1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Master 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”). These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Advantage Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio (“Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage Managed Fixed Income Portfolio (“Managed Fixed Income Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Advantage Stable Income Portfolio (“Stable Income Portfolio” ) and Wells Fargo Advantage Total Return Bond Portfolio (“Total Return Bond Portfolio” ) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust.
Interests in the Portfolios are sold without any sales charge in private placement transactions to qualified investors, including open-end investment management companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Portfolios should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.
Securities valuation
Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued based on available market quotations received from an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees which may utilize both transaction data and market information such as yield, prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity, type of issue, trading characteristics and other market data. If valuations are not available from the pricing service or values received are deemed not representative of market value, values will be obtained from a third party broker-dealer or determined based on the Portfolios’ Fair Value Procedures.
Debt securities of sufficient credit quality with original maturities of 60 days or less and any collateral received from securities lending invested in securities generally are valued at amortized cost which approximates fair value. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity.
Investments in open-end mutual portfolios and non-registered investment companies are generally valued at net asset value.
Certain investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above, are valued at their fair value, as determined by procedures established in good faith and approved by the Board of Trustees.
The valuation techniques used by the Portfolios to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.
Repurchase agreements
The Portfolios may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other portfolios advised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked-to- market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations. There could be potential loss to a Portfolio in the event that such Portfolio is delayed or prevented from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in which a Portfolio seeks to assert its rights.

Security loans
The Portfolios may lend their securities from time to time in order to earn additional income in the form of fees or interest on securities received as collateral or the investment of any cash received as collateral. A Portfolio continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. A Portfolio receives collateral in the form of cash or securities with a value at least equal to the value of the securities on loan. The value of the loaned securities is determined at the close of each business day and any additional required collateral is delivered to the Portfolio on the next business day. In the event of default or bankruptcy by the borrower, a Portfolio could experience delays and costs in recovering the loaned securities or in gaining access to the collateral. In addition, the investment of any cash collateral received may lose all or part of its value. The Portfolio has the right under the lending agreement to recover the securities from the borrower on demand.
The Portfolios lend their securities through an unaffiliated securities lending agent. Cash collateral received in connection with their securities lending transactions is invested in Wells Fargo Securities Lending Cash Investments, LLC (the “Cash Collateral Fund”). The Cash Collateral Fund is exempt from registration under Section 3(c)(7) of the 1940 Act and is managed by Wells Fargo Funds Management LLC (“Funds Management”) and is sub-advised by Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“Wells Capital Management”). Funds Management receives an investment advisory fee starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.01% as the average daily net assets of the Cash Collateral Fund increase. All of the fees received by Funds Management are paid to Wells Capital Management for its services as sub-adviser. The Cash Collateral Fund seeks to provide a positive return compared to the daily Fed Funds Open rate by investing in high-quality, U.S. dollar-denominated short-term money market instruments. Cash Collateral Fund investments are fair valued based upon the amortized cost valuation technique. Income earned from investment in the Cash Collateral Fund is included in securities lending income on the Statements of Operations.
In a securities lending transaction, the net asset value of a Portfolio will be affected by an increase or decrease in the value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of instruments in which cash collateral is invested. The amount of securities lending activity undertaken by a Portfolio fluctuates from time to time. After the occurrence of a default or impairment of structured investment vehicles purchased in a joint account by the Portfolios’ former securities lending agent, as the various participating Portfolios’ lending activity fluctuated, their ratable interest in the joint account, including their ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles fluctuated depending on the relative activity of each participating Portfolio. In order to eliminate the fluctuation of the various Portfolios’ ratable exposure to the defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles, the adviser to the Portfolios recommended to the Board of Trustees, and the Board of Trustees approved, actions designed to fix the allocation of percentage ownership in defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicles among all portfolios participating in securities lending (“side pocketing”) based on each Portfolio’s percentage ownership of the total cash collateral investment joint account as of the date the fixed allocation is implemented. Accordingly, on February 13, 2009 a side pocketing occurred, which fixed each Portfolio’s ownership of defaulted or impaired structured investment vehicle in the joint account based on each such Portfolio’s percentage ownership of the joint account as of such date.
When-issued transactions
Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or ‘when-issued’ basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets to cover its obligation by confirming the availability of qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio 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.
Term loans
Each Portfolio may invest in term loans. The loans are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest when the loans are funded. The loans pay interest at rates which are periodically reset by reference to a base lending rate plus a spread. The Portfolio assumes the credit risk of the borrower and there could be potential loss to the Portfolio in the event of default by the borrower.

Futures contracts
Certain Portfolios may be subject to interest rate risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolios may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against changes in, security values and interest rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market.
Futures contracts are valued based upon their quoted daily settlement prices. The aggregate principal amounts of the contracts are not recorded in the financial statements. Fluctuations in the value of the contracts are recorded in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities as an asset or liability and in the Statements of Operations as unrealized gains or losses until the contracts are closed, at which point they are recorded as net realized gains or losses on futures contracts. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
TBA sale commitments
A Portfolio may enter into To Be Announced (“TBA”) sale commitments to hedge its portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as “cover” for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the procedures described under “Securities valuation”. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by the Portfolio as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or loss. If the Portfolio delivers securities under the commitment, the Portfolio realizes a gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price established at the date the commitment was entered into.
Inflation-indexed bonds and TIPS
Certain Portfolios may invest in inflation-indexed bonds, including Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS). Inflation-indexed bonds are fixed income securities whose principal value is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation. If the index measuring inflation falls, the principal value of inflation-indexed bonds (other than municipal inflation indexed bonds and certain corporate inflation-indexed bonds) will be adjusted downward, and consequently the interest payable on these securities (calculated with respect to a smaller principal amount) will be reduced. Repayment of the original bond principal upon maturity (as adjusted for inflation) is guaranteed in the case of U.S. Treasury inflation-indexed bonds. For bonds that do not provide a similar guarantee, the adjusted principal value of the bond repaid at maturity may be less than the original principal. The value of inflation-indexed bonds is expected to change in response to changes in real interest rates. Real interest rates are tied to the relationship between nominal interest rates and the rate of inflation. If nominal interest rates increase at a faster rate than inflation, real interest rates may rise, leading to a decrease in value of inflation-indexed bonds. Inflation-indexed bonds, including TIPS, decline in value when real interest rates rise. In certain interest rate environments, such as when real interest rates are rising faster than nominal interest rates, inflation-indexed bonds may experience greater losses than other fixed income securities with similar durations.
Credit default swaps
Certain Portfolios may be subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swap contracts for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or for investment gains. Credit default swaps involve an exchange of a stream of payments for protection against the loss in value of an underlying security or index. Under the terms of the swap, one party acts as a guarantor (referred to as the seller of protection) and receives a periodic stream of payments, provided that there is no credit event, from another party (referred to as the buyer of protection) that is a fixed percentage applied to a notional principal amount over the term of the swap. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. A credit event includes bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation default, obligation acceleration, repudiation/moratorium, and restructuring. The Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps as either the
| | |
| | |
64 Wells Fargo Advantage Master Portfolios | | Notes to Financial Statements (Unaudited) |
seller of protection or the buyer of protection. As the seller of protection, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates. The maximum potential amount of future payments (undiscounted) that the Portfolio as the seller of protection could be required to make under the credit default swap contract would be an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap contract. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty risk, either as the protection seller or as the protection buyer, is the fair value of the contract. This risk is mitigated by having a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty and by having the counterparty post collateral to cover the Portfolio’s exposure to the counterparty.
If the Portfolio is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will pay to the buyer of protection the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index. If the Portfolio is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, as defined under the terms of that particular swap agreement, the Portfolio will receive from the seller of protection the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced obligation or underlying securities comprising the referenced index.
Any premiums paid or received on the transactions are recorded as an asset or liability on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized. The value of the swap contract is marked-to-market daily based on quotations from an independent pricing service or market makers and any change in value is recorded as an unrealized gain or loss. Periodic payments made or received are recorded as realized gains or losses. In addition, payments received or made as a result of a credit event or termination of the contract are recognized as realized gains or losses.
Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements. Any election by the counterparty to terminate early may impact the amounts reported on the financial statements.
Mortgage dollar roll transactions
The Portfolios may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Portfolio is compensated by the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract. The Portfolios account for the dollar roll transactions as purchases and sales.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based on the effective interest method. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.
Interest income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Federal and other taxes
Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. The Portfolios are not required to pay federal income taxes on their net investment income and net capital gain as they are treated as partnerships for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of a Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interest holders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.
Each Portfolio’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.
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 each Portfolio’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). Each Portfolio’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 Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments) |
The inputs or methodologies used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
As of November 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing each Portfolio’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:

4. TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES AND OTHER EXPENSES
Investment advisory fees
The Trust has entered into an investment advisory contract with Funds Management, an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”). The investment adviser is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the investment sub-advisers, who are responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.
Pursuant to the contract, Funds Management is paid an annual investment advisory fee starting at 0.40% and declining to 0.30% as the average daily net assets of each Portfolio increases. For the six months ended November 30, 2010, the investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.40% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, except Total Return Bond Portfolio. The investment advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.36% of Total Return Bond Portfolio’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management may retain the services of certain investment sub-advisers to provide daily portfolio management to the Portfolios. Wells Capital Management, an affiliate of Funds Management, is the investment sub-adviser to Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio and Total Return Bond Portfolio. Galliard Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the investment sub-adviser to Managed Fixed Income Portfolio and Stable Income Portfolio.
The fees related to investment sub-advisory services are borne directly by the investment adviser and do not increase the overall fees paid by a Portfolio to the investment adviser. The investment sub-advisers are each paid an annual investment sub-advisory fee which is calculated based on the average daily net assets of each Portfolio as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | Annual investment sub-advisory fee |
| | Investment sub-adviser | | starting at | | declining to |
|
Inflation-Protected Bond Portfolio | | Wells Capital Management | | | 0.20 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
Managed Fixed Income Portfolio | | Galliard Capital Management Incorporated | | | 0.20 | %* | | | 0.10 | %* |
Stable Income Portfolio | | Galliard Capital Management Incorporated | | | 0.15 | %* | | | 0.05 | %* |
Total Return Bond Portfolio | | Wells Capital Management | | | 0.20 | % | | | 0.10 | % |
| | |
* | | Prior to August 25, 2010 the investment sub-advisory rate paid to Galliard started at 0.10% and declined to 0.03% as average daily net assets increased. |
Funds Management has contractually waived and/or reimbursed investment advisory fees during the six months ended November 30, 2010 to the extent necessary to maintain certain net operating expense ratios for the Portfolios.

Total Return Bond Portfolio had an average notional balance of $26,256,831 during the six months ended November 30, 2010.
Certain of the Portfolio’s derivative transactions may contain provisions for early termination in the event the net assets of the Portfolio declines below specific levels identified by the counterparty. If these levels are triggered, the counterparty may terminate the transaction and seek payment or request full collateralization of the derivative transaction in net liability positions. On November 30, 2010, the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with net asset contingent features that were in a liability positions amounted to $691,858.
The fair value, realized gains or losses and change in unrealized gains or losses on derivative instruments are reflected in the appropriate financial statements.
8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
