Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.
“After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income.”

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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. 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.

2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.80% for Class A, 1.55% for Class C, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.50% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

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. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class A | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,015.95 | $4.07 | 0.80% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.17 | $4.08 | 0.80% |
Class C | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,012.12 | $7.86 | 1.55% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,017.39 | $7.88 | 1.55% |
Administrator Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,016.14 | $3.05 | 0.60% |

Institutional Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,017.62 | $2.54 | 0.50% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.68 | $2.55 | 0.50% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | 29
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income 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 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $531,150,495 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $21,850,805 |
Gross unrealized losses | (473,643) |
Net unrealized gains | $21,377,162 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $7,970,774 in short-term capital losses and $2,043,017 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 0.15% 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $591 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $40,127,000, $38,010,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $62,709,423 and $49,547,027, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or 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. As of the end of the period, the Fund invested a concentration of its portfolio in the state of California.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years,
Wells Fargo California Limited-Term Tax-Free Fund | 33
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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 California municipal securities risk, high-yield securities risk, and nondiversification 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, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.75% for Class A, 1.50% for Class C, 0.55% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class A | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,032.31 | $3.84 | 0.75% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.42 | $3.82 | 0.75% |
Class C | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,028.89 | $7.67 | 1.50% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,017.64 | $7.63 | 1.50% |
Administrator Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,033.31 | $2.82 | 0.55% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.43 | $2.80 | 0.55% |
Institutional Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,033.67 | $2.46 | 0.48% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.79 | $2.45 | 0.48% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | 29
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a non-diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income 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 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $1,138,216,451 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $109,557,896 |
Gross unrealized losses | (20,056) |
Net unrealized gains | $109,537,840 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $28,787,467 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |

For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.38% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management, Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| Class-level administration fee |
Class A | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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 Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. A distribution fee is charged charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $11,443 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $18,180,000, $3,000,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $131,144,148 and $45,669,862, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or 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. As of the end of the period, the Fund invested a concentration of its portfolio in the state of California.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years,
Wells Fargo California Tax-Free Fund | 33
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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. 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.

8 | 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. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Wells Fargo High Yield Municipal Bond Fund | 23
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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 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.
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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $83,197,282 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $5,632,464 |
Gross unrealized losses | (342,797) |
Net unrealized gains | $5,289,667 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $46,096 in short-term capital losses and $502,345 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $ 0 | $ 83,722,732 | $0 | $ 83,722,732 |
Short-term investments | | | | |
Investment companies | 4,764,217 | 0 | 0 | 4,764,217 |
Total assets | $4,764,217 | $83,722,732 | $0 | $88,486,949 |
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

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:

Next $500 million | 0.475 |
Next $2 billion | 0.450 |
Next $2 billion | 0.425 |
Next $5 billion | 0.390 |
Over $10 billion | 0.380 |
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.50% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. 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 0.35% and declining to 0.20% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| Class-level administration fee |
Class A | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Class R6 | 0.03 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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.

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

In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $3,490 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $4,425,000, $4,425,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $13,026,560 and $13,241,809, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P.

10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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 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.

* | Mr. Venditti became a portfolio manager of the Fund on September 1, 2020. |
1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.70% for Class A, 1.45% for Class C, 0.40% for Class R6, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.45% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |
3 | Historical performance shown for the Class R6 shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the Institutional Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns for the Class R6 shares would be higher. |
4 | The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond 1–15 Year Blend Index is the 1–15 year component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's long-term investments. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/ or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.94 | $2.29 | 0.45% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | 55
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/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 income 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,021,909,727 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $167,454,525 |
Gross unrealized losses | (1,147,668) |
Net unrealized gains | $166,306,857 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $18,062,193 in short-term capital losses and $24,484,632 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $0 | $2,188,216,584 | $0 | $2,188,216,584 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.37% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to the Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management, Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to the Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.20% and declining to 0.10% as the average daily net assets of the Fund increase.
Administration fees
Under a class-level administration agreement, Funds Management provides class-level administrative services to the Fund, which includes paying fees and expenses for services provided by the transfer agent, sub-transfer agents, omnibus account servicers and record-keepers. As compensation for its services under the class-level administration agreement, Funds Management receives an annual fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each class as follows:
| Class-level administration fee |
Class A | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Class R6 | 0.03 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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. 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 charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $3,024 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $200,135,000, $332,022,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $181,225,446 and $547,014,771, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the
Wells Fargo Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund | 59
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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.

2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.85% for Class A, 1.60% for Class C, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.52% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class A | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,025.12 | $4.34 | 0.85% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,020.92 | $4.33 | 0.85% |
Class C | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,021.23 | $8.15 | 1.60% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,017.14 | $8.13 | 1.60% |
Administrator Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,026.40 | $3.06 | 0.60% |

Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.58 | $2.65 | 0.52% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $162,043,708 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $9,775,955 |
Gross unrealized losses | (260,788) |
Net unrealized gains | $9,515,167 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $10,530 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $0 | $171,558,875 | $0 | $171,558,875 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $205 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $2,000,000, $0 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $5,226,450 and $8,241,386, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or 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. As of the end of the period, the Fund invested a concentration of its portfolio in the state of Minnesota.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years,
Wells Fargo Minnesota Tax-Free Fund | 25
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.75% for Class A, 1.50% for Class C, 0.40% for Class R6, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.45% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

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

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $5,051,042,648 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $406,305,790 |
Gross unrealized losses | (7,541,036) |
Net unrealized gains | $398,764,754 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had current year net deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $46,493,296 in short-term losses and $5,605,214 in long-term capital losses which were recognized in the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common 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 December 31, 2020:
| 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.34% 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Class R6 | 0.03 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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, 0.40% for Class R6 shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.45% 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. Prior to November 1, 2020, the Fund's expenses were capped at 0.43% for Class R6 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. A distribution fee is charged charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $8,233 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $283,995,000, $286,440,060 and $(2,940) in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $340,249,819 and $926,879,635, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P.

As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company.

The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Municipal Sustainability Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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. 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. 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. Investing in environmental, social, and governance (ESG) carries the risk that, under certain market conditions, the investments may underperform products that invest in a broader array of investments. In addition, some ESG investments may be dependent on government tax incentives and subsidies and on political support for certain environmental technologies and companies. The ESG sector also may have challenges such as a limited number of issuers and liquidity in the market, including a robust secondary market. Investing primarily in responsible investments carries the risk that, under certain market conditions, an investment may underperform funds that do not use a responsible investment strategy. The Fund is exposed to municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.75% for Class A, 1.50% for Class C, 0.40% for Class R6, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.45% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

4 | Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's long-term investments. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
5 | 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. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |

1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Municipal Sustainability 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 income 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 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 fiscal years since commencement of operations are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $24,482,359 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $1,384,602 |
Gross unrealized losses | 0 |
Net unrealized gains | $1,384,602 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $378,568 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $ 0 | $ 25,734,238 | $0 | $ 25,734,238 |
Short-term investments | | | | |
Investment companies | 132,723 | 0 | 0 | 132,723 |
Total assets | $132,723 | $25,734,238 | $0 | $25,866,961 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Class R6 | 0.03 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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, 0.40% for Class R6 shares, 0.60% for Administrator Class shares, and 0.45% 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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 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. Funds Distributor did not receive any front-end or contingent deferred sales charges from Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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 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 $0, $1,003,810 and $890 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $2,466,624 and $2,203,560, respectively.
6. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
7. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
8. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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 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.

1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.74% for Class A, 1.49% for Class C, and 0.49% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

4 | The Bloomberg Barclays Pennsylvania Municipal Bond Index is a Pennsylvania-specific total return index. The index is composed of Pennsylvania bonds. The bonds are all investment-grade, fixed-rate, long-term maturities (greater than two years) and are selected from issues larger than $50 million dated since January 1984. Bonds are added to the index and weighted and updated monthly, with a one-month lag. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's long-term investments. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
6 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/ or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class A | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,028.17 | $3.78 | 0.74% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.48 | $3.77 | 0.74% |
Class C | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,023.44 | $7.60 | 1.49% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,017.69 | $7.58 | 1.49% |
Institutional Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,029.45 | $2.51 | 0.49% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.74 | $2.50 | 0.49% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income 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 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable 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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $119,126,242 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $9,638,220 |
Gross unrealized losses | (122,601) |
Net unrealized gains | $9,515,619 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $732,081 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $ 0 | $ 126,867,896 | $0 | $ 126,867,896 |
Short-term investments | | | | |
Investment companies | 1,773,965 | 0 | 0 | 1,773,965 |
Total assets | $1,773,965 | $126,867,896 | $0 | $128,641,861 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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
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 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.
20 | Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $737 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Class C shares 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.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $9,885,544 and $14,186,751, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or 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. As of the end of the period, the Fund invested a concentration of its portfolio in the state of Pennsylvania.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the
Wells Fargo Pennsylvania Tax-Free Fund | 21
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | 1
Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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.

1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.63% for Class A, 1.38% for Class C, 0.35% for Class R6, 0.60% for Administrator Class, and 0.40% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

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

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund | 49
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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 a specified price 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 and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to
50 | Wells Fargo Short-Term Municipal Bond Fund
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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.
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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,664,002,720 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $63,350,041 |
Gross unrealized losses | (3,762,074) |
Net unrealized gains | $59,587,967 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $4,358,707 in short-term capital losses and $49,074,399 in long-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Closed end municipal bond fund obligations | $ 0 | $ 24,400,000 | $0 | $ 24,400,000 |
Municipal obligations | 0 | 2,668,050,087 | 0 | 2,668,050,087 |
Short-term investments | | | | |
Investment companies | 31,140,600 | 0 | 0 | 31,140,600 |
Total assets | $31,140,600 | $2,692,450,087 | $0 | $2,723,590,687 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
9. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P.

As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
10. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles.

We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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.

1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.81% for Class A, 1.56% for Class C, 0.43% for Class R6, 0.68% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |
3 | Historical performance shown for the Class R6 shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares, and includes the higher expenses applicable to the Institutional Class shares. If these expenses had not been included, returns for the Class R6 shares would be higher. |

If these expenses had not been included, returns for the Institutional Class shares would be higher. |
5 | The Bloomberg Barclays Short-Intermediate Municipal Bond Index is a rules-based, market-value-weighted index composed of publicly traded municipal bonds that cover the U.S. dollar–denominated short-term tax-exempt bond market, including state and local general obligation bonds, revenue bonds, insured bonds, and prefunded bonds. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
6 | Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's long-term investments. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/ or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |

1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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 a specified price 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 and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Fund fail to
Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | 59
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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.
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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,749,277,998 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $113,886,357 |
Gross unrealized losses | (2,785,860) |
Net unrealized gains | $111,100,497 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $8,424,845 in short-term capital losses and $2,167,133 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Closed end municipal bond fund obligations | $ 0 | $ 20,000,000 | $0 | $ 20,000,000 |

Short-term investments | | | | |
Investment companies | 62,116,925 | 0 | 0 | 62,116,925 |

Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

Wells Fargo Strategic Municipal Bond Fund | 61
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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.

| Class-level administration fee |
Class A | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Class R6 | 0.03 |
Administrator Class | 0.10 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.81% for Class A shares, 1.56% for Class C shares, 0.43% for Class R6 shares, 0.68% 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 charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $10,227 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
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.

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 $340,122,060, $35,915,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

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 $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (expected to be extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
The Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by the Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. The Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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 A2, 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. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.

Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories.

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 Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund | 47
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 income 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 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.
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 December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $2,325,647,590 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $10,886,565 |
Gross unrealized losses | (1,322,763) |
Net unrealized gains | $ 9,563,802 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $3,461,404 in short-term capital losses and $23,743,779 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.) |

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 $488,090,873, $337,470,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended December 31, 2020.

6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
8. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.

Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.
“After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income.”

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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 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.

* | Ms. Laurin became a portfolio manager of the Fund on September 1, 2020. |
1 | Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectuses. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report. |
2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.70% for Class A, 1.45% for Class C, and 0.52% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |
3 | Historical performance shown for the Institutional Class shares prior to their inception reflects the performance of the Class A shares, and is not adjusted to reflect the Institutional Class expenses. If these expenses had been included, returns for the Institutional Class would be higher. |
4 | The Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
5 | The Bloomberg Barclays Wisconsin Municipal Bond Index is the Wisconsin component of the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. |
6 | Figures represent the percentage of the Fund's long-term investments. These amounts are subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |
7 | The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/ or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified. |

Fund expenses (unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing fees, and other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class A | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,023.51 | $3.47 | 0.68% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.78 | $3.47 | 0.68% |
Class C | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,019.57 | $7.38 | 1.45% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,017.90 | $7.38 | 1.45% |
Institutional Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $1,024.35 | $2.65 | 0.52% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.58 | $2.65 | 0.52% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

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 income 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.
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.

Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $148,644,088 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $8,212,957 |
Gross unrealized losses | (63,001) |
Net unrealized gains | $8,149,956 |
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had current year net deferred post-October capital losses consisting of $11,591 in short-term losses which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) | Total |
Assets | | | | |
Investments in: | | | | |
Municipal obligations | $0 | $156,794,044 | $0 | $156,794,044 |
Additional sector, industry or geographic detail is included in the Portfolio of Investments.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, 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:
20 | Wells Fargo Wisconsin Tax-Free Fund
Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 | 0.16% |
Class C | 0.16 |
Institutional Class | 0.08 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 to waive fees and/ or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the Fund’s expenses at 0.70% for Class A shares, 1.45% for Class C shares and 0.52% for Institutional Class shares. 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 charged to Class C shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares.
In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares. Funds Distributor is also entitled to receive the contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class C shares. For the six months ended December 31, 2020, Funds Distributor received $3,860 from the sale of Class A shares. No contingent deferred sales charges were incurred by Class A and Class C shares for the six months ended December 31, 2020.
Shareholder servicing fees
The Trust has entered into contracts with one or more shareholder servicing agents, whereby Class A and Class C shares 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.
5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended December 31, 2020 were $6,371,672 and $7,123,384, respectively.
6. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
7. CONCENTRATION RISK
The Fund invests a substantial portion of its assets in issuers of municipal debt securities located in a single state or 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. As of the end of the period, the Fund invested a concentration of its portfolio in the state of Wisconsin.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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 PRONOUNCEMENT
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
10. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this semi-annual report for the Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund for the six-month period that ended December 31, 2020. Despite a deeply challenging year, dominated by the spread of COVID-19 cases and a sharp drop in economic output throughout much of the world, global stocks performed extremely well, benefiting from ongoing central bank support and rising optimism over the development and distribution of effective COVID-19 vaccines. Bonds also had positive returns, led by global bonds and high-yield bonds.
For the six-month period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,1 gained 22.16%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),2 returned 24.33%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net),3 had even stronger performance, with a 31.14% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index,4 returned 1.29%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged),5 gained 9.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index,6 returned 3.07% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index,7 gained a hefty 11.49%.
The stock market rally continued in July.
After a volatile first half of the year, an existing stock market rally continued in July with strong results for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter gross domestic product (GDP) shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the U.S. Federal Reserve’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations, while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced technology stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,
Andrew Owen

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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. 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.
Class R6 and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.
The investment techniques employed by the Fund create leverage. As a result, the sum of the Fund’s investment exposures will typically exceed the amount of the Fund’s net assets. These exposures may vary over time. We expect gross notional exposure of the Fund to be in a range of 400% to 1200% of the net asset value of the Fund under normal market conditions. Leverage may be significantly different (higher or lower) as deemed necessary by the investment manager. We expect net notional exposure of the Fund to be in a range of -200% to 200% of the net asset value of the Fund under normal market conditions.
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. 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.

2 | The manager has contractually committed through October 31, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.62% for Class R6 and 0.72% 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 caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, 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. |

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 the six-month period and held for the entire period from July 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020.
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. 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.
| Beginning account value 7-1-2020 | Ending account value 12-31-2020 | Expenses paid during the period1 | Annualized net expense ratio |
Class R6 | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $ 985.04 | $3.10 | 0.62% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,022.08 | $3.16 | 0.62% |
Institutional Class | | | | |
Actual | $1,000.00 | $ 983.79 | $3.60 | 0.72% |
Hypothetical (5% return before expenses) | $1,000.00 | $1,021.58 | $3.67 | 0.72% |
1 Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Consolidated notes to financial statements (unaudited)
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo 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 December 31, 2020, the Subsidiary primarily had $6,130 in variation margin receivable related to open futures contracts representing 0.09% of its net assets. The Fund is the sole shareholder of the Subsidiary. As of December 31, 2020, the Fund held $6,706,110 in the Subsidiary, representing 9.22% 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 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 income 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”).
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.
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 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. 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.

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 and marked-to-market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency 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, commodity prices and foreign exchange rates and is subject to interest rate risk, equity price risk, commodity price 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.

Consolidated notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 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 and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
The 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’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the fiscal years since commencement of operations are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed the Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of December 31, 2020, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $64,312,529 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains | $2,124,225 |
Gross unrealized losses | (646,153) |
Net unrealized gains | $1,478,072 |
Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund | 23
Consolidated notes to financial statements (unaudited)
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $2,479,978 in short-term capital losses and $112,066 in long-term capital losses.
As of June 30, 2020, the Fund had a qualified late-year ordinary loss of $11,325,293 which was recognized on the first day of the current fiscal year.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in 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 December 31, 2020:
| Quoted prices (Level 1) | Other significant observable inputs (Level 2) | Significant unobservable inpouts (level 3) | Total |

Futures contracts and forward foreign currency contracts are reported at their cumulative unrealized gains (losses) at measurement date as reported in the tables following the Consolidated Portfolio of Investments. For futures contracts, the current day’s variation margin is reported on the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities. All other assets and liabilities are reported at their market value at measurement date.
For the six months ended December 31, 2020, the Fund did not have any transfers into/out of Level 3.

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 six months ended December 31, 2020, 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 subavisers 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 it co-manages with WellsCap at an annual rate starting at 0.15% and declining to 0.075%.
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 |
Waivers and/or expense reimbursements
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, 2021 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 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.

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 for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of the Fund under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the 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 |
Goldman Sachs International | $787,369 | $(787,369) | $0 | $0 |
Wells Fargo Alternative Risk Premia Fund | 27

Goldman Sachs International | $816,026 | $(787,369) | $(28,657) | $0 |
1 | Collateral pledged within this table is limited to the collateral for the net transaction with the counterparty. |
8. BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 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 six months ended December 31, 2020, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement.
9. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Fund'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 Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’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
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 on fair value measurements in Topic 820, Fair Value Measurements. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Management has adopted this guidance which did not have a material impact on the financial statements.
11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to the Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, the Fund’s principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of the Fund’s investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement(s). The Fund’s Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of the Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
12. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC
On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business

disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.
