and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. 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. |

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

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund (Class A, excluding sales charges) underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, during the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | Our conservative duration position dampened volatility early in the period but was a drag on performance as the market rallied. |
∎ | | Issue selection was also a key driver of performance, especially in the local general obligation (GO), transportation, education, and leasing sectors. An underweight to the strong-performing health care sector detracted from overall results. |
∎ | | Credit positioning was the biggest driver of performance, and our overweight to lower-investment-grade credits (A-rated and BBB-rated bonds) as well as a modest allocation to high-yield bonds positively influenced returns as these types of bonds benefited from a growing economy and a strong demand for income. |
∎ | | Our bias toward a flatter curve aided performance as the curve flattened over the period. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20196 |
|
 |
The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut over the period.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved
into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a general risk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. Short municipals slightly underperformed Treasuries over the period. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularity municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new-issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform that eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding, higher-cost debt on a tax-exempt basis. Technicals drove the market as overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.
Factors across the market influenced Fund performance.
An overweight to credit and individual security selection were the two main drivers of performance. Yield-curve and sector positioning also aided performance, while duration positioning was a drag on performance.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20197 |
|
 |
Demand for income remained strong during the period as overall interest rates remained low by historical standards. This demand combined with positive fund flows, low supply, and slowing but steady economic growth helped lower-investment-grade bonds (A-rated and BBB-rated bonds) as well as high-yield bonds outperform bonds in other rating categories. The Fund was overweight these rating categories and benefited as prices rose.
We have been cautious on credit for some time as yields on lower-investment-grade and high-yield bonds remain near historical lows. While an improving economy typically helps credit, we believe much of the credit rally has been driven by technicals rather than fundamentals. Consequently, we have implemented an up-in-quality trade approach by selling
specific credits and rating categories into strength and purchasing higher-grade bonds with proceeds and incremental cash flows, thereby increasing the average credit quality of the portfolio. Even so, we purposefully maintain a modest overweight to seasoned lower-quality investment-grade bonds as well as a small allocation to high-yield bonds, which enhance the income component of total return.
We maintained duration short to the benchmark, which reduced volatility but detracted from performance as the market rallied over the period. We altered the magnitude of the short duration position to tactically take advantage of market peaks and troughs. The Fund’s duration ranged from a low of 4.80 years to a high of 6.48 years. We began the period at about 89% of the benchmark’s duration and ended at roughly 95% of benchmark. We began extending duration in the third quarter of 2018 and continued into the fourth quarter, as supply increased and valuations were attractive. During the first quarter of 2019, we allowed duration to drift down as seasonal market factors took hold, with the intention of extending around tax time, when technical strength typically subsides. Fund flows and lower-than-expected supply delayed and shortened the typical window, but we took the opportunity to get duration closer to neutral by buying bonds in the 15- to 22-year part of the curve and added higher-quality bonds.
We were underweight state GO bonds, as these bonds typically represent poor relative value, as well as local GO bonds. Despite the underweights, we outperformed compared with those sectors in the index, indicating good selection within both sectors. Within revenue bond subsectors, overweights to industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue, water and sewer, and special tax bonds were positive as these sectors outperformed. We were neutral weight the leasing sector but outperformed by a wide margin, indicating favorable selection within the sector. Underweights to housing and hospital bonds were a drag on performance as these sectors outperformed. In addition, underweights to the electric, transportation, and education sectors weighed on performance as these sectors outperformed. However, despite the underweights to these sectors, we outperformed them, indicating strong selection within each sector. Our overweight to Illinois credits was positive as it was one of the top-performing states in the index. Underweights to specialty states New York and California were positive as both underperformed the index. Fortunately, the Fund had a limited number of poor-performing securities, most of which were higher-quality names purchased as part of our up-in-quality trade approach. We believe these will outperform over time as technicals unwind. A couple of our prepaid gas bonds also underperformed, detracting from overall performance.
As the expansion appears to be in the rearview mirror, a transition away from risk may be warranted.
The economic expansion started in June 2009 and is the longest since the Great Depression. Low-quality bonds and equities have performed well with both near records—highs on stocks and bonds marching to record-low yields. We believe we are late-cycle, and although economic strength remains, the trend is negative and we expect growth to slow throughout the rest of the year. Our base case does not include a recession but rather suboptimal growth with little risk of an upside surprise to inflation at this point. Global economic growth is anemic at best, with trade issues and Brexit concerns adding to a weakening economic environment. Fed rhetoric is dovish, and as of June 30, 2019, the bond market was pricing in multiple rate cuts by year-end, the effect of which would likely serve to inflate asset prices rather than provide any real economic stimulus. Slow economic growth bodes well for bonds but not necessarily for credit spreads, as slower economic growth typically weighs on credit quality.
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market. Bond valuations in the medium term are supported by strong technicals, such as record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, limited availability of gross municipal bond supply, and continued flows into the asset class.
The Fund is structured for a slower-growth environment, with duration close to neutral, curve positioning based largely on a key rate structure as we transition to a rate-cutting cycle, a higher credit-quality bias, and a focus on sectors that should perform well as economic growth slows.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

1 | Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the SEC prospectively eliminated the requirement to parenthetically disclose undistributed net investment income at the end of the period and permitted the aggregation of distributions, with the exception of tax basis returns of capital. Overdistributed net investment income at June 30, 2018 was $845,178. The disaggregated distributions information for the year ended June 30, 2018 is included in Note 9,Distributions to Shareholders, in the notes to the financial statements. |

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Equity securities and futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the principal exchange or market that day, a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Swap contracts are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates and is subject to interest rate risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as the counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses
Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund | 57
Notes to financial statements
and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows over a specified period. Swap agreements are privately negotiated contracts between the Fund and a counterparty in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse.
For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid and any upfront fees received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the contract. The daily fluctuations in market value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on OTC swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contract is the premium received or paid.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit an initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is shown as cash segregated for centrally cleared swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). The variation margin is recorded as an unrealized gain (or loss) and shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on centrally cleared swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations.
Credit default swaps
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or a basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. Credit default swaps are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the protection seller in consideration for a promise from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring).
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. If the Fund is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, the Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. If the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.
As the seller of protection, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates.
By entering into credit default swap contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk. In addition, certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Fund provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements.
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.
58 | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements
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 June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $4,813,037,558 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 243,144,032 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (5,263,939 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 237,880,093 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $788,407 in short-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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.

Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee |
| |
Class A, Class C | | 0.16% |
| |
Class R6 | | 0.03 |
| |
Administrator Class | | 0.10 |
| |
Institutional Class | | 0.08 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2020 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.75% for Class A shares, 1.50% for Class C shares, 0.43% for Class R6 shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class Shares and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Funds Distributor received $27,027 from the sale of Class A shares and $431 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A, Class C, Administrator Class of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class.

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 $490,860,000 and $316,190,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

7. ACQUISTIONS
After the close of business on March 15, 2019, the Fund acquired the net assets of Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund and Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund (collectively, the “Acquired Funds”). The purpose of the transactions was to combine three funds with similar investment objectives and strategies. The Fund became the accounting and performance survivor in the transaction. The acquisitions were accomplished by a tax-free exchange of all of the shares of the Acquired Funds for shares of the Fund. Shareholders holding Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares of each Acquired Funds received Class A, Class C and Institutional Class shares, respectively, of the Fund in the reorganizations. Administrator Class shares of Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund received Administrator Class shares of the Fund. The investment portfolio of Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund and Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund with fair values of $67,159,606, and $39,269,320, respectively, and identified costs of $63,687,809, and $37,881,620, respectively, at March 15, 2019 were the principal assets acquired by the Fund. For financial reporting purposes, assets received and shares issued by the Fund were recorded at fair value; however, the cost basis of the investments received from the Acquired Funds were carried forward to align with ongoing reporting of the Fund’s realized and unrealized gains and losses with amounts distributable to shareholders for tax purposes. The value of net assets acquired, unrealized gains acquired, exchange ratio and number of shares issued were as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Acquired fund | | Value of net assets acquired | | | Unrealized gains | | | Exchange ratio | | | Number of shares issued |
Wells Fargo Colorado Tax-Free Fund | | $ | 69,585,137 | | | $ | 3,471,797 | | | | 1.04 | | | | 2,805,719 | | | Class A |
| | | | | | | | | | | 1.05 | | | | 578,776 | | | Class C |
| | | | | | | | | | | 1.04 | | | | 1,758,364 | | | Administrator Class |
| | | | | | | | | | | 1.05 | | | | 1,609,227 | | | Institutional Class |
Wells Fargo North Carolina Tax-Free Fund | | | 40,561,601 | | | | 1,387,700 | | | | 0.97 | | | | 2,235,777 | | | Class A |
| | | | | | | | | | | 0.97 | | | | 185,614 | | | Class C |
| | | | | | | | | | | 0.97 | | | | 1,514,788 | | | Institutional Class |
The aggregate net assets of the Fund immediately before and after the acquisitions were $3,786,391,719 and $3,896,538,457, respectively.
Assuming the acquisitions had been completed July 1, 2018, the beginning of the annual reporting period for the Fund, the pro forma results of operations for the year ended June 30, 2019 would have been as follows (unaudited):
| | | | |
| |
Net investment income | | $ | 114,397,248 | |
| |
Net realized and unrealized gains on investments | | $ | 149,990,955 | |
| |
Net increase in net assets resulting from operations | | $ | 264,388,203 | |
Because the combined investment portfolios have been managed as a single integrated portfolio since the acquisition was completed, it is not practicable to separate the amounts of revenue and earnings of the Acquired Funds that have been included in the Fund’s Statement of Operations since March 16, 2019.
8. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
9. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 111,298,957 | | | $ | 89,128,966 | |
| | |
Long-term capital gain | | | 0 | | | | 5,899,085 | |
62 | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | | | |
Undistributed ordinary income | | Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| | | |
$1,577,042 | | $1,018,256 | | $237,880,093 | | $(788,407) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
| | Net investment income | | | Net realized gains | |
| | |
Class A | | | $37,790,314 | | | | $2,915,720 | |
| | |
Class C | | | 3,290,591 | | | | 340,495 | |
| | |
Administrator Class | | | 4,313,164 | | | | 247,992 | |
| | |
Institutional Class | | | 43,127,825 | | | | 3,001,950 | |
10. 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.
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Municipal Bond 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. 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 (Administrator 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
70 | Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund
Other information (unaudited)
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. 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, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 2.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

∎ | | An underweight to state of Connecticut bonds detracted, while overweight exposures to Illinois- and New Jersey-related debt added to performance. Lower-rated securities continued to perform well as investors searched for yield on the short end of the curve. |
∎ | | The Fund’s short duration throughout the year contributed to performance. The barbell duration positioning benefited performance as bonds on the very short end of the curve and bonds in the six- to seven-year maturity range contributed to overall portfolio performance as the yield curve flattened. |

The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved
into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a general risk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. Short municipals slightly underperformed Treasuries over the period. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new-issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform that eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding, higher-cost debt. Overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.
Lower credit quality continued to drive returns.
As the period began, the Fund modestly increased interest rate exposure into market weakness. Yields on the 5-year Treasury peaked in November at over 3%. We took advantage of market weakness and seasonally high issuance at year-end to get closer to neutral duration positioning. Also, as credit spreads continued to tighten, we began buying higher-quality bonds but maintained an overweight to BBB-rated bonds. The Fund’s overweight to BBB-rated debt contributed to performance as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds during the period. In addition, the Fund’s overweight to lower-quality bonds with relatively short maturities allowed a competitive yield without significant duration risk. Sector positioning detracted from performance during the period due to underweights to state general obligation bonds and lease-backed bonds. Also, as the

expectation grew for rates to move lower, our exposure to floating-rate notes underperformed. However, overweights to Illinois and New Jersey bonds and industrial development revenue (IDR) and hospital bonds positively affected performance over the period. We also added to our alternative minimum tax (AMT) exposure, specifically airport and IDR bonds, as bonds subject to the AMT provided additional incremental yield.
Our outlook is for lower rates.
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market and we expect municipal bond valuations in the medium term to be helped by high state income tax rates, record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, and limited availability of gross municipal bond supply. However, we believe overall economic growth in this cycle has neared its peak, and as a result, the Fed may lower rates before the end of the year. Therefore, we will look to maintain a neutral duration positioning and an up-in-quality trade approach.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | 47
Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates and is subject to interest rate risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.

Notes to financial statements
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
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 June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $3,971,869,937 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 40,240,288 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (4,637,756 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 35,602,532 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $43,260,519 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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.

Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.05% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.

50 | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.63% for Class A shares, 1.38% for Class C shares, 0.35% for Class R6 shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.40% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares.

The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. 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 A) 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 lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Composite Municipal Bond Index, for the one-year period under review, in range of its benchmark for the three-year period under review, equal to its benchmark for the five-year period under review, but higher than its benchmark for the ten-year period under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | 59
Other information (unaudited)
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. 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, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Currentmonth-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximumfront-end sales charge is 2.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without afront-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/ or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund (Class A shares, excluding sales charges) underperformed its benchmarks, the Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Blended Index, the Bloomberg Barclays1-Year Municipal Bond Index, and the iMoneyNetTax-Free National Institutional Money Market Funds Average, for the12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | The Fund’s overweight toBBB-rated bonds, combined with underweights to higher-rated and prerefunded bonds, contributed to performance. However, an overweight to floating-rate bonds and underweights toA-rated, state general obligation (GO), and lease revenue bonds detracted from performance. |
∎ | | The Fund’s duration was shorter than the Bloomberg Barclays1-Year Municipal Bond Index, and despite rates declining across the yield curve over the past year, our short duration contributed to performance as the bonds on the very short end outperformed. |
∎ | | Yield-curve positioning also contributed to performance over the period. While this Fund will invest only in securities with a maturity of five years or shorter, as the curve flattened, those slightly longer maturities outperformed. |
|
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20199 |

The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union.
These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019.

Credit quality as of June 30, 201910 |
|
 |
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a generalrisk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. Short municipals slightly underperformed Treasuries over the period. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. Whilenew-issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform that
eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding, higher-cost debt. Overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.

Lower credit quality continued to drive returns.
As the period began, the Fund began to modestly increase interest rate exposure into market weakness. Yields on the five-year Treasury peaked in November at over 3%. We took advantage of market weakness and seasonally high issuance atyear-end to get closer to neutral duration positioning. Also, as credit spreads continued to tighten, we began buying higher-quality bonds but maintained an overweight toBBB-rated bonds. The Fund’s overweight toBBB-rated debt contributed to performance as lower-rated bonds outperformed higher-quality bonds during the period. In addition, the Fund’s overweight to lower-quality bonds with relatively short maturities allowed a competitive yield without significant duration risk. Sector positioning detracted from performance during the period due to an underweight to state GO and lease-backed bonds. Also, as the expectation for future rates to move lower increased, our exposure to floating-rate notes underperformed. However, overweights to Illinois and New Jersey bonds positively affected performance over the period.
Our outlook is for lower rates.
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market and we expect municipal bond valuations in the medium term to be helped by high state income tax rates, record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, and limited availability of gross municipal bond supply. However, we believe overall economic growth in this cycle has neared its peak, and as a result, the Fed may lower rates before the end of the year. Therefore, we will look to maintain a neutral duration positioning and anup-in-quality trade approach.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution(12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of thesix-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
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 aremarked-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 onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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 andtax-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.
Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | 39
Notes to financial statements
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,918,267,441 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 7,172,593 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (557,627 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 6,614,966 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $2,919,850 in short-term capital losses and $23,588,856 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.05% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent,sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
| |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
| |
Class R6 | | | 0.03 | |
| |
Administrator Class | | | 0.10 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.67% for Class A shares, 1.42% for Class C shares, 0.32% for Class R6 shares, and 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.37% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive thefront-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Funds Distributor received $1,942 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.

7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $39,672,329 and $45,973,155 oftax-exempt income for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:

The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |

Institutional Class | | | 28,738,290 | |
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at anin-person meeting held on May21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management andsub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund(the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement (the“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the“Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and theSub-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 theSub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 asub-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 theSub-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 2019. 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 theSub-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 wasall-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-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 afund-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 theSub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and theSub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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, 2018. 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 A) was in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for theone-year period under review, but lower than the average investment performance of the Universe for the three-, five- andten-year periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays 1 Year Municipal Bond Index, for theone-, three- and five-year periods under review, but in range of its benchmark for theten-year period under review.
The Board received information concerning, and discussed factors contributing to, the underperformance of the Fund relative to the Universe and benchmark for the periods identified above. The Board took note of the explanations for the relative underperformance during these periods, including with respect to investment decisions and market factors that affected the Fund’s investment performance. The Board also took note of the Fund’s outperformance relative to the Universe and benchmark over the longer time 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 othernon-management fees, and Rule12b-1 andnon-Rule12b-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 fromyear-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or equal to the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding tore-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management andsub-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 andsub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investmentsub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to theSub-Adviser for investmentsub-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 theSub-Adviser forsub-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 theSub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’son-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and theSub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and theSub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-partysub-advised fund clients andnon-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to theSub-Adviser under theSub-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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that theSub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on afund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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 theSub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential“fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including theSub-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 theSub-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 andsub-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 theSub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to Wisconsin and Puerto Rico municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, and nondiversification funds risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, and its secondary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | The Fund’s conservative short duration positioning was a detractor from performance as all rates rallied and declined across the yield curve. Additionally, sector allocations had a negative effect on performance. |
∎ | | The Fund’s overweight to bonds rated A and BBB was a driver of performance, as lower-rated investment-grade bonds outperformed higher-rated bonds. The Fund’s overweight to housing and leasing bonds was also a positive contributor to performance. |
∎ | | Yield-curve positioning added to performance. We were overweight intermediate- to longer-term bonds, which outperformed, and underweight shorter-term bonds, which underperformed. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20197 |

The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut on fading growth expectations.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union.
These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June. The municipal market mutual fund bond flows in the first half of 2019 were in excess of $42 billion, a number not seen since 1992. With this strong technical backdrop for the municipal bonds market and the Fed possibly cutting rates, bonds rallied in the first half of 2019. The intermediate and longer bonds along the yield curve outperformed shorter bonds. With all these factors at play, we see strong support for the municipal market over the short to intermediate term.
Wisconsin offers municipal bond investing opportunities.
Wisconsin is the 21st-largest state by gross domestic product (GDP) and 20th by population, rated AA (stable) by Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC and Aa1 (stable) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. While the state’s GDP grew at a slower pace than the national level in 2018, the labor market remains tighter, with a 2018 year-end unemployment rate of 2.8% and labor force participation rate of 65.3%. The state’s largest employment sector is manufacturing, although it has been successful at diversifying away that exposure, mainly into the health care industry. Based on solid economic performance, the state has done well financially with an upside surprise in tax collections, which has led to the state’s strongest-ever budget stabilization fund balance at $320.1 million. Debt levels remain modestly elevated, although the state benefits from having a fully funded pension plan. Tony Evers was elected governor in 2018, unseating eight-year incumbent Scott Walker. Evers has significant budget initiatives, including K–12, juvenile, and university system funding increases. However, given a Republican legislature, there will most likely be some sort of compromise for the fiscal-year 2019–2021 budget, which was signed into law on July 3. In addition, the state continues to be in the headlines related to uncertainty regarding the Foxconn Technology Group development, although it appears that some construction has started on the facility.
Credit quality, yield-curve positioning, and security selection drove positive performance; duration positioning and sector allocation detracted.
In anticipation of the Fed continuing to normalize rates, we kept the Fund’s duration short relative to its primary benchmark in the first half of the year and started extending duration in the latter part of 2018 as growth faded for the economy. The Fund

was still short to its primary benchmark at the end of the period, which detracted from performance. As the Fed moved to the sidelines in the early part of 2019 and further positioned itself to cut rates, we continued to buy bonds of higher quality further out the yield curve. The Fund’s yield-curve positioning was a slight contributor to performance. We were overweight intermediate- and longer-term bonds, which outperformed, and underweight shorter bonds, which underperformed.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
The credit-quality allocation was the largest driver of performance along with individual security selection. The Fund’s overweight to bonds rated A and BBB was a significant driver of performance, as lower-rated investment-grade bonds outperformed higher-rated bonds. We’ve purchased many state issuers over the year—including Ashwaubenon, WI, Community Development Authority lease bonds and Milwaukee, WI, Redevelopment Authority bonds—Summerfest Project, but with the limited supply of double-tax-exempt bonds, we’ve found some opportunities in other states as a relative-value opportunity. We purchased state of Illinois general obligation bonds and Denton, TX, Independent School District bonds, which were
some of the better-performing bonds of the year. Sector allocation was a detractor from performance overall, as we were overweight prerefunded bonds, which underperformed, and underweight revenue bonds, which outperformed. However, being overweight leasing and housing bonds within the revenue bond sector, which outperformed other bonds in the sector, and selecting bonds like Wisconsin Center District Bonds—Milwaukee Arena Project and Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development bonds (Madison Pool Project), which were some of the best-performing bonds, added to performance.
Slowing growth supports credit fundamentals, but market technicals are driving performance and issue selection remains key in state-specific funds.
We believe U.S. economic growth is slowing but still continues at a modest pace. Wisconsin’s economy is slightly trailing the national average. However, its solid economic base and prudent debt issuance discipline could lead to modestly higher revenues for many municipalities along with improved credit fundamentals. We view the Fed becoming more dovish and potentially cutting rates in the latter half of 2019 as supportive of GDP growth. Some municipalities may do well and others may continue to struggle. That is why we feel credit selection will remain important. We expect to remain overweight lower-quality investment-grade bonds, though we believe investors currently are not being compensated sufficiently for making new investments in some of these areas. In our view, the long-term drivers of valuations will be supply and demand trends, absolute yield levels, the shape of the yield curve, and credit fundamentals. We will continue to extend the Fund’s duration slightly. While we will continue our bias to overweighting lower-quality investment-grade bonds, it will be to a lesser degree, and we will add some higher-quality bonds in the AAA and AA areas as opportunities arise. We will monitor economic growth, the technical market, and fundamental credit quality to see if any changes are warranted in duration, yield-curve positioning, or credit-quality selections over the next year.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | 21
Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Investments 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.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates and is subject to interest rate risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.
22 | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
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 June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $128,235,650 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 5,532,939 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (30,743 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 5,502,196 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $28,128 in short-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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.
Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | 23
Notes to financial statements
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
At June 30, 2019, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of 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 a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.400 | % |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.375 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.350 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.325 | |
| |
Next $5 billion | | | 0.290 | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.280 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee |
| |
Class A, Class C | | 0.16% |
| |
Institutional Class | | 0.08 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to
24 | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements
waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.70% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares, and 0.52% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the year ended June 30, 2019, Funds Distributor received $5,475 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the year ended June 30, 2019.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Class C of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
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 $3,600,000 and $3,985,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $10,788,645 and $18,481,600, respectively.
6. DERIVATIVE TRANSACTIONS
During the year ended June 30, 2019 the Fund entered into futures contracts to gain market exposure. The Fund had an average notional amount of $1,551,019 in long futures contracts during the year ended June 30, 2019.
The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses, if any, on derivative instruments are reflected in the corresponding financial statement captions.
7. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $3,515,977 and $3,599,283 of tax-exempt income for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| | |
$18,042 | | $5,502,196 | | $(28,128) |
Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | 25
Notes to financial statements
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |
| |
Class A | | | $2,888,504 | |
| |
Class C | | | 159,161 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 551,618 | |
9. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territory of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable general tax-exempt fund.
10. 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.
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. The Board considered these results in comparison to the investment performance of funds in a universe that was determined by
32 | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund
Other information (unaudited)
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 A) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for the one- and three-year periods under review, and lower than the average investment performance of the Universe for the five- and ten-year periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the three-, five- and ten-year periods under review, but higher than its benchmark for the one-year period under review.
The Board received information concerning, and discussed factors contributing to, the underperformance of the Fund relative to the Universe and benchmark index for the periods identified above. The Board took note of the explanations for the relative underperformance during these periods, including with respect to investment decisions and market factors that affected the Fund’s investment performance.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 or equal to the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to the Sub-Adviser for sub-advisory services. In assessing the reasonableness of this amount, the Board received and evaluated information about the nature and extent of responsibilities retained and risks assumed by Funds Management and not delegated to or assumed by the Sub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’s on-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund | 33
Other information (unaudited)
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. 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, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo PennsylvaniaTax-Free Fund for the12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded eitherlow-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at theG-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results,and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Currentmonth-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximumfront-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Institutional Class shares are sold without afront-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to Pennsylvania municipal securities risk and high-yield securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

The state of Pennsylvania offers municipal bond investing opportunities.
The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is rated Aa3 (stable), A+ (stable), andAA- (neutral) by Moody’s Investors Service, Inc.; Standard & Poor’s Financial Services LLC; and Fitch Ratings Inc., respectively. With 12.8 million people, Pennsylvania is the sixth-largest state by population, according to the U.S. Census Bureau, as well as by gross domestic product, which was $788 billion in 2018. The commonwealth’s economy is diverse and stable in health care and higher education sectors, primarily in the cities of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, which account for 40% of the state’s total population. We note that the state’s population, revenue, and employment growth have consistently lagged
national growth averages, although the growth gap has narrowed over the past couple of years. The commonwealth ended fiscal-year 2018 with a small operating surplus, which has reduced the structural imbalance. Preliminary results for fiscal-year 2019 portray another surplus and a planned deposit into the state’srainy-day fund. While the state’s unassigned general fund balance still remains in a deficit position, the state historically has maintained significant liquidity sources outside of the general fund that can be used during periods of cash-flow shortages. Over the past several years, the commonwealth has steadily increased its pension contributions in order to address growing unfunded pension liabilities. The state passed anon-time budget two years in a row, which we view as a positive credit factor.
The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut on fading growth expectations.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019. The municipal market mutual fund bond flows in the first half of 2019 were in excess of $42 billion, a number not seen since 1992. With this strong technical back drop for the municipal bond market and the Fed possibly cutting rates, bonds rallied in the first half of 2019, posting strong performance. The intermediate- and longer-maturity bonds along the yield curve outperformed shorter-term bonds. With all these factors at play, we see strong support for the municipal market over the short to intermediate term.
As the Fed moved to the sidelines in 2019 after normalizing rates throughout 2018, we started extending the Fund’s duration for the next macro move in rates. However, we ended the year shorter than the Fund’s benchmark duration, which was a detractor from performance. Credit spreads have contracted significantly, and we feel investors are not being fully compensated for lower-rated investment-grade bonds (bonds rated A and BBB). Consequently, we have migrated up in credit quality with purchases of higher-grade bonds. In general, we rely on a seasoned credit team and have a bias to lower-quality

investment-grade bonds, and while this bias remains, we are adding higher-quality bonds in the AAA and AA range as opportunities arise. This tactical move is based on where we are in the credit cycle and the technical market we are experiencing, with municipal mutual fund bond flows that are reaching stretched valuations for lower-rated credits.
Credit-quality and sector allocation and yield-curve positioning benefited performance, duration detracted.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
Credit-quality allocation, sector allocation, and yield-curve positioning were positive drivers of performance. Although we extended duration over the year, the Fund’s short duration position detracted from performance.
The Fund was overweightAAA-rated andBBB-rated bonds and had a modest allocation toout-of-benchmarknon-investment-grade bonds. WhileAAA-rated andBBB-rated bonds underperformed in general, our selectivity in this category was above average and drove positive performance within these categories. We were underweightAA-rated andA-rated bonds, which outperformed and detracted from performance. We were overweight leasing and water and sewer bonds, which outperformed. Some of thebest-performing bonds in the portfolio were the
Delaware Valley Regional Finance Authority, PA, (lease) bonds and the Philadelphia Water and Wastewater revenue bonds. Local GO bonds outperformed, and the Fund was overweight local GOs, such as the Central Dauphin School District and West School District bonds, both of which outperformed. While we didn’t purchase any prerefunded bonds, many bonds that we held within the Fund were refunded, leading to an overweight in this category. Prerefunded bonds are at a premium with the 2018 tax law changes that disallowed certain refundings on atax-exempt basis, and with the irreplaceable large book yields on some of these bonds, we will maintain those positions that are driving income to the Fund.
We were short duration at the beginning of the year, taking a defensive stance as the Fed was expected to move rates in late 2018 and in 2019, but as growth slowed, the Fed became more dovish. We began extending duration but were still short atyear-end, which significantly detracted from performance. Yield-curve positioning was a modest contributor to performance as we were underweight shorter maturities, which underperformed, and overweight intermediate maturities, the best-performing part of the curve on a risk-adjusted basis.
Going forward, we like lower-investment-grade and certain higher-yielding bonds, but we don’t think investors are currently compensated for owning such bonds. We became cautious early in the period and remain so today. We do expect to find better entry points once technicals unwind, but right now, we believe there is better value in high-quality investment-grade bonds and are consequently implementing anup-in-quality trade approach as we continue to extend duration with the expectation that the Fed will cut rates over the next year. We will look to add credit in lower-rated(A-rated andBBB-rated) bonds tactically if the market were to reprice these bonds to sufficient credit-spread levels that warrant their purchase.
Slowing growth supports credit fundamentals, but market technicals are driving performance and issue selection remains key in state-specific funds.
We believe U.S. economic growth is slowing but still continues at a modest pace. Pennsylvania has a large diverse economy that slightly lags the national average and should continue to show modest growth. Many municipalities have taken the opportunity during this growth cycle to improve credit fundamentals. We view the Fed becoming more dovish, potentially cutting rates in the latter half of 2019 to continue to support economic growth. Some municipalities may do well and others may continue to struggle. That is why we feel credit selection is critically important. We will continue to remain overweight seasoned lower-quality investment-grade bonds in the portfolio, notwithstanding the fact that we believe investors currently are not being compensated sufficiently for making new investments in some of these areas. In our view, the long-term drivers of valuations will be supply and demand trends, absolute yield levels, the shape of the yield curve, and credit fundamentals. We will continue to extend the Fund’s duration toward its benchmark as the cycle unfolds. We will monitor economic growth, the technical market, and fundamental credit quality to see if any changes are warranted in duration, yield-curve positioning, or credit-quality selections over the next year.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution(12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of thesix-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo PennsylvaniaTax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
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 aremarked-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 onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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.
Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | 21
Notes to financial statements
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable andtax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $119,631,914 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 8,302,931 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (7,318 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 8,295,613 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $469,893 in short-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

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 a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | | | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee | |
| |
First $500 million | | | 0.400 | % |
| |
Next $500 million | | | 0.375 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.350 | |
| |
Next $2 billion | | | 0.325 | |
| |
Next $5 billion | | | 0.290 | |
| |
Over $10 billion | | | 0.280 | |
For the year ended June 30, 2019, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent,sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Class-level administration fee | |
| |
Class A, Class C | | | 0.16 | % |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 0.08 | |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.74% for Class A shares, 1.49% for Class C shares, and 0.49% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, 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

Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Class C of the Fund are charged a fee at an annual rate of 0.25% of the average daily net assets of each respective class. A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule17a-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 $1,000,000 and $3,000,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $12,347,939 and $29,523,877, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid during the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Year ended June 30 | |
| | |
| | 2019 | | | 2018 | |
| | |
Tax-exempt income | | $ | 4,119,951 | | | $ | 5,180,520 | |
| | |
Tax basis return of capital | | | 310,520 | | | | 0 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | |
Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| |
$8,295,613 | | $(469,893) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |
| |
Class A | | | $1,414,368 | |
| |
Class C | | | 375,013 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 3,391,139 | |
8. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or territory of the U.S. Therefore, it may be more affected by economic and political developments in that state or region than would be a comparable generaltax-exempt fund.

9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.ASU2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo PennsylvaniaTax-Free 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at anin-person meeting held on May21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management andsub-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 PennsylvaniaTax-Free Fund(the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement (the“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the“Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and theSub-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 theSub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 asub-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 theSub-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 2019. 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 theSub-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 wasall-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-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 afund-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 theSub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and theSub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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, 2018. 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 (Administrator Class) was higher than the average investment performance of the Universe for theten-year period under review, equal to the average investment performance of the Universe for thefive-year period under review, and in range of the average investment performance of the Universe for theone- and three-year periods under review. The Board also noted that the investment performance of the Fund was lower than its benchmark index, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the three-year period under review, in range of its benchmark for theone-year period under review, but higher than its benchmark for the five- andten-year 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 othernon-management fees, and Rule12b-1 andnon-Rule12b-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 fromyear-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding tore-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management andsub-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 andsub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investmentsub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to theSub-Adviser for investmentsub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or equal to the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to theSub-Adviser forsub-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 theSub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’son-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and theSub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and theSub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-partysub-advised fund clients andnon-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to theSub-Adviser under theSub-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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that theSub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on afund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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 theSub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential“fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including theSub-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 theSub-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 andsub-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 theSub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund for the 12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded either low-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at the G-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website,wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.00%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Index, for the12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | The Fund’s conservative duration positioning detracted from performance as yields moved considerably lower over the period. However, yield-curve positioning modestly contributed to performance. |
∎ | | The Fund’s overweight to lower-quality credits was a positive contributor. Economic growth, while modest, generally has helped municipal credit quality improve, causing BBB-rated and other high-yield bonds to be some of the best performers. |
∎ | | The Fund’s underweight to prerefunded bonds and overweight to revenue bonds positively affected performance, while the underweight to state general obligation bonds detracted from performance. Specifically, within the revenue bond sector, hospital and industrial development revenue were the best-performing bonds in the index. The Fund’s overweight to those sectors contributed to performance over the period. |
|
|
Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut over the period.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and
uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark 10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a general risk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. Short municipals slightly underperformed Treasuries over the period. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. While new-issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform that eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding, higher-cost debt. Overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.
Security selection and sector exposure combined with an overweight to credit were the main drivers of performance.
As the period began, the Fund began to increase its interest rate exposure into relative market weakness. Yields on 10-year Treasury bonds peaked in November but consistently moved lower over the second half of the period. While the duration of the Fund extended slightly, it was still short versus the benchmark and thus not enough to overcome the subsequent rally in rates over the next seven months. Therefore, duration positioning detracted from performance over the period. However, the yield-curve positioning of the Fund contributed to performance as the yield curve flattened considerably. As a result, recent purchases into the Fund have been more focused on the steepest parts of the yield curve. We have also taken up the percentage of bonds subject to the alternative minimum tax as the number of individual investors subject to the tax has declined considerably. Going forward, we will look to extend the duration at times of weakness in the market.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20199 |
|

|
Municipal credit spreads continued to decline as demand remained robust. The Fund has gradually reduced its exposure to bonds rated A and below and added exposure to higher-rated bonds. Lower-quality bonds performed well during the period, and the Fund’s above-benchmark exposure was the largest contributor to our positive performance.
Illinois, New Jersey, and Connecticut bonds were the best-performing states in the index. While the Fund was overweight Illinois bonds, security selection was negative and the portfolio underperformed. In addition, as spreads on New Jersey paper continued to tighten over the period, we sold into the strength of the market, subsequently moving to an underweight position. As a result, the Fund’s underweight to New Jersey was also a detractor from performance. A slight overweight to Connecticut and good security selection within the state were positive for performance.
Fortunately, the Fund had a limited number of poor-performing securities. Bonds that performed poorly tended to be select prepaid gas bonds. As corporate spreads have been volatile, corporate-backed prepaid gas bond issuers have found the strong technical backdrop of the municipal market an attractive alternative to issuing debt over the period. As the market tried to digest increased issuance in specific names, we saw spreads on existing issues widen slightly, thus underperforming.
As the expansion appears to be in the rearview mirror, a transition away from risk may be warranted.
The economic expansion started in June 2009 and is the longest since the Great Depression. Low-quality bonds and equities have generally performed well. However, volatility has recently increased year to date. Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal market. We expect municipal bond valuations in the medium term to be bolstered by high state income tax rates, record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, and limited availability of gross municipal bond supply. Therefore, while the Fund currently has less interest rate exposure and more credit exposure than the benchmark, our strategy over the next 6 to 12 months will be to reduce these mismatches as we start to prepare for the next cycle.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price.
Swap contracts are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Fund’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates and is subject to interest rate risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from
Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | 45
Notes to financial statements
the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations.
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows over a specified period. Swap agreements are privately negotiated contracts between the Fund and a counterparty in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse.
For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid and any upfront fees received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the contract. The daily fluctuations in market value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on OTC swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid are recorded in the Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contract is the premium received or paid.
In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Fund’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to deposit an initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is shown as cash segregated for centrally cleared swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). The variation margin is recorded as an unrealized gain (or loss) and shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on centrally cleared swaps in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statement of Operations.
Credit default swaps
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or a basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. Credit default swaps are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the protection seller in consideration for a promise from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring).
The Fund may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. If the Fund is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, the Fund will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. If the Fund is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the Fund will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.
As the seller of protection, the Fund is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Fund could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates.
By entering into credit default swap contracts, the Fund is exposed to credit risk. In addition, certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Fund provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements.
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
46 | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements
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 June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,356,296,445 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 56,297,999 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (275,820 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 56,022,179 | |
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 fund-level 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.

48 | Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.82% for Class A shares, 1.57% for Class C shares, 0.43% for Class R6 shares, 0.68% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.48% for Institutional Class shares.

Distribution fee
The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.

Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | | | | | |
| | |
| | Net investment income | | | Net realized gains | |
| | |
Class A | | | $8,770,008 | | | | $1,271,860 | |
| | |
Class C | | | 1,173,934 | | | | 304,884 | |

Administrator Class | | | 3,668,568 | | | | 493,273 | |
| | |
Institutional Class | | | 22,770,948 | | | | 2,702,545 | |
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AND SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond 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 21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at an in-person meeting in April 2019, 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 2019. 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 received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. 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, 2018. 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 (Administrator 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 Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and other non-management fees, and Rule 12b-1 and non-Rule 12b-1 shareholder service fees. The Board considered these ratios in comparison to the median ratios of funds in class-specific expense groups that were determined by Broadridge to be similar to the Fund (the “Groups”). The Board received a description of the methodology used by Broadridge to select the mutual funds in the expense Groups and an explanation of how funds comprising expense groups and their expense ratios may vary from year-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than or in range of the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share 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 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.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-party sub-advised fund clients and non-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to the Sub-Adviser under the Sub-Advisory Agreement was reasonable.
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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability
Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | 57
Other information (unaudited)
reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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.

President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund for the12-month period that ended June 30, 2019. After the first six months of the period yielded eitherlow-single-digit or negative investment returns, stock and bond investors enjoyed a recovery during the final six months. The gains came amid continued concerns about global economic growth, international trade, geopolitical tensions, and bouts of market volatility.
For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 10.42% and international stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 rose 1.29%. The MSCI EM Index (Net)3 added 1.21%. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 added 7.87%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index5 rose 4.10%, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 gained 6.71%, and the ICE BofAML U.S. High Yield Index7 added 7.58%.
U.S. and international markets diverged during the third quarter of 2018.
Domestic equity investors received encouraging news during the third quarter of 2018. The U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis reported second-quarter annualized gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 4.2%. Hiring improved. Unemployment declined. Consumer confidence and spending increased. Third-quarter corporate earnings reports were generally positive. U.S. trade negotiations with Mexico and Canada progressed. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) raised the federal funds rate by 25 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) to a target range of between 2.00% and 2.25% in September, one of four rate increases implemented during 2018, expressing confidence in the strength of the U.S. economic expansion’s durability.
Investors in international markets were not as confident. Tensions between the U.S. and China increased. The U.S. imposed $200 billion in tariffs on Chinese goods. China reacted with $60 billion in tariffs on U.S. goods. Economic growth in China caused concern. During the quarter, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 0.71%. The MSCI EM Index (Net) declined 1.09%. In fixed-income markets, U.S. bonds were flat, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index fell 1.74%.

Global markets suffered during the fourth quarter of 2018.
November’s U.S. midterm elections shifted control of the House of Representatives from Republicans to Democrats, presaging partisan clashes that followed and caused uncertainty among investors. Third-quarter U.S. GDP was announced at an annualized 3.4% rate, lower than the second-quarter rate. Brexit efforts stalled ahead of the March 2019 deadline. The People’s Bank of China cut reserve requirement ratios, accelerated infrastructure spending, and cut taxes even as the value of the yuan declined to low levels last seen in 2008. A partial U.S. government shutdown driven by partisan policy disputes extended into January.
The combination of news in the U.S. and generally weak economic indicators outside of the U.S. caused investors to seek safe havens. December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931. Globally, fixed-income investments fared better than stocks during the last two months of the year. The Fed increased the federal funds rate by 25 bps in December to a target range of between 2.25% and 2.50%.
The market climbs a wall of worry.
Investors entered 2019 with reasons to be concerned. Investment returns appeared to reaffirm the adage that markets climb a wall of worry. The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years. Returns for the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, and the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregateex-USD Index also were positive. The Fed indicated that it would pause its program of regular rate increases during 2019 as inflation remained low.
In February 2019, concerns over slowing global growth persisted. The Bureau of Economic Analysis announced fourth-quarter 2018 GDP grew at an annualized 2.2% rate, down from the levels of the prior two quarters. In a February report, the Bank of England forecast the slowest growth since the financial crisis for 2019. China and the U.S. continued to wrangle over trade issues.
By the end of March 2019, the combination of dovish Fed sentiment and steady, if not spectacular, economic and business metrics reinforced investors’ confidence. Monthly job creation data and corporate profits, while less consistent than during 2018, were solid. China announced a roughly $300 billion stimulus package through tax and fee cuts intended to reinvigorate economic growth.
During April 2019, investors drew confidence from favorable economic projections, sustained low inflation, and solid employment data. First-quarter GDP showed the economy grew at an annualized rate of 3.2% on improvement in business investment and exports. Favorable sentiment extended to foreign markets as the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) gained 2.64% and the MSCI EM Index (Net) added 2.11% for the month.
During May 2019, investing signals were mixed. In the U.S., partisan wrangling ramped up as Democrats and Republicans set their sights on 2020 presidential politics. The U.K.’s Brexit caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on products from China, China responded, and then talks broke down. President Donald Trump threatened to turn his foreign policy tariff tool to Mexico over immigration issues. Markets tumbled.
As had been the case during most of 2019 to date, just as the investment horizon appeared to darken, sentiment turned and markets gained. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, drove equity markets to new highs. President Trump dropped his threats of new tariffs on Mexico after talks and further tariffs on China after meeting with China’s President Xi Jinping at theG-20 summit. President Mario Draghi of the European Central Bank said that if the outlook doesn’t
“December’s S&P 500 Index performance was the worst since 1931.”
“The S&P 500 Index gained 8.01% for the month of January, the best monthly performance in 30 years.”

improve, the bank will cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation. In the U.S., the Fed said growth shifted from “solid” to “moderate” and indicated a willingness to cut rates.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Currentmonth-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
For Class A shares, the maximumfront-end sales charge is 4.50%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R6, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without afront-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund (Class A, excluding sales charges) outperformed its primary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for the year that ended June 30, 2019. The Fund (Class A, excluding sales charges) underperformed its secondary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index, over the same period. |
∎ | | Our conservative duration and yield-curve positioning relative to the benchmark were positive contributors. We started the period close to neutral and extended duration in early 2019 prior to the significant rally in rates. Security selection and credit positioning contributed to performance. High-yield credit spreads tightened across the board over the course of the year. |
∎ | | Security selection was the biggest driver of performance, and our overweight to selected high-yield bonds was accretive to returns. These bonds continued to benefit from strong technicals and demand from investors for higher-yielding municipal paper. |
∎ | | An overweight toBB-rated bonds andout-of-benchmark nonrated bonds were positive contributors to relative performance. The Fund’s more conservative credit positioning contributed to lower volatility but also was a detractor against the secondary benchmark performance asnon-investment-grade and lower-rated bonds performed the best. |

Effective maturity distribution as of June 30, 20197 |
|
 |
The Fed abruptly changed course from raising rates to a potential rate cut over the period.
Throughout most of 2018, the fixed-income markets expected the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) to continue the path to normalize monetary policy. Moderate economic growth, stronger employment data, and inflation near its 2% target enabled the Fed to increase the federal funds rate four times in the calendar year. Despite a Fed rate hike in December, the Treasury market rallied in the fourth quarter of 2018 as the market lowered expectations for further rate hikes amid slower global growth, trade tariffs, and uncertainty concerning Britain’s departure from the
European Union. These concerns only increased as we moved into the first half of 2019, and discussions changed from when the Fed might hike to when it might cut the federal funds rate. As a result, fixed-income markets rallied, pushing the benchmark10-year Treasury yield from a 3.23% peak in November 2018 to 2.00% by the end of June 2019.
Specific to the municipal bond market, the beginning of the reporting period was marked with significant outflows due to a generalrisk-on sentiment in equity markets and the fear of rising interest rates. As the calendar turned, so did market sentiment. Flows into municipal mutual funds not only turned positive, but record inflows were reported as investor opinion toward fixed income, particularly municipals, improved due to investor expectations that interest rates would remain stable. Whilenew-issue supply was higher than it was a year earlier, it was still much lower than a typical year due to tax reform that eliminated the ability of issuers to advance refund outstanding, higher-cost debt on atax-exempt basis. Technicals drove the market as overall reduced supply, state and local sales tax caps for individuals, and lower interest rates fueled demand and thus returns for municipal bonds over the period.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20198 |
|
 |
Security selection and credit positioning were the strongest performance drivers for the Fund.
Yield-curve positioning, particularly among20-year and longer bonds, was accretive to performance. Sector allocation also aided performance, while conservative duration positioning was somewhat offset by security selection. The largest individual contributors to performance included local Illinois general obligation (GO) bonds, New Jersey appropriation bonds, gas bonds, and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue (IDR/PCR) project finance bonds. Detractors from performance were relatively few and small in size, including a distressed
hospital bond we sold and a bond issued by a financially weaker private school.
Demand for income remained strong during the period, as overall interest rates remained low by historical standards. This demand combined with positive fund flows, low supply, and slowing but steady economic growth fueled demand for high-yield bonds, which generally outperformed bonds in other rating categories. The Fund was overweight these rating categories and benefited as prices rose. We actively traded new issues, particularly in the IDR/PCR sector.
As the year progressed, we became increasingly cautious as spreads for lower-investment-grade and high-yield bonds continued to tighten. Again, while overall yields are very low in the high-yield universe, we have been seeing more signs of weakness in certain sectors of the market. Multifamily housing has seen a number of defaults over the past year, and there have been growing concerns about appropriation debt after a city in Missouri failed to appropriate for a shopping center issue over the past year. We have seen an increase in initial defaults in the Continuing Care Retirement Community space as well. We have largely been able to avoid these pitfalls through careful security selection.
Duration was a contributor to performance versus the primary benchmark but was a detractor from performance versus the secondary benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays High Yield Municipal Bond Index. We started the period with a neutral duration position and extended duration in the first part of 2019 prior to the significant rally in rates. We let duration drift in toward the end of the period and ended slightly longer than the primary benchmark. We continued to be conservatively positioned relative to the secondary index as the period ended.
We remain underweight state GO bonds but have an overweight to local GO bonds, which were some of our better-performing issues for the year, especially those in lower-rated Illinois and New Jersey complexes. We remain overweight hospitals compared with the primary index, yet we remain underweight the sector versus the secondary index. Against both indices, we outperformed in the sector due to security selection. In IDR/PCRs, we saw a similar story, with an overweight compared with the primary index but an underweight compared with the secondary index. Again, credit and security selection led to outperformance against both indices. Our lack of exposure to Puerto Rico led to sector underperformance in GOs versus the high-yield GO sector as well as water and sewer, with Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority bonds rallying as the issuer moves closer to a potential restructuring. We would also note that Puerto Rico Corporación del Fondo de Interés Apremiante bonds performed in line with the secondary index. Our overweight to alternative minimum tax bonds was accretive to performance versus both indices.
As the expansion appears to be in the rearview mirror, a transition away from risk may be warranted.
The economic expansion started in June 2009 and is the longest since the Great Depression.Low-quality bonds and equities have performed well with both near records—highs on stocks andrecord-low yields for bonds. We believe we are late cycle, and although economic strength remains, the trend is negative and we expect growth to slow throughout the rest of the year. Our base case does not include a recession but rather suboptimal growth with little risk of an upside surprise to inflation at this point. Global economic growth is anemic at best, with trade issues and Brexit concerns adding to a weakening economic environment. Fed rhetoric is dovish, and as of June 30, 2019, the bond market was pricing in multiple rate cuts byyear-end, the effect of which would likely serve to inflate asset prices rather than provide any real economic stimulus. Slow economic growth bodes well for bonds but not necessarily credit spreads, as slower economic growth typically weighs on credit quality.

Performance highlights (unaudited)
Overall, technicals remain strong in the municipal bond market. Bond valuations in the medium term are supported by strong technicals, such as record levels of municipal debt maturities and calls, limited availability of gross municipal bond supply, and continued flows into the asset class. The Fund is structured for a slower-growth environment, with duration close to neutral and curve positioning based largely on a key rate structure as we transition to a rate-cutting cycle. We expect to maintain the Fund’s conservative positions in terms of credit and duration relative to the secondary index.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution(12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of thesix-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the 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.
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 aremarked-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 onnon-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 fromnon-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 theex-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.

Notes to financial statements
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable andtax-exempt income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $125,733,370 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 7,654,748 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (64,004 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized gains | | $ | 7,590,744 | |
As of June 30, 2019, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $432,834 in long-term capital losses.
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 fund-level 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through October 31, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.80% for Class A shares, 1.55% for Class C shares, 0.50% for Class R6 shares, 0.70% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.55% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule17a-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 $17,150,000 and $24,920,000 in interfund purchases and sales, respectively, during the year ended June 30, 2019.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the year ended June 30, 2019 were $36,378,908 and $23,891,246, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the year ended June 30, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
The tax character of distributions paid was $4,884,891 and $4,902,804 of tax-exempt income for the years ended June 30, 2019 and June 30, 2018, respectively.
As of June 30, 2019, the components of distributable earnings on a tax basis were as follows:
| | | | |
Undistributed tax-exempt income | | Unrealized gains | | Capital loss carryforward |
| | |
$21,651 | | $7,590,744 | | $(432,834) |
Effective for all filings after November 4, 2018, the Securities and Exchange Commission eliminated the requirement to separately state the components of distributions to shareholders under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The amounts of distributions to shareholders for the year ended June 30, 2018 were as follows:
| | | | |
| |
| | Net investment income | |
| |
Class A | | $ | 674,381 | |
| |
Class C | | | 262,165 | |
| |
Administrator Class | | | 900,885 | |
| |
Institutional Class | | | 3,065,373 | |

Notes to financial statements
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
9. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”)No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820)Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.
In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08,Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at anin-person meeting held on May21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management andsub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund(the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); and (ii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement (the“Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (the“Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Funds Management. The Management Agreement and theSub-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 theSub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 asub-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 theSub-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 2019. 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 theSub-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 wasall-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-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 afund-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 theSub-Adviser, and a description of Funds Management’s and theSub-Adviser’s business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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, 2018. 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 (Administrator 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 Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index, for all periods under review.
The Board also received and considered information regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and othernon-management fees, and Rule12b-1 andnon-Rule12b-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 fromyear-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s investment performance and expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding tore-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management andsub-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 andsub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investmentsub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to theSub-Adviser for investmentsub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than or equal to the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after payment of the fee to theSub-Adviser forsub-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 theSub-Adviser, and about Funds Management’son-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and theSub-Adviser, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and theSub-Adviser to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-partysub-advised fund clients andnon-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to theSub-Adviser under theSub-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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that theSub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family was subsumed in the WFAM and Wells Fargo profitability analysis.
Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | 41
Other information (unaudited)
Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on afund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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 theSub-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 theSub-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 andsub-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 theSub-Adviser, fees earned by Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.

* | Total return differs from the return in the Financial Highlights in this report. The total return presented is calculated based on the NAV at which the shareholder transactions were processed. The NAV and total return presented in the Financial Highlights reflects certain adjustments made to the net assets of the Fund that are necessary under U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. |
** | Return is based on Fund’s inception date. |
Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Currentmonth-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wfam.com.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Class R6 and Institutional Class shares are sold without afront-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
Alternative risk premia investment risk is the Fund’s ability to achieve its investment objective depending largely upon the portfolio managers’ successful evaluation of the risks, potential returns, and correlation properties with respect to the various risk premia in which the Fund invests. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates.Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of leverage results in certain risks, including, among others, the likelihood of greater volatility of net asset value and the market value of common shares. Short selling is generally considered speculative, has the potential for unlimited loss, and may involve leverage. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to subsidiary risk and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

MANAGERS’ DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
∎ | | The Fund underperformed its benchmark, ICE BofAML U.S.3-Month Treasury Bill Index, for the5-month period from the Fund’s inception on January 29, 2019, through June 30, 2019. |
∎ | | Top detractors included our equity multifactor strategy(-2.3%) and rates value strategy(-1.2%), which suffered as investors continued chasing expensive securities. |
∎ | | Top contributors included our cross-asset trend strategy (+2.6%) and foreign exchange (FX) carry strategy (+0.6%), both of which benefited from excess liquidity in the market and dovish central banks. |
Equity markets enjoyed a strong rebound.
Equity markets enjoyed a strong rebound following thesell-off duringliquidity-dry December last year. In the first six months of 2019, the MSCI ACWI Index (Net)6 delivered 16% (in local currencies), both the S&P 500 Index7 and the Euro Stoxx 508 rallied by 18%, and the MSCI EM Index (Net)9 returned 10.58% (in U.S. dollars). This widespread return of risk appetite was supported by more cautious and accommodative central banks across the globe as well as investors’ optimism that trade tension can be resolved in an ordered manner despite the backdrop of falling global economic activity data andon-and-off idiosyncratic events indicating that geopolitical risks are not completely off the table.
The Fund was launched at the end of January. The Fund’s portfolio managers seek to maintain low correlations with stock and bond investments while producing a positive return over a 3 to 5 year period with a target of 8% to 10% annualized Fund volatility. The Fund aims to harvest alternative risk premia such as carry, value and momentum, in a systematic way across different asset classes. With the macroeconomic backdrop in the first half of 2019, the Fund declined 2.6% within the first five months, trailing the benchmark for the same period.
Market trends caused the Fund to underperform the benchmark.
The strong investment market rebound in the first half of 2019 caused some of the Fund’s tactical strategies to detract from Fund performance. One of the Fund’s allocations that suffered was the equity multifactor strategy. The struggle for small size and value factors continued to surprise investors.Mega-cap technology stocks such as Apple Inc.*; Microsoft Corp.*; Facebook, Inc.*; Amazon.com, Inc.*; and Alphabet Inc.* reemerged as the dominant group of stocks, leading the charge for the recovery in the first half. This continued enthusiasm for these stocks had a negative impact on the strategy’s performance, as we have a tilt toward small size. In addition, given the fact that these stocks have expensive valuations, we are net short on all these names. Since the date of the Fund’s launch on January 29, 2019, the equity multifactor strategy detracted 230 bps (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) from overall Fund performance. Another allocation that was hurt during the first half was our rates value strategy, where the expensive markets such as Australia got even more expensive with the backdrop of sizable monthly declines in housing prices and investors’ expectations that the Reserve Bank of Australia would cut interest rates.

Our cross-asset trend strategy delivered positive performance during the period. It aims to harvest herding behavior in the market by taking long positions in assets with positive trends and shorting those with negative ones. Following the asset-price correction in the fourth quarter of 2018, it established a defensive position through a long government bond allocation established at the beginning of 2019. Therefore, it benefited when central banks turned out to be more accommodative and more patient in the current tightening cycle. The strategy also quickly started favoring equity at the end of February due to its fast responsiveness toward market movements. These two
large positions led to the contribution by the cross-asset trend strategy of roughly 260 bps at the Fund level since the Fund’s launch of January 29, 2019. Alongside the cross-asset trend strategy, another top contributor was our FX carry strategy. Using a currency carry trade, we attempt to capture the difference between the rates of a high-yielding currency and alow-yielding currency. Benign liquidity and dovish central banks are usually friends with carry trade strategies. Most of the high-yielding currencies, especially emerging market currencies such as the Indian rupee and the Russian ruble, benefited from this accommodative first-half environment. The FX carry delivered 60 bps to the Fund.

Performance highlights (unaudited)
Looking ahead, we continue to believe that these alternative risk premia strategies will deliver positive payoff. On the macro end, we believe that strategies such as FX carry will keep enjoying the accommodative liquidity in the market while others, like cross-asset trend, will continue harvesting the behavior bias such as herding and act defensively when the tide turns. In the single equity space, we view the strengths in the large names and weakness in cheap stocks as abnormal and do not believe that this is likely to persist going forward. These expensive stocks have outperformed almost without interruption in this10-year bull market, and investors may eventually pay attention to value when they realize that there is very limited remaining potential upside for these stocks.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including management 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 thesix-month period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2019 to June 30, 2019.
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.
“Hypothetical” linePlease note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs. Therefore, the 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 consolidated financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is anopen-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”)Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. INVESTMENT IN SUBSIDIARY
The Fund invests in direct or indirect investments in various derivatives, including commodity-linked derivatives, through Alt Risk Premia Special Investments (Cayman) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), a wholly owned subsidiary incorporated on October 2, 2018 under the laws of the Cayman Islands as an exempted segregated portfolio company with limited liability. As of June 30, 2019, the Subsidiary had $2,076,157 invested in securities and futures contracts representing 87.90% of its net assets. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. As of June 30, 2019, the Fund held $2,361,820 in the Subsidiary, representing 6.06% of the Fund’s net assets prior to consolidation.
The consolidated financial statements of the Fund include the financial results of the Subsidiary. The Consolidated Portfolio of Investments includes positions of the Fund and the Subsidiary and the consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Fund and the Subsidiary. Accordingly, all interfund balances and transactions between the Fund and the Subsidiary have been eliminated in consolidation.
3. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Securities valuation
All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the principal exchange or market that day, a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Fund’s Valuation Procedures.
Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).
Swaps contracts are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registeredopen-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. 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.

Notes to consolidated financial statements
Foreign currency translation
The accounting records of the Fund are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.
Forward foreign currency contracts
A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Fund enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Fund from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate andmarked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts. The Fund is subject to foreign currency risk and may be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Fund’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Fund and the counterparty.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a specified price and on a specified date. The Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates, security values, commodities, and foreign exchange rates and is subject to interest rate risk, equity price risk, commodity risk, and foreign currency risk. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Fund and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as the counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.
Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Fund’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations.
Swap contracts
Swap contracts are agreements between the Fund and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows over a specified period. Swap agreements are privately negotiated contracts between the Fund that are entered into as bilateral contracts in the OTC market (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse.
The Fund entered into OTC swaps. For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid and any upfront fees received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the contract. The daily fluctuations in market value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on OTC swaps in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid are recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Consolidated Statement of Operations equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contract is the premium received or paid.
Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund | 23
Notes to consolidated financial statements
Total return basket swaps
The Fund may enter into total return basket swap contracts to obtain exposure to a custom basket of long and short securities without owning such securities. The Fund has the ability to trade in and out of the long and short positions within the swap and receives the economic benefits and risks equivalent to direct investments in these positions. Under the terms of the contract, the Fund and the counterparty exchange periodic payments based on the total return of reference assets within a basket for a specified interest rate. Benefits and risks include capital appreciation (depreciation), corporate actions and dividends received and paid, all of which are reflected in the swap’s market value. The market value also includes interest charges and credits (“financing fees”) related to the notional values of the long and short positions and cash balances within the swap. To the extent the total return of the reference assets exceeds or falls short of the offsetting interest rate obligation, the Fund will receive a payment from, or make a payment to, the counterparty. Positions within the swap are reset periodically. During a reset, any unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on positions and accrued financing fees become available for cash settlement between the Fund and the counterparty. The amounts that are available for cash settlement are recorded as realized gains or losses on swap contracts in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. Cash settlement in and out of the swap may occur at a reset date or any other date, at the discretion of the Fund and the counterparty, over the life of the agreement. Certain swaps have no stated expiration and can be terminated by either party at any time.
The Fund is exposed to risks if the counterparty defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or in the price of the reference securities in the basket. In addition to counterparty credit risk, the Fund is subject to liquidity risk if there is no market for the contracts and is exposed to the market risk associated with the reference securities in the basket.
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 onnon-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 fromnon-accrual status.
Distributions to shareholders
Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on theex-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 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 Subsidiary is classified as a controlled foreign corporation under Subchapter N of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, the Fund is required to increase its taxable income by its share of the Subsidiary’s income. Net investment losses of the Subsidiary cannot be deducted by the Fund in the current period nor carried forward to offset taxable income in future periods.
The Fund is not subject to examination by federal and state tax authorities for taxes before 2019, the year the Fund commenced operations.
As of June 30, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $39,730,455 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
| | | | |
| |
Gross unrealized gains | | $ | 426,866 | |
| |
Gross unrealized losses | | | (439,192 | ) |
| |
Net unrealized losses | | $ | (12,326 | ) |
Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax
24 | Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund
Notes to consolidated financial statements
reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent differences causing such reclassifications are due to foreign currency transactions, net operating losses, and losses from a controlled foreign corporation. At June 30, 2019, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities:
| | |
Paid-in capital | | Total distributable earnings |
| |
$(1,719,118) | | $1,719,118 |
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level 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.
4. 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 June 30, 2019:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
| | Quoted prices (Level 1) | | | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | | | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | | | Total | |

5. 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 a management fee at the following annual rate based on the Fund’s average daily net assets:
| | |
| |
Average daily net assets | | Management fee |
| |
First $500 million | | 0.600% |
| |
Next $500 million | | 0.575 |
| |
Next $2 billion | | 0.550 |
| |
Next $2 billion | | 0.525 |
| |
Next $5 billion | | 0.490 |
| |
Over $10 billion | | 0.480 |
For the period from January 29, 2019 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 2019, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.60% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
The Subsidiary has entered into a separate advisory contract with Funds Management to manage the investment and reinvestment of its assets in conformity with its investment objectives and restrictions. Under this agreement, the Subsidiary does not pay Funds Management a fee for its services.
Funds Management has retained the services of 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”) and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited (“WFAM(I) Ltd”), each an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, serve as subadvisers to the Fund. WellsCap receives a subadvisory fee at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase. WFAM(I) Ltd receives a subadvisory fee for its asset allocation services at an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets and a fee for portfolio management services on the assets itco-manages with WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.075%. Effective August 1, 2019, Wells Fargo Asset Management (International), LLC, the existing subadviser to the Fund, had merged with WFAM(I) Ltd and WFAM(I) Ltd became the subadviser to the Fund. This transaction did not result in any changes to the services provided to the Fund or to the strategies or fees and expenses.
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 R6 | | 0.03% |
| |
Institutional Class | | 0.13 |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed management and administration fees to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Fund. 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. When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through December 4, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.62% for Class R6 shares and

Notes to consolidated financial statements
0.72% for Institutional Class shares. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.
Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain other Wells Fargo affiliates pursuant to Rule17a-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.

For certain types of derivative transactions, the Fund has entered into International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. master agreements (“ISDA Master Agreements”) or similar agreements with approved counterparties. The ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements may have requirements to deliver/deposit securities or cash to/with an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows the Fund to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearinghouse for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific forover-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between the Fund and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by counterparty, including any collateral exposure, for OTC derivatives is as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | |
Counterparty | | Gross amounts of assets in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities | | Amounts subject to netting agreements | | Collateral received | | | Net amount of assets | |

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

Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUND AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statement of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the consolidated portfolio of investments, as of June 30, 2019, the related consolidated statements of operations and changes in net assets for the period from January 29, 2019 (commencement of operations) to June 30, 2019, and the related consolidated notes (collectively, the consolidated financial statements) and the consolidated financial highlights for the period from the commencement of operations to June 30, 2019. In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of June 30, 2019, the results of its operations, the changes in its net assets, and the financial highlights for the period from the commencement of operations to June 30, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of June 30, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements and consolidated financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

BOARD CONSIDERATION OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT ANDSUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENTS:
Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia 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 andsub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at anin-person meeting held on May21-22, 2019 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management andsub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund(the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”); (ii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement with Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management; and (iii) an investmentsub-advisory agreement with Wells Fargo Asset Management (International), LLC (“WFAM International”), an affiliate of Funds Management. Thesub-advisory agreements with WellsCap and WFAM International (the“Sub-Advisers”) are collectively referred to as theSub-Advisory Agreements, and the Management Agreement andSub-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 theSub-Advisers and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at anin-person meeting in April 2019, 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 asub-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 theSub-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 2019. 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 theSub-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 wasall-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-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 afund-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 theSub-Advisers, and a description of Funds Management’s and theSub-Advisers’ business continuity planning programs and of their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity. The Board received and reviewed information about Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also considered the qualifications, background, tenure and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for theday-to-day portfolio management of the Fund.
The Board evaluated the ability of Funds Management and theSub-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 theSub-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 noted that the Fund had recently commenced operations and had no performance history to review. The Board noted that it would have the opportunity to review the Fund’s performance history in connection with the Board’s future review and approval of the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.
The Board, however, received and considered information from Broadridge Inc. (“Broadridge”) regarding the Fund’s net operating expense ratios and their various components, including actual management fees, custodian and othernon-management fees, and Rule12b-1 andnon-Rule12b-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 fromyear-to-year. Based on the Broadridge reports, the Board noted that the net operating expense ratios of the Fund were lower than the median net operating expense ratios of the expense Groups for each share class.
The Board took into account the Fund’s expense information provided to it among the factors considered in deciding tore-approve the Advisory Agreements.
Investment management andsub-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 andsub-transfer agency costs (collectively, the “Management Rates”). The Board also reviewed and considered the contractual investmentsub-advisory fee rates that are payable by Funds Management to theSub-Advisers for investmentsub-advisory services.
Among other information reviewed by the Board was a comparison of the Fund’s Management Rates with the average contractual investment management fee rates of funds in the expense Groups at a common asset level as well as transfer agency costs of the funds in the expense Groups. The Board noted that the Management Rates of the Fund were lower than the sum of these average rates for the Fund’s expense Groups for all share classes.
The Board also received and considered information about the portion of the total management fee that was retained by Funds Management after the payment of fees to each of theSub-Advisers forsub-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 theSub-Advisers, and about Funds Management’son-going oversight services. Given the affiliation between Funds Management and theSub-Advisers, the Board ascribed limited relevance to the allocation of fees between them.
The Board also received and considered information about the nature and extent of services offered and fee rates charged by Funds Management and theSub-Advisers to other types of clients with investment strategies similar to those of the Fund. In this regard, the Board received information about the significantly greater scope of services, and compliance, reporting and other legal burdens and risks of managing proprietary mutual funds compared with those associated with managing assets of other types of clients, including third-partysub-advised fund clients andnon-mutual fund clients such as institutional separate accounts.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management under the Management Agreement and to theSub-Advisers under theSub-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”) from providing services to the fund family as a whole. The Board noted that theSub-Advisers’ profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the family 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. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on afund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type and age 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 received and considered information about the potential for Funds Management to experience economies of scale in the provision of management services to the Fund, the difficulties of calculating economies of scale at an individual fund level, and the extent to which potential scale benefits are shared with shareholders. 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. The Board considered that in addition to management fee breakpoints, Funds Management shares potential economies of scale from its management business in a variety of ways, including through fee waiver and expense reimbursement arrangements, services that benefit shareholders, competitive management fee rates set at the outset without regard to breakpoints, and investments in the business intended to enhance services available to shareholders.
The Board concluded that Funds Management’s arrangements with respect to the Fund, 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 theSub-Advisers
The Board received and considered information regarding potential“fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Funds Management and its affiliates, including theSub-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 theSub-Advisers’ businesses 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 andsub-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 theSub-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 theSub-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 aone-year term and determined that the compensation payable to Funds Management and theSub-Advisers under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable.
