• Comply with all applicable Federal Securities Laws;

• Comply with all applicable laws (U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act

• (FCPA), the UK Bribery Act 2010 (Bribery Act), and other foreign laws) prohibiting bribery of government officials or other third parties;¹Adhere to all Wells Fargo Advantage Funds policies;

• Promptly report violations or suspected violations of the Code to the Compliance Department;

• Cooperate fully, honestly and in a timely manner with an Risk & Compliance Department investigation or inquiry.

1.4 Our Duties and Responsibilities to You

To help you comply with this Code, the CCO and Compliance Department will:

• Notify you in writing of the Code reporting requirements.

• Make a copy of the Code available and require certification that you have read, understand, and will abide by the Code.

• Make available a revised copy of the Code if there are any material amendments to it and require you to certify receipt and understanding of the revised Code.

• Review the Code at least once a year to assess its adequacy and effectiveness.

2. TRADINGON INSIDER INFORMATION

The law requires there to be written policies and procedures with enforcement to prevent Reporting Persons from misusing material, non-public information. FMG does this by:

• Limiting access to files likely to contain non-public information,

• Restricting or monitoring trades, including trades in securities about you might have non-public information, and

June, 2013 2 Code of Ethics

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

2.1 What is Insider Trading?

WARNING! Insider trading is illegal. You could go to prison or be forced to pay a large fine for participating in insider trading. Wells Fargo could also be fined for your actions. Insider trading is generally defined as occurring when a person has possession of material, non-public information about an issuer and engages in a Personal Securities Transaction involving securities issued by the issuer, or discloses the information to others who then trade in the issuer’s securities.   Information is considered material if there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonable investor would consider it important in deciding how to act. Information is considered non-public when it has not been made available to investors generally. Information becomes public once it is publicly disseminated. Limited disclosure does not make the information public (for example, if an insider makes information available to a select group of individuals, it is not public).

Examples of illegal and prohibited insider trading and related activity include, but are not limited to, the following:

• Tipping of material, non-public information is illegal and prohibited. Tipping occurs when non-public information about an issuer is given to someone else who then trades in securities of the issuer.

• Front running is illegal and prohibited. Front running is trading ahead of an Account in the same or equivalent security (such as options) in order to make a profit or to avoid a loss.

• Scalping is illegal and prohibited. Scalping is purchasing or selling a security (or an equivalent security) for a personal account prior to a recommend/buy or recommend/sell that security or equivalent for an Account.

2.2 Using Non-Public Information about an Account or our Advisory Activities

You may not:

• Share with any other person (unless permitted or required by law, it’s necessary to carry out duties and appropriate confidentiality protections are in place, as necessary) any non-public information about an Account, including:

•       Any securities holdings or transactions of an Account;

•       Any securities recommendation made to an Account;

•       Any securities transaction (or transaction under consideration) by an Account, including   information about actual or contemplated investment decisions;

•       Any changes to portfolio management teams of Reportable Funds;

•       any information about planned mergers or liquidations of Reportable Funds; and

•       Any Management Valuation Team proceedings and plans for future actions (either through   attendance at, or receipt of the output from, such proceedings).

• Use any non-public information regarding an Account in any way that might compete with, or be contrary to, the interest of such Account.

• Use any non-public information regarding an Account in any way for personal gain.

NOTE: Registered Representatives of the Distributor may have other requirements and limitations set forth in the Written Supervisory Procedures.

3. PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

3.1 Avoid Conflicts of Interest

When engaging in Personal Securities Transactions, there might be conflicts between the interests of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds and your personal interests. Any conflicts that arise in such Personal Securities Transactions must be resolved in a manner that does not inappropriately benefit you or adversely affect the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds or their shareholders. You shall always place the financial and business interests of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds before your own personal financial and business interests.

Examples of inappropriate resolutions of conflicts are:

• Taking an investment opportunity away from a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund to benefit a portfolio of which you have Beneficial Ownership;

• Using your position to take advantage of available investments;

• Front running a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund by trading in securities (or equivalent securities) ahead of a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund;

• Taking advantage of information or using Wells Fargo Advantage Fund portfolio assets to affect the market in a way that personally benefits you or a portfolio of which you have Beneficial Ownership;

• Any other behavior determined by the CCO to be or have the appearance of a conflict

• All natural persons in a control relationship with a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund who obtain information concerning recommendations made to a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund with regard to the purchase or sale of a Security by a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund; or

3.3 Reporting Personal Securities Transactions

Generally, all Reporting Persons must report all Personal Securities Accounts, along with the holdings and transactions of Reportable Securities in those accounts. Personal Securities Accounts include those accounts of Immediate Family Members and accounts in which Reporting Persons are a Beneficial Owner. There are three types of reports: (1) an initial holdings report that is filed upon becoming a Reporting Person, (2) a quarterly transaction report, and (3) an annual holdings report.

Each broker-dealer, bank, or fund company where you have a Personal Securities Account must receive a request for the Risk & Compliance Department to receive all account statements and confirmations from such accounts.¹ The Code Team will make this request on behalf of the Reporting Person after the accounts are disclosed.

1. Initial Holdings Report. Within 10 days of becoming a Reporting Person:

• All Personal Securities Accounts, including broker name and account number information must be reported to the Code of Ethics team via the Transaction Monitoring System (“TMS”).

2. Quarterly Transactions Reports. Within 30 days of calendar quarter end:

3.5 Reports of the CCO

Any personal Securities holdings and transaction reports required to be filed by a CCO must be submitted to an alternate designee who will fulfill the duties of the CCO with respect to those reports.

Information will be reviewed by members of the Risk & Compliance Department and possibly our senior executives or legal counsel. Data may be provided to Reportable Fund officers and trustees, and will be provided to government authorities upon request or others if required to do so by law or court order.

3.7 Exceptions to Reporting

Independent Trustee Reporting Exceptions: If you are an Independent Trustee², you are exempt from initial and annual holdings reports described in Section 2.3 above and may be exempt from transaction reports based on limited access to information about portfolio management activities. In lieu of the initial holdings reports, you must certify upon receiving the Code (or any new copy of a revised Code pursuant to Section 1.3 above) that you acknowledge that you are a Non-Reporting Person subject to the Code and are not required to submit an initial holdings report.

You are not required to submit quarterly transaction reports, unless you knew at the time of the transaction, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling your official duties as trustee should have known,³ that, during the 15-day period immediately preceding or following the date of such transaction, the same security was purchased or sold by the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds (or any series thereof), or was being considered for purchase or sale by the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds (or any series thereof) or by an investment adviser or investment sub-adviser thereto.

²  Defined as a trustee of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds who is not an “interested person” of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds within the meaning of section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act. An Advisory Board Member who is not an “interested person” of the Wells Fargo Advantage Funds within the meaning of section 2(a)(19) of the 1940 Act will be treated as an Independent Trustee solely for purposes of this Code.

³  The “should have known” standard does not:

• imply a duty of inquiry;

• presume I should have deduced or extrapolated from the discussions or memoranda dealing with the Wells Fargo Advantage Fund’s investment strategies; or

• impute knowledge from my awareness of a Wells Fargo Advantage Fund’s holdings, market considerations, or investment policies, objectives and restrictions.

June, 2013 6 Code of Ethics

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

4.2 How to Pre-Clear Personal Securities Transactions

Reporting Persons must follow the steps below to pre-clear trades:

	1.	Request Authorization. Authorization for a transaction that requires pre-clearance must be entered using the Code of Ethics Transaction Monitoring System (“TMS”). Email requests to coe@wellsfargo.com will only be accepted for those reporting persons who are on formal leave of absence or on PTO. Reporting Persons may only request pre-clearance for market orders or same day limit orders. Verbal pre-clearance requests are not permitted.
Remember! Don’t place an order with your broker until you receive written approval to make the trade.	2.	Have The Request Reviewed and Approved. After receiving the electronic request, the TMS will notify the Reporting person if the trade has been approved or denied.
	3.	Trading in Foreign Markets. Request for pre-clearance in foreign markets that have already closed for the day may be given approval to trade for the following day because of time considerations. Approval will only be good for that following business day in that local foreign market.
	4.	Approval of Transactions
		•    The Request May be Refused. The Code Administrator or Manager may refuse to authorize your Personal Securities Transaction and need not give you an explanation for the refusal. Reasons for refusing your Personal Securities Transactions may be confidential.
		•    Authorizations Expire. Any transaction approved by the TMS or the Code Team is effective until the close of business of the same trading day for which the authorization is granted (unless the approval is revoked earlier). If the order for the transaction is not executed within that period, you must obtain a new advance authorization before placing your trade.

4.3 Trading Restrictions and Prohibitions

All Reporting Persons must comply with the following trading restrictions and prohibitions:

• 60-Day Holding Period for Reportable Fund Shares (open-end and closed-end)

Reporting Persons are required to hold shares purchased of most of the Reportable Funds for 60 days. This restriction applies without regard to tax lot considerations. Reporting Persons are required to hold the shares from the date of the most recent purchase for 60 days. If it is necessary to sell Reportable Fund shares before the 60-day holding period has passed, Reporting Persons must obtain advance written approval from the CCO or a Code of Ethics Compliance Officer. The 60-day holding period does not apply to transactions pursuant to Automatic Investment Plans. The 60 day Holding Period does not apply to the Adjustable Rate Government Fund, Conservative Income Fund, Ultra Short-Term Income Fund, Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund and the money market funds. This restriction does apply to an Independent Trustee’s trades of Wells Fargo Advantage Fund shares.

• Reporting Persons’ trades are subject to open order restriction

You cannot purchase or sell securities on any day during which an Account has a pending “buy” or “sell” order in for the same security (or equivalent security) of which the Risk & Compliance Department is aware until that order is withdrawn.

June, 2013 9 Code of Ethics

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

• Reporting Persons’ trades are subject to a 15-day blackout restriction

There is a “15-day blackout” on purchases or sales of securities bought or sold by an Account. This means that you may not buy or sell a security (or equivalent security) during the 7-day periods immediately preceding and immediately following the date the Account trades in the security (“blackout security”). During the blackout period, activity will be monitored by the Code Team or the Code Administrator and any Personal Securities Transactions during a blackout window will be evaluated and investigated based on each situation. Penalties may range from no action to potential disgorgement of profits or payment of avoided losses (see Section 6 for Code violations and penalties). During a blackout period, purchases of a blackout security may be subject to mandatory divestment. Similarly, during a blackout period, sales of a blackout security may be subject to mandatory repurchase.

In the case of a purchase and subsequent mandatory divestment at a higher price, any profits derived upon divestment may be subject to disgorgement; disgorged profits will be donated to the Reporting Person’s charity of choice. In the case of a sale and subsequent mandatory repurchase at a lower price, the Reporting Person may be required to make up any avoided losses, as measured by the difference between the repurchase price and the price at which the security was sold; such avoided losses will be donated to the Reporting Person’s charity of choice.

For example, if an Account trades in a blackout security on July 7, July 15 (the 8th day following the trade date) would be the 1st day Reporting Persons may engage in a Personal Securities Transaction involving that security, and any purchases and sales in the blackout security made on or after June 30 through July 14 could be subject to divestment or repurchase. Purchases and sales in the security made on or before June 29 (the 8th day before the trade date) would not be within the blackout period.

• De minimis exception

There is a De minimis exception to the restrictions described in 4.3.2, and 4.3.3 above (Open Order and Blackout). Reporting Persons may purchase and sell Large Capitalization Securities of up to $25,000, unless this conflicts with the 60-day short- term profit restriction described in section 4.4. The De minimis exception does not apply to options.

• IPOs

Reporting Persons are prohibited from purchasing shares in an Initial Public Offering. Reporting Persons must get written approval from the Code Administrator before selling shares that were acquired in an IPO prior to starting work with Wells Fargo. Reporting Persons may, subject to pre-clearance requirements, purchase shares in a Private Placement as long as the position will be less than a 10% interest in the issuer.

• WFC Derivatives

You may not invest or engage in derivative or hedging transactions involving securities issued by Wells Fargo & Co, including but not limited to options contracts (other than employee stock options), puts, calls, short sales, futures contracts, or other similar transactions regardless of whether you have material inside information.”

• Wells Fargo Advantage Fund Closed End Funds

You may not participate in a tender offer made by a closed-end Wells Fargo Advantage Fund under the terms of which the number of shares to be purchased is limited to less than all of the outstanding shares of such closed-end Wells Fargo Advantage Fund.

June, 2013 10 Code of Ethics

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

• No Reporting Person may purchase or sell shares of any closed-end Wells Fargo Advantage Fund within 60 days of the later of

• (i) the initial closing of the issuance of shares of such fund or

• (ii) the final closing of the issuance of shares in connection with an overallotment option.

• Reporting Persons may purchase or sell shares of closed-end Wells Fargo Advantage Funds only during the 10-day period following the release of portfolio holdings information to the public for such fund, which typically occurs on or about the 15th day following the end of each calendar quarter. Certain Reporting Persons, who shall be notified by the Legal Department, are required to make filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission in connection with purchases and sales of shares of closed-end Wells Fargo Advantage Funds.

• Investment Clubs

Reporting Persons may not participate in the activities of an Investment Club without the prior approval from the Code Administrator. If applicable, trades for an Investment Club would need to be pre-cleared.

• Personal Transactions

Reporting Persons are prohibited from executing or processing through a Covered Company’s direct access software (TA2000 or any other similar software):

• Reporting Persons’ own personal transactions,

• Transactions for Immediate Family Members, or

• Transactions for accounts of other persons for which the Reporting Person or his immediate Family Member have been given investment discretion.

This provision does not exclude you from trading directly with a broker/dealer or using a broker/dealer’s software. The foregoing also does not prohibit you from executing or processing transactions in Wells Fargo & Co. securities granted to you as compensation through an online program designated by Wells Fargo & Co. for such purpose.

• Intention to Buy or Sell for Accounts

Reporting Persons are prohibited from buying or selling securities when they intend, or know of another’s intention, to purchase or sell that security (or an equivalent security) for an Account. This prohibition applies whether the Personal Securities Transaction is in the same direction (e.g., two purchases or two sales) or the opposite direction (e.g., a purchase and sale) as the transaction for the Account.

• Reporting Persons must not attempt to manipulate the market

Reporting Persons must not execute any transactions intended to raise, lower, or maintain the price of any security or to create a false appearance of active trading.

• Excessive Trading

Excessive Trading for Personal Securities Accounts is strongly discouraged and Personal Securities Accounts will be monitored for Excessive Trading activity and reported to management. Additional restrictions may be imposed by the Compliance Department on a Reporting Person if Excessive Trading is noted for a Personal Securities Account.

June, 2013 11 Code of Ethics

Wells Fargo Advantage Funds

4.4 Ban on Short-Term Trading Profits

There is a ban on short-term trading profits. Reporting Persons are not permitted to buy and sell, or sell and buy, the same Pre-clearable Security (or equivalent security) within 60 calendar days and make a profit; this will be considered short-term trading.

• This prohibition applies without regard to tax lot.

• Short sales are subject to the 60 day profit ban.

If a Reporting Person makes a profit on an involuntary call of an option, those profits are excluded from this ban; however, buying and selling options within 60 calendar days resulting in profits is prohibited. Settlement/expiration date on the opening option transaction must be at least 60 days out.

Sales or purchases made at the original purchase or sale price or at a loss are not prohibited during the 60 calendar day profit holding period.

You may be required to disgorge any profits you make from any sale before the 60-day period expires. In counting the 60 calendar days, multiple transactions in the same security (or Equivalent Security) will be counted in such a manner as to produce the shortest time period between transactions.

Although certain transactions may be deemed de minimis (i.e., the exceptions noted in Section 4.3), they are still subject to the ban on short-term trading profits and are required to be input into the Code of Ethics Transactions Monitoring System.

The ban on short-term trading profits does not apply to transactions that involve:

• Securities not requiring pre-clearance (i.e., ETFs)

• Same-day sales of securities acquired through the exercise of employee stock options or other Wells Fargo & Co. securities granted to you as compensation or through the delivery (constructive or otherwise) of previously owned employer stock to pay the exercise price and tax withholding;

• Commodities, futures (including currency futures), options on futures and options on currencies; or

• Automated purchases or sales that were done as part of an Automatic Investment Plan (“AIP”). However, any self-directed purchases or sales outside the pre-set schedule or allocation of the AIP, or other changes to the pre-set schedule or allocation of the AIP, within a 60-day period, are subject to the 60-day ban on short term profit.

4.5 Employee Compensation Related Accounts

1. 401(k) Plans
