SHAREHOLDER LETTER WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DEAR VALUED SHAREHOLDER,
We are pleased to provide you with this Wells Fargo Stock Funds
semi-annual report for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004. On the
following pages, you will find a discussion of each Fund, including performance
highlights, the Fund managers' strategic outlook and facts and figures about
each Fund's portfolio.
THE ECONOMY: A MODERATE, JOBLESS RECOVERY
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The economic recovery continued during the past six months. Strong
consumer spending and positive performance by the housing and manufacturing
sectors supported the expansion and helped counter the lack of job creation.
Increased tax refunds and gains in household wealth from the past year's stock
market rally also helped bolster consumer spending. Lower mortgage rates made
housing more affordable and increased household cash flow. Finally, domestic
spending, solid growth of exports amid the global economic recovery, and the
weaker dollar's positive impact on U.S. competitiveness helped the manufacturing
sector.
The Federal Reserve Board (the Fed) kept short-term interest rates at 1%
during the period, the lowest level in more than 45 years. The Fed maintained
the low rates, as the economy continued to experience a moderate, jobless
recovery and little threat of inflation. Business confidence also improved and
corporate earnings continued to grow, signaling an increase in capital spending
and the possibility of employment growth by the end of the reporting period.
Unfortunately, this initial optimism dimmed by the close of the six-month
period, as concerns over disappointing job gains put somewhat of a damper on the
stock market.
STOCKS: UPWARD MOMENTUM
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stocks turned in a positive performance during the reporting period, with
the S&P 500 Index finishing with a 14.07% gain. In eight of the ten S&P 500
sectors, over two-thirds of the stocks surpassed old market highs (technology
and telecommunications were the exceptions). As consumer confidence improved and
investors became more willing to assume risk, small cap stocks outperformed
large cap stocks. In addition, international stocks outperformed domestic stocks
due to the U.S. dollar's steep decline in the currency market.
ECONOMIC RECOVERY DAMPENS THE BOND MARKET
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Bond returns continued to lag behind stock returns, as the period finished
with a 2.98% gain for the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index. An improving
economy, generally a positive sign for stocks, is typically more challenging for
bonds because interest rates often rise as the economy strengthens. Looking
ahead, increasing federal budget deficits are a major concern, since massive
U.S. Government borrowing could exert upward pressure on interest rates.
LOOKING AHEAD: CONTINUING GROWTH?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Presidential election years have historically witnessed positive gains in
the stock market. Continuing economic growth, gradually rising employment rates,
low inflation and higher corporate profits could carry the stock market's
momentum well into this presidential election year. The potential for increased
interest rates and rising inflation could propel large cap stocks into the
forefront and negatively affect bond returns in the near term. Despite the fact
that consumer confidence and business spending are rising, investors continue to
seem unconvinced about the economic recovery, which could affect the recovery's
sustainability.
During all market conditions, we believe successful investing includes
taking a balanced approach, maintaining a portfolio that is diversified among
stocks and bonds, and keeping a long-term perspective. While diversification may
not prevent losses in a market downturn, it may help reduce them and keep you on
track to reach your financial goals. You may wish to review your portfolio with
an investment professional.
Thank you for choosing WELLS FARGO FUNDS(R). We appreciate your confidence
in us. Through each market cycle, we are committed to helping you meet your
financial needs. If you have any questions about your investment, please contact
your investment professional, or call us at 1-800-222-8222. You may also visit

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 14.94%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07%. The Fund's Class A shares distributed $0.26 per
share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The primary reason for the Fund's strong performance during the period was
the growth in corporate profits worldwide, the low interest rate environment,
and the fact that the Fund is so broadly diversified. Fortune Brands, a U.S.
conglomerate with subsidiaries engaged in the manufacture of home products,
spirits and wine, golf equipment and office products, was one of the Fund's
positive contributors to performance for the six-month period. The stock
appreciated based on anticipation that the company's first quarter results would
be higher than most analysts expected. Microsoft, on the other hand, detracted
significantly from the Fund's performance over the period, based on news of an
unfavorable antitrust ruling in Europe.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is a blend of several investment styles, including international
equity, large company growth, large company value, small company growth and
small company value. Rather than making major shifts in investment styles as the
economy changes, it remains highly diversified and continues to invest in most
of the equity categories.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We expect to continue to manage the Fund using a blended approach in which
some investment categories will benefit--and others will decline--depending upon
how the economic scenario plays out. For example, if the economy stumbles, then
stocks that usually benefit from such a scenario, such as food and beverage
stocks, could appreciate in value. If overseas economies continue to recover,
then investors in this Fund would likely benefit from its overseas investments.
While we are not dependent upon economic predictions to make our investment
decisions, we believe it is possible that the U.S. and international economies
will continue to improve and interest rates may rise. Of course, the threat of
global terrorism continues to hang over the markets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Diversified Equity Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions,the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
The Fund is a gateway blended Fund that invests all of its assets in two or
more master portfolios of Master Trust in varying proportions. References to the
investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment
activities of the master portfolios in which it invests.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class
shares of the Wells Fargo Diversified Equity Fund for periods prior to November
8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Diversified Equity Fund, its predecessor
fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and
Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the Wells Fargo Funds. Performance
shown for the Class A shares of the Fund prior to May 2, 1996, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted for Class A
sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for the Class B shares of the Fund
prior to May 6, 1996, reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares
of the Fund, adjusted for Class B sales charges and expenses. Performance shown
for the Class C shares of the Fund prior to October 1, 1998, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted for Class C
sales charges and expenses. Performance of the Institutional Class shares of the
Fund prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a collective
investment fund, adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the collective
investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment strategy
that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The collective investment
fund's performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund's 1994 estimate of its
expense ratio for the first year of operations as a mutual fund, including any
applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or expense
reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") nor subject to certain investment
limitations, diversification requirements or other restrictions imposed by the
1940 Act or the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely
affected that fund's performance results.
(2) The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held common stocks
representing, among others, industrial, financial, utility and transportation
companies listed or traded on national exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
You cannot invest directly in an index.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO DIVERSIFIED SMALL CAP FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Diversified Small Cap Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term
capital appreciation with moderate annual return volatility by
diversifying its investments across different small-capitalization equity
investment styles.

LLC Incorporated Peregrine Capital
Management, Inc.
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund returned 19.85%(1) for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004,
underperforming the Russell 2000(R) Index(2), which returned 21.69%. The Fund
distributed no dividend income and $0.08 per share in capital gains during the
period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The strong growth evident in the second half of 2003 continued into 2004,
spurred by low interest rates and tax cuts that boosted mortgage refinancing and
consumer spending. The Fund's strongest small cap performers for the six-month
period were holdings in the financial services sector, which were helped by
lower interest rates. Higher oil prices benefited energy stocks, which also
contributed to Fund performance during the reporting period. The Fund's exposure
to small-cap growth stocks, such as Asyst Technologies and McDermott
International, hurt performance, while the Fund's exposure to small-cap value
stocks, such as Joy Global and GrafTech International, helped performance, as
value investing was more in favor during the six-month period.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Within the small cap value portion of the portfolio, we began to see
weakness in the financial services sector, primarily in the regional bank area,
as valuations neared their highs. We also de-emphasized the utilities sector, as
these stocks had been pushed higher after the recent dividend tax cuts took
effect and investors actively sought higher-yielding stocks. The Fund emphasizes
technology and cyclical companies, areas that are most sensitive to and likely
to be impacted by the economic recovery.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate earnings could surpass expectations because, since the market
peak of 2000, both corporate managers and Wall Street analysts have been
conservative in their forecasts. Uncertainty about how noneconomic factors such
as the presidential election and the risk of terrorist strikes, however, may
negatively impact corporate earnings this year. The Fund is invested in
companies, identified through our bottom-up research process, that are
characterized by encouraging growth prospects or underutilized assets.
Importantly, these companies are selling at a discount to what we estimate to be
their fair value, giving them significant upside potential.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Diversified Small Cap Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
The Fund is a gateway blended Fund that invests all of its assets in two or
more master portfolios of Master Trust in varying proportions. References to the
investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment
activities of the master portfolios in which it invests.
Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo
Diversified Small Cap Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage
Diversified Small Cap Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of
business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest Advantage Funds were
reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 16.88%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07% and underperforming the Russell 1000 Value(R)
Index(3), which returned 17.65%. The Fund's Class A shares distributed $0.23 per
share in dividend income and $1.40 per share in capital gains during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The consumer sectors, both discretionary and staples, made the largest
positive contribution to Fund performance. A number of the Fund's holdings in
consumer stocks had returns in the range of 20% to 40% over the past six months.
May Department Stores continued to recover from a difficult retail environment.
Target benefited from strong fourth quarter results, as well as the potential
spin-off of their Mervyn's and Marshall Fields divisions. McDonald's renewed its
focus on its core businesses, leading to significant improvement in operating
results. Fortune Brands pre-announced first quarter results would be much higher
than expected, up at least 19%. PepsiCo had a great fourth quarter, increased
the outlook for their first quarter and full year of 2004, and increased their
dividend 44%. Motorola shares jumped nearly 50% as operating results improved.
The Fund's weaker sectors were health care and materials. The decision to
discontinue further development of two major drugs negatively impacted Merck's
performance. The somewhat slower than expected economic recovery affected
materials companies.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In an effort to improve diversification, as well as reduce risk, we
established initial positions in the following stocks: Allstate, ConocoPhillips,
FPL Group, Kimberly-Clark, Nokia, Wachovia and Microsoft. We eliminated
positions in Sears Roebuck and Duke Energy over concerns about the companies'
growth prospects. We also sold our holding of Schlumberger due to its
appreciated stock price that had reached the high end of our valuation range.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that the Fund remains attractive on a fundamental basis. The
current dividend yield is about 50% higher than the market as a whole.
Valuations are still reasonable despite a nearly 40% advance over the past year.
We believe that the Fund's focus on large cap, high quality dividend paying
stocks could provide investors competitive total returns with potentially less
risk.

Performance shown for Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class
shares of the Wells Fargo Equity Income Fund for periods prior to November 8,
1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Income Equity Fund (the accounting
survivor of a merger of the Norwest Advantage Income Equity Fund and the
Stagecoach Diversified Equity Income Fund), its predecessor fund. Effective at
the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest Advantage
Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance shown for the
Class A and Class B shares of the Fund prior to May 2, 1996, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect
Class A and Class B sales charges and expenses, respectively. Performance shown
for the Class C shares of the Fund prior to October 1, 1998, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect
Class C sales charges and expenses. Performance of the Institutional Class
shares of the Fund prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a
collective investment fund, adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the
collective investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment
strategy that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The collective
investment fund's performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund's 1994 estimate
of its expense ratio for the first year of operations as a mutual fund,
including any applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or
expense reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") nor subject to certain
investment limitations, diversification requirements or other restrictions
imposed by the 1940 Act or the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may
have adversely affected the performance results.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO EQUITY INDEX FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Equity Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to approximate to the
extent practicable the total rate of return of substantially all common
stocks comprising the S&P 500 Index(1) before fees and expenses.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 13.69%(2) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the S&P 500
Index(1) (the Index), which returned 14.07% during the period. The Fund's Class
A shares distributed $0.50 per share in dividend income and $1.31 per share in
capital gains during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's goal is to approximate the total rate of return of the Index
less expenses. The Fund was positively affected by the low interest rate
environment, low inflation and positive economic growth. Overall equity
performance, however, was hindered by the lagging economic recovery. During the
reporting period, the Index overcame a setback in March 2004 to post its fourth
straight quarterly gain.
The best-performing sectors within the Index tended to be those that would
typically benefit from accelerating economic growth. During the second half of
the period the more stable, "defensive" sectors of the market led the way, a
pattern that may continue if interest rates begin a more sustained rise later
this year. The consumer staples sector turned in a strong performance, while
higher oil prices and lower interest rates provided good support to energy and
financial services stocks, respectively. Broadly speaking, small cap stocks
outperformed mid cap stocks, which, in turn, outperformed the large cap stocks
that comprise the Index.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings of stocks within the Index may continue to grow throughout 2004,
as economic fundamentals are falling into place for a more sustained stock rally
in the months ahead. Upbeat economic reports have lent support to analysts'
double-digit growth forecast for corporate profits through late 2004. We believe
that exports, inventory building and other investment spending could add
support, benefiting from a slow but steady improvement in business pricing
power. This could negatively impact the economy, however, because of its
potential to contribute to inflation and worsen the outlook on interest rates
later this year. Any future rise in interest rates this year may be gradual by
historic standards, reflecting solid but unspectacular growth and only a gradual
turn toward higher inflation.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Equity Index Fund.
(1) The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held common stocks
representing, among others, industrial, financial, utility and transportation
companies listed or traded on national exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
You cannot invest directly in an index.
(2) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005, to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for Class A and Class B shares of the Wells Fargo Equity
Index Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects performance of the
Class A and Class B shares of the Stagecoach Equity Index Fund, its predecessor
fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and
Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance
shown for Class A shares for periods prior to December 12, 1997, reflects
performance of the Stagecoach Corporate Stock Fund, a predecessor portfolio with
the same investment objectives and policies as the Fund. Performance shown for
the Class B shares prior to February 17, 1998, reflects performance of the Class
A shares, adjusted for Class B sales charges and expenses.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE

WELLS FARGO GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Growth Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term capital
appreciation.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 11.75%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, under performing the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund lagged behind the broader market primarily because value stocks
continued to outperform growth stocks. Evidence of economic strength finally
appeared during the period, as corporate profits exhibited strong growth,
non-farm payroll rose for the first time in eight months, retail same-store
sales rose nearly 6%--the best in 18 months--and third quarter Gross Domestic
Product growth came in at 8.2%, the fastest since 1984. Positive news continued
to be reported through February 2004, as corporate profit reports met or
exceeded expectations. However, in March, the market lost steam with worries
over whether the economic recovery could continue without significant job
creation.
The most significant contributors to Fund performance were holdings from a
diverse array of industries including biotechnology, financial services, oil and
restaurants. In particular, Boston Scientific benefited from the approval and
immediate successful launch of its cardiac stent device; Starbucks benefited
from the company's phenomenal sales growth; Suncor Energy benefited from the
spike in oil prices; and Goldman Sachs was a major beneficiary of the pickup in
merger and acquisition activity.
The largest detractors from Fund performance were Amgen, the large
biotechnology company, whose stock price fell following good performance earlier
in 2003, and Microsoft, which remains under a cloud of unresolved
anti-competitive issues in Europe and is experiencing delays in its next
generation of software.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund made changes to its portfolio holdings by reducing its investment
in financial stocks, particularly those most likely impacted by rising interest
rates, which we believe may happen later in the year. In addition, the Fund
increased its holdings in innovative health care companies, selective retailers
and multinational industrial companies that may benefit from the weak U.S.
dollar.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We continue to believe that market leadership will be with strong, global
industrial companies, technology and health care. If strength continues into the
second half of 2004, we would need to be watchful for inflation and rising
interest rates. A rising rate environment would favor high-quality, stable
companies over smaller, riskier businesses.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Growth Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of
the Wells Fargo Growth Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999,reflects
performance of the Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the
Stagecoach Growth Fund (the accounting survivor of a merger of the Stagecoach
Growth Fund and the Norwest Advantage ValuGrowth Stock Fund), its predecessor
fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and
Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance
shown for the Class B shares of the Fund for the period from January 1, 1992, to
January 1, 1995,reflects performance of the Class A shares of the Fund, with
expenses of the Class A shares adjusted to reflect Class B sales charges and
expenses. Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund prior
to September 6, 1996, reflects performance of the Fund's Class A shares.

Index(2), which returned 14.07%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Internationally, the recovery in corporate profits throughout many
important sectors led the way to higher capital spending and further profit
expansion. Strong relative results in the final months of 2003 gave way to
weaker results in the first quarter of 2004. The international component of the
Fund was a positive contributor to performance, particularly the Japanese
financial sector where corporate restructuring and ties to the economic recovery
led to strong stock gains. UFJ Holdings and Mitsubishi-Tokyo Financial Group
were the two largest contributors to the Fund's positive performance.
Domestically, one of the Fund's top contributors was eBay, which posted a
return of over 26% for the period. On the other hand, one of the Fund's weaker
performers was Microsoft, which detracted significantly from Fund performance
over the period, because of news of an unfavorable antitrust ruling in Europe.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is a blend of several investment styles, including international
equity, large company growth, small company growth and small company value.
Rather than making major shifts in investment style as the economy changes, it
remains highly diversified and continues to invest in most of the equity
categories.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We expect to continue to manage the Fund using a blended approach in which
some investment categories will benefit--and others will decline--depending upon
how the economic scenario plays out. For example, if the economy continues to
improve, then stocks that usually benefit from such a scenario, such as
technology, could appreciate in value. If overseas economies continue to
recover, then investors in this Fund may benefit from its overseas investments.
While we are not dependent upon economic predictions to make our investment
decisions, we believe that it is likely that the U.S. and international
economies will continue to improve, and that it is possible that interest rates
may rise as the demand for credit increases.

(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005, to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
The Fund is a gateway blended Fund that invests all of its assets in two or
more master portfolios of Master Trust in varying proportions. References to the
investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment
activities of the master portfolios in which it invests.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares of the Wells Fargo Growth Equity Fund for periods prior to November
8, 1999,reflects performance of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Growth Equity Fund, its predecessor fund.
Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999,the Stagecoach and Norwest
Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance shown
for the Class A shares of the Fund prior to May 2, 1996,reflects the performance
of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted for Class A sales
charges and expenses. Performance shown for the Class B shares of the Fund prior
to May 6, 1996, reflects the performance of the Institutional Class shares of
the Fund, adjusted for Class B sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for
the Class C shares of the Fund prior to October 1, 1998, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted for Class C
sales charges and expenses. Performance of the Institutional Class shares of the
Fund, prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a collective
investment fund, adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. Wells Fargo
Bank, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the collective
investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment strategy
that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The collective investment
fund's performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund's 1994 estimate of its
expense ratio for the first year of operations as a mutual fund, including any
applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or expense
reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") nor subject to certain investment
limitations, diversification requirements or other restrictions imposed by the
1940 Act or the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely
affected the Fund's performance results.

WELLS FARGO INDEX FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Index Fund (the Fund) seeks to replicate the total
rate of return of the S&P 500 Index(1), before fees and expenses.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Wells Capital Management
Incorporated
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE

Gregory T. Genung, CFA
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund returned 13.90%(2) for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004,
underperforming the S&P 500 Index(1) (the Index), which returned 14.07%. The
Fund distributed $0.58 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during
the six-month period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's goal is to approximate the total rate of return of the Index
less expenses. The Fund was positively affected by the low interest rate
environment, low inflation and positive economic growth. Overall equity
performance, however, was hindered by the lagging economic recovery. During the
reporting period, the Index overcame a setback in March 2004 to post its fourth
straight quarterly gain.
The best-performing sectors within the Index tended to be those that would
typically benefit from accelerating economic growth. During the second half of
the period, the more stable, "defensive" sectors of the market led the way, a
pattern that may continue if interest rates begin a more sustained rise later
this year. The consumer staples sector turned in a strong performance, while
higher oil prices and lower interest rates provided good support to energy and
financial services stocks, respectively. Broadly speaking, small cap stocks
outperformed mid cap stocks, which, in turn, outperformed the large cap stocks
that comprise the Index.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Earnings of stocks within the Index may continue to grow throughout 2004,
as economic fundamentals are falling into place for a more sustained stock rally
in the months ahead. Upbeat economic reports have lent support to analysts'
double-digit growth forecast for corporate profits through late 2004. We believe
that exports, inventory building and other investment spending could add
support, benefiting from a slow, but steady improvement in business pricing
power. This could negatively impact the economy, however, because of its
potential to contribute to inflation and worsen the outlook on interest rates
later this year. Any future rise in interest rates this year may be gradual by
historic standards, reflecting solid, but unspectacular growth and only a
gradual turn toward higher inflation.

Performance shown for Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo Index
Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999 reflects performance of the
Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Index Fund, its predecessor
fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and
Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance
of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, prior to November 11, 1994,
reflects performance of a collective investment fund adjusted to reflect
Institutional Class expenses. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank,
N.A., managed the collective investment fund with an investment objective and
principal investing strategy that were substantially similar to those of the
Fund. The collective investment fund's performance was adjusted to reflect the

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO INTERNATIONAL EQUITY FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo International Equity Fund (the Fund) seeks total return,
with an emphasis on capital appreciation, over the long term, by investing
primarily in equity securities of non-U.S. companies.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Wells Capital Management
Incorporated
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE
Josephine Jimenez, CFA 09/24/97
Sabrina Yih, CFA
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 17.77%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the MSCI/EAFE
Index(2) (the Index), which returned 22.16%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The largest contributor to the Fund's performance was the Japanese
financial sector, in which corporate restructuring and ties to the economic
recovery led to strong stock gains. UFJ Holdings and Mitsubishi-Tokyo Financial
Group were the two largest contributors to the Fund's positive performance.
Energy companies in the Fund benefited from strong earnings and sustained high
oil prices.
The Fund's holdings in industrial, information technology and consumer
discretionary stocks, particularly in Europe, underperformed the Index. In
addition, small cap stocks outperformed large cap stocks, although the Fund was
geared more towards large cap stocks. One of the Fund's worst performers was
Vodafone Holdings (formerly Japan Telecom), primarily because it did not offer
the right handset products to compete effectively.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
First, we added attractively priced stocks that we believe may benefit
from an increase in consumer discretionary spending, with particular focus on
European luxury goods companies. Second, we increased exposure to materials
companies that benefit from demand in the emerging markets as well as in
developed countries. Third, we added select telecommunications equipment
companies that are focused on wireless technology.
We believe that the Fund is positioned for global recovery in both
continental Europe and in Japan. The Fund has an overweight position in Japan as
compared to the Index, based on the belief that both a domestic- and export-led
recovery are occurring.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that we remain positioned for global growth driven by further
demand from China and from the economic recovery of the U.S., Japan and Europe
after several years of slow growth. Within that scenario, we are searching for
companies that we believe may benefit from the recovery of consumer spending,
higher capital expenditure spending and exports to high-growth economies.
Investing in foreign securities presents certain risks that may not be
present in domestic securities. For example, investments in foreign and emerging
markets present special risks including currency fluctuation, the potential for
diplomatic and political instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, foreign
taxation and differences in auditing and other financial standards.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo International Equity Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Wells
Fargo International Equity Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects
performance of the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Stagecoach
International Equity Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of
business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest Advantage Funds were
reorganized into the Wells Fargo Funds. Performance shown for the Class C shares
for periods prior to April 1, 1998, reflects performance of the Class B shares
of the Stagecoach Fund, adjusted for Class C sales charges and expenses.
Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares for periods prior to
November 8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class A shares, adjusted to
reflect the expenses of the Institutional Class shares.

The Fund's Class A shares returned 12.89%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's holdings of airline stocks lagged during the period, as rising
fuel prices and competitive pressures forced fare reductions that affected the
sector. Microsoft also had a negative impact on Fund performance -- the
performance of the stock has stayed flat as the company seeks to find its way
during what BUSINESS WEEK magazine recently called a "midlife" crisis. In
addition, the Fund had very little exposure to consumer staples, some of which
did very well during the period, especially beverages and tobacco.
The Fund's strongest performers during the six-month period were DR
Horton, a homebuilder; Qualcomm, a manufacturer of digital wireless
telecommunications products; and Coach, a designer of women's and men's
accessories and leather outerwear. DR Horton has benefited from historically low
interest rates, Qualcomm has seen signs of improvement in the wireless industry
and Coach has benefited from expansion of its franchise in Japan.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The two most noteworthy changes in the Fund's holdings since September 30,
2003, were a decrease in technology holdings and an increase in financial
services holdings. Although the portfolio remains overweight relative to the
benchmark in its technology holdings, we have closed the gap substantially, as
some segments have cooled off and others have presented opportunities. While the
environment is still tough for many segments of the financial services sector,
we have increased exposure to the sector, tilting a bit more toward capital
markets and property and casualty insurance companies.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe the economic recovery will continue through the year, and
corporate earnings growth should follow. In addition, there have been
indications recently that we may finally see some job recovery to accompany the
improving economic picture. Because our investment process is closely tied to
the fundamental operating performance of the companies in the portfolio, we
believe the Fund's performance could benefit from these positive trends.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 16.14%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07% for the same period. The Fund's Class A shares
distributed $0.01 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the
period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The stock market generally performed well during the six-month period,
except for the first three weeks of March when markets reacted negatively to a
disappointing employment report, geopolitical/terrorist activity and a
subsequent drop in consumer confidence. Fortunately, this activity was
short-lived and investors began refocusing on fundamentals by the end of the
reporting period. Stocks with positive earnings surprises and upward profit
estimates outperformed, and the Fund contained a large number of stocks with
those attributes.
The Fund's best performing holdings for the period included Amdocs, which
provides billing software to the telecommunications industry and Friedman,
Billings, Ramsey Group, an investment banking firm specializing in real estate.
Amdocs has the potential to gain more business as a result of the merger of AT&T
Wireless and Cingular, since Cingular and Amdocs are owned in part by the same
company. Friedman, Billings, Ramsey Group benefited from strong capital markets,
especially from the increased volume of initial public offerings.
The biggest detractor from Fund performance was AMR, the parent company of
American Airlines, which faced high fuel costs, increased terrorism
worries and ongoing competitive pressure from low-cost carriers.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of our bottom-up stock selection process, the Fund's sector
weighting increased in consumer discretionary and decreased in health care,
materials, utilities, financial, industrials and telecommunication services. The
Fund is currently overweighted in the information technology, materials, health
care and consumer discretionary sectors. It is underweighted in financial,
telecommunications services, energy and consumer staples.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that the pace of the economic recovery may gain strength and
continue to benefit corporate earnings. Shorter-term risks that could affect the
rate of this recovery include the lack of a meaningful rebound in employment and
further global violence from terrorist activities. We will continue to focus on
stock-specific fundamental analysis, with an emphasis on attractive valuation,
such as low price-to-earnings ratios, positive earnings and revenue surprises,
and upward estimate revisions.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 8.14%(1) for the six-month period ended
March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the S&P 500 Index(2),
which returned 14.07% during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the past six months, the lowest quality, highest risk assets
performed the best. Small cap stocks outperformed large cap stocks. Large-cap
value stocks outperformed large-cap growth stocks. The Fund was and continues to
be focused on the high-quality, fast-earnings growth companies. This
high-quality focus helped in the 2000-2002 timeframe, but hindered performance
during the current reporting period, especially in the fourth quarter of 2003,
as value stocks outperformed growth stocks.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The changes we made to the Fund's portfolio were designed to sustain the
Fund's rapid earnings growth profile. For example, we initiated a position in
Genentech, a leader in the biotechnology arena that has a diverse product base
and substantial pipeline of new drugs that should allow the company to grow
earnings over the next several years. We also purchased Linear Technology, a
leader in the analog semiconductor market that is highly profitable and growing
revenue and earnings in excess of 20% per year. Finally, we added Franklin
Resources to the portfolio, a company that has a good asset management business
and is likely to grow assets and earnings at a mid-teens long-term rate, well
ahead of the industry. We sold the Fund's positions in IMS Health and DST
Systems, two well-managed companies that were likely to grow future earnings,
but at the low end of our growth criteria. These moves should help maintain the
Fund's average long-term earnings growth rate at two to three times the average
company.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate management currently faces an intensely competitive, global
arena. This extremely competitive environment means that there is not much in
the way of profits left over for anyone but those who are first in their
industry. We will seek to invest in rare, high-quality growth companies that are
the dominant, low-cost industry leaders.

Performance shown for the Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares
of the Wells Fargo Large Company Growth Fund for periods prior to November
8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B and Institutional Class
shares of the Norwest Advantage Large Company Growth Fund, its predecessor fund.
Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest
Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance shown
for the Class A shares of the Fund prior to October 1, 1998, reflects the
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect
Class A sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for the Class B shares of
the Fund prior to October 1, 1998, reflects the performance of the Institutional
Class shares of the Fund, adjusted to reflect Class B sales charges and
expenses. Performance shown for the Class C shares for periods prior to November
8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class B shares, adjusted for Class C sales
charges and expenses. Performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund,
prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a collective investment
fund, adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the collective investment fund
with an investment objective and principal investment strategy that were
substantially similar to those of the Fund. The collective investment fund's
performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund's 1994 estimate of its expense
ratio for the first year of operations as a mutual fund, including any
applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or expense
reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under the
Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") nor subject to certain investment
limitations, diversification requirements or other restrictions imposed by the
1940 Act or the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may have adversely
affected the Fund's performance results.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE

WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY EMERGING MARKETS FOCUS FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY EMERGING MARKETS FOCUS FUND (the Fund) seeks
long-term capital appreciation.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 24.31(1) for the six-month period ended
March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the MSCI EMF Index(2),
which returned 29.26%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerging markets continued to perform well through the end of 2003 and
into 2004. The Fund held positions in companies in Asia, Eastern Europe and
Latin America, which continued to benefit from low interest rates, improved
earnings and strong basic materials prices. The economies of China, Mexico and
Brazil continued to grow, benefiting from their ties to the U.S. economy, while
the stock markets of Korea, Taiwan, Argentina and Russia registered double-digit
gains by the end of the reporting period. The recovery in corporate profits
throughout many important sectors, including consumer discretionary and
industrials, in these countries contributed significantly to Fund performance.
The Brazilian government's very strict monetary policy put downward
pressure on the country's stocks, which detracted from the Fund's performance in
recent months. After contributing strong gains to performance in the fourth
quarter of 2003, the Fund's holdings in Thailand suffered from concerns over
terrorism and avian influenza, or "bird flu."
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We reduced the Fund's exposure to Brazil at the end of the reporting
period but continued to maintain an overweight position, as we remain positive
about its leadership in the region's economic recovery. We increased the Fund's
exposure to Mexico with companies experiencing strong profits growth and added
to the Fund's positions in Chile and Indonesia, based on our positive outlook
for basic materials demand. We also increased the Fund's exposure to India, as
the country's agricultural and software sectors continue to grow. Because we
believe that higher oil prices and increasing political stability continue to
benefit Russia, we increased the Fund's exposure to the country. On a sector
basis, we added slightly to the Fund's positions in consumer staples, financial,
and telecommunication services.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We remain optimistic that inflation will not dampen growth significantly,
but are cautious about the potential for rising interest rates to negatively
impact growth in emerging markets. We anticipate continued strong demand for
basic materials, higher energy prices and a continued recovery in capital
spending, but will watch carefully the economic impact of coming elections in
many countries. Within this investment backdrop, we remain focused on
fundamentals and overall security valuation within the Fund's portfolio.
Investing in foreign securities entails additional risks that may not be
present in domestic securities, including currency fluctuation, political and
diplomatic instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, foreign taxation and
differences in auditing and other financial standards. In addition to the
greater exposure to the risks of foreign investing, emerging markets present
considerable additional risks, including potential instability of emerging
market countries and the increased susceptibility of emerging market economies
to financial, economic and market events.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY EMERGING MARKET FOCUS FUND.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class
shares of the Wells Fargo Montgomery Emerging Markets Focus Fund for periods
prior to June 9, 2003, reflects the performance of the Class A, Class B, Class C
and Class R shares, respectively, of the Montgomery Emerging Markets Focus Fund
(the accounting survivor of a merger of the Montgomery Emerging Markets Focus
Fund and Montgomery Emerging Markets Fund with the Wells Fargo Montgomery
Emerging Markets Focus Fund), its predecessor fund, adjusted to reflect
applicable sales charges. Effective at the close of business on June 6, 2003,
certain of the Montgomery Funds were reorganized into certain of the WELLS FARGO
FUNDS. Performance shown for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Fund
for periods prior to October 31, 2001, reflects the performance of the
predecessor fund's Class R shares, adjusted to reflect each Class's fees and
expenses. Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund prior
to June 9, 2003, reflects the performance of the predecessor fund's Class R
shares.
(2) The Morgan Stanley Capital International Emerging Markets Free Index (MSCI
EMF) is a free, float-adjusted market capitalization index designed to measure
the equity market performance in the global emerging markets. The Index is
currently comprised of approximately 26 emerging market country indices. You
cannot invest directly in an index.
(3) The ten largest equity holdings are calculated based on the market value of
the securities divided by total market value of the portfolio.
(4) Portfolio composition and characteristics are subject to change.
(5) The chart compares the performance of the Wells Fargo Montgomery Emerging
Markets Focus Fund Class A and Institutional Class shares for the life of the
Fund with the MSCI EMF Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical investment of
$10,000 in Class A and Institutional Class shares and reflects all operating
expenses and, for Class A shares, assumes the maximum initial sales charge of
5.75%.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund returned 29.93(1) for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004,
outperforming the MSCI EMF Index(2), which returned 29.26%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Emerging markets continued to perform well through the end of 2003 and
into 2004. The Fund held positions in companies in Asia, Eastern Europe and
Latin America, which continued to benefit from low interest rates, improved
earnings and strong basic materials prices. The economies of China, Mexico and
Brazil continued to grow, benefiting from their ties to the U.S. economy, while
the stock markets of Korea, Taiwan, Argentina and Russia registered double-digit
gains by the end of the reporting period. The recovery in corporate profits
throughout many important sectors, including consumer discretionary and
industrials, in these countries contributed significantly to Fund performance.
The Brazilian government's very strict monetary policy put downward
pressure on the country's stocks, which detracted from the Fund's performance in
recent months. After contributing strong gains to performance in the fourth
quarter of 2003, the Fund's holdings in Thailand suffered from concerns over
terrorism and avian influenza, or "bird flu."
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We reduced the Fund's exposure to Brazil at the end of the reporting
period but continued to maintain an overweight position, as we remain positive
about its leadership in the region's economic recovery. After reducing our
exposure in the fourth quarter of 2003, in 2004 we increased the Fund's exposure
to Mexico with companies experiencing strong profits growth and added to the
Fund's positions in Chile and Indonesia, based on our positive outlook for basic
materials demand. We also increased the Fund's exposure to India, as the
country's agricultural and software sectors continued to grow. We capitalized on
Russia's strong performance over the past several quarters and reduced the
Fund's exposure, though higher oil prices and increasing political stability
continue to benefit the country. On a sector basis, we added slightly to the
Fund's consumer discretionary and industrials holdings while reducing positions
in consumer staples, financial, and telecommunication services.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We remain optimistic that inflation will not dampen growth significantly,
but are cautious about the potential for rising interest rates to negatively
impact growth in emerging markets. We anticipate continued strong demand for
basic materials, higher energy prices and a continued recovery in capital
spending, but will watch carefully the economic impact of coming elections in
many countries. Within this investment backdrop, we remain focused on
fundamentals and overall security valuation within the Fund's portfolio.
Investing in foreign securities entails additional risks that may not be
present in domestic securities, including currency fluctuation, political and
diplomatic instability, regulatory and liquidity risks, foreign taxation and
differences in auditing and other financial standards. In addition to the
greater exposure to the risks of foreign investing, emerging markets present
considerable additional risks, including potential instability of emerging
market countries and the increased susceptibility of emerging market economies
to financial, economic and market events.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY INSTITUTIONAL EMERGING MARKETS FUND.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for the Select Class shares of the Wells Fargo Montgomery
Institutional Emerging Markets Fund for periods prior to June 9, 2003, reflects
the performance of the single class of shares of the Montgomery Institutional
Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio (the accounting survivor of a merger of the
Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio and the Wells Fargo
Montgomery Institutional Emerging Markets Fund), its predecessor fund. Effective
at the close of business on June 6, 2003, certain of the Montgomery Funds were
reorganized into certain of the WELLS FARGO FUNDS.

WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND (the Fund) seeks
long-term capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, Wells Capital Management
LLC Incorporated
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE
Jerome "Cam" Philpott, CFA 12/30/94
Stuart Roberts
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 20.43%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges. The Fund's Class A shares
underperformed the Russell 2000(R) Index(2), which returned 21.69%, and
outperformed the Russell Midcap(R) Growth Index(3), which returned 17.58%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund outperformed the Russell Midcap(R) Growth Index but not the
Russell 2000(R) Index, which is a blend of value and growth stocks. That
suggests that value stocks outperformed growth stocks during the six-month
period, as investors remained cautious about the economy and global tensions.
Still, strong corporate earnings were the central force for positive stock
price performance for the period. As the six-month period drew to a close, stock
price valuations were compressed by concerns over higher interest rates,
political uncertainty and international terrorism.
The best performing Fund holdings for the six-month reporting period were
Countrywide Financial, a consumer finance company, Ask Jeeves, an Internet
search provider and Brunswick, famous for its bowling equipment. The Fund's
worst performing holdings for the period were all health care related:
Pharmaceutical Resources, MedImmune and Biovail.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We reduced the Fund's weighting in the consumer discretionary and energy
sectors while adding to the Fund's holdings in the technology, industrials and
financial services sectors. Upbeat economic reports would seem to favor the
latter group, as analysts forecast double-digit growth in corporate profits
through late 2004. The stock market's mini-correction in March made technology
and other cyclically sensitive areas of the market appear more attractive.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We continue to be optimistic regarding corporate earnings as well as
equity performance. However, we believe that the markets will continue to be
volatile and trade in a range as investors digest uncertainties regarding the
Presidential election, terrorism and higher interest rates. Overall, though, we
believe that strong company fundamentals will overcome these issues.
Stocks of medium-sized companies may be more volatile and less liquid, in
part because the issuers may be more vulnerable to adverse business or economic
events, than the stocks of larger, more established companies. In particular,
medium-sized companies may have limited product lines, markets and financial
resources, and may depend upon a relatively small management group. Some of the
medium-sized companies in which we invest may have more aggressive capital
structures, including higher debt levels, or are involved in rapidly growing or
changing industries, and/or new technologies.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY MID CAP GROWTH FUND.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Wells
Fargo Montgomery Mid Cap Growth Fund for periods prior to June 9, 2003, reflects
the performance of the Class R shares of the Montgomery Mid Cap Fund (the
accounting survivor of a merger of the Montgomery Mid Cap Fund and the Wells
Fargo Montgomery Mid Cap Growth Fund), its predecessor fund. Effective at the
close of business on June 6, 2003, certain of the Montgomery Funds were
reorganized into certain of the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance shown for the
Class A shares reflects the performance of the predecessor fund's Class R
shares, adjusted to reflect applicable sales charges. Performance shown for the
Class B and Class C shares reflects the performance of the predecessor fund's
Class R shares, adjusted to reflect each Class's fees and expenses.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY SMALL CAP FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY SMALL CAP FUND (the Fund) seeks long-term
capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Wells Capital Management
Incorporated
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE
Jerome "Cam" Philpott, CFA 7/13/90
Stuart Roberts
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 24.58%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the Russell 2000(R)
Index(2), which returned 21.69%, and outperforming the Russell 2000 Growth(R)
Index(3), which returned 18.97% over the same period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Strong corporate earnings were the central force behind the positive
performance for the six-month period. Small-cap stocks posted significant gains,
although stock prices declined in March due to concerns over higher interest
rates and international terrorism.
Stocks in the technology, industrial and telecommunications sectors were
the most notable contributors to the Fund's performance, while health care
stocks underperformed. The Fund's best performing holdings for the period were
Nextel Partners, a provider of digital mobile communications services; Ask
Jeeves, an Internet search engine; and GTECH Holdings, a global information
technology company.
In the health care sector, Accredo Health, a specialty distributor, was a
strong stock on both earnings growth and a strategic joint venture with Medco
Health Solutions, a pharmacy benefit manager. We sold the Fund's entire position
when the shares achieved our price target. Covance, a clinical research
organization, also had good earnings, and we continue to see accelerating demand
for its services as large pharmaceutical companies outsource research to
specialized providers.
Fund holdings that were the poorest performers included Advisory Board,
Inspire Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceutical Resources. Pharmaceutical Resources,
a generic drug company, was a poor stock for the portfolio because investors
were concerned that one of its key drugs will face increased generic
competition. We continue to hold the shares in the Fund's portfolio because we
believe that competition is further away than broadly perceived, and we believe
that the company has pending product approvals that should offset earnings
pressure from competitive entrants.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We reduced the Fund's weighting in the consumer discretionary and energy
sectors while adding to the Fund's holdings in the technology, industrials and
materials sectors. The industrial sector includes a wide variety of companies,
especially business services. For example, Sirva Inc., a leading corporate
relocation company, reported strong earnings as the company was able to
significantly increase operating margins.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are generally optimistic that corporate profits will continue to exceed
expectations and will be the primary contributor to equities' performance. The
central issues that we believe will create tension are uncertainties regarding
potentially higher interest rates, the Presidential race, terrorism and energy
prices. While we cannot control these macroeconomic events, we can control
careful stock selection and will continue to do so.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class
shares of the WELLS FARGO MONTGOMERY SMALL CAP FUND for periods prior to June 9,
2003, reflects the performance of the Class R shares of the Montgomery Small Cap
Fund (the accounting survivor of a merger of the Montgomery Small Cap Fund's
Class P and Class R and the Wells Fargo Montgomery Small Cap Fund's Class A),
its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of business on June 6, 2003,
certain of the Montgomery Funds were reorganized into certain of the WELLS FARGO
FUNDS. Performance shown the Class A shares reflects the performance of the
predecessor fund's Class R shares, adjusted to reflect applicable sales charges.
Performance shown for the Class B and Class C shares of the Fund for periods
prior to June 9, 2003, reflects the performance of the predecessor fund's Class
R shares, adjusted to reflect each Class's fees and expenses. Performance shown
for the Institutional Class shares of the Fund for periods prior to June 9,
2003, reflects the performance of the predecessor fund's Class R shares, and
includes expenses that are not applicable to the Institutional Class shares.
(2) The Russell 2000(R) Index measures performance of the 2,000 smallest
companies in the Russell 3000(R) Index, which represents approximately 8% of the
total market capitalization of the Russell 3000(R) Index. You cannot invest
directly in an index.
(3) The Russell 2000 Growth(R) Index measures the performance of those Russell
2000 companies with higher price-to-book ratios and higher forecasted growth
values. You cannot invest directly in an index.
(4) The ten largest equity holdings are calculated based on the market value of
the securities divided by total market value of the Fund.
(5) Sector distribution and portfolio characteristics are subject to change.
(6) The chart compares the performance of the Wells Fargo Montgomery Small Cap
Fund Class A and Institutional Class shares for the most recent 10 years with
the Russell 2000(R) Index and Russell 2000 Growth(R) Index. The chart assumes a
hypothetical investment of $10,000 in Class A and Institutional Class shares and
reflects all operating expenses and, for Class A shares, assumes the maximum
initial sales charge of 5.75%.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO SIFE SPECIALIZED FINANCIAL SERVICES FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo SIFE Specialized Financial Services Fund (the Fund) seeks
long-term capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Wells Capital Management
Incorporated
FUND MANAGER INCEPTION DATE
Michael J. Stead 07/02/62
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 15.11%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07%. The Fund's Class A shares distributed $0.01 per
share in dividend income and $0.85 in capital gains during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Our main concern going into the six-month period was the absence of growth
in corporate lending, combined with a slowdown in mortgage refinancing activity.
This was one reason the Fund had an overweight position in the broker/dealer
sector, where cost cutting, combined with increased trading revenues and
investment banking fee income, provided acceptable earnings growth. The Fund
also continued to hold an overweight position in the credit card finance
sub-sector with considerable success.
Fund holdings that were top performers included Capital One Financial
(credit cards) and Banc One, which has a merger pending with J.P. Morgan Chase.
In addition to credit cards, Capital One Financial is involved in unsecured
installment lending and automobile financing. Fund holdings that detracted from
performance included Union Bank of California and Zions Bancorp, a community
banking concern.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Although we expanded the Fund's holdings to invest in broker/dealers and
credit card finance, the Fund's largest position remained in the regional
banking sector, where merger and acquisition activity was heating up.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's holdings have been selected based on our belief that they will
produce above-average earnings growth rates and, ultimately, share price
appreciation. In addition, the Fund continues to hold smaller community banks
that should benefit from the continued consolidation in the financial services
sector, and we are cautiously expanding the Fund's exposure to the insurance
sub-sector.
The Wells Fargo SIFE Specialized Financial Services Fund focuses in the
financial services sector. Because of the Fund's focus in the financial services
sector, it will be more susceptible than Funds that do not concentrate their
investments to market and other conditions affecting a single group of
industries. The financial services sector involves additional risks because the
sector may be more impacted by changing interest rates and/or economic
conditions and is generally subject to greater regulation than other industries
in the overall stock markets.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
manager. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo SIFE Specialized Financial Services Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Wells
Fargo SIFE Specialized Financial Services Fund for periods prior to February 25,
2002, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B and Class C of the SIFE Trust
Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of business on February 22,
2002, the SIFE Trust Fund was reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS.
Performance shown for the Class A shares prior to February 25, 2002, reflects
the performance of the predecessor portfolio's Class A-1 shares. Performance
shown for the Class B and Class C shares of the Fund for the period form May 1,
1997, to February 22, 2002, reflects the performance of the Class A shares
adjusted to reflect each Class's fees and expenses.
(2) The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held common stocks
representing, among others, industrial, financial, utility and transportation
companies listed or traded on national exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
You cannot invest directly in an index.
(3) The ten largest holdings are calculated based on the market value of the
securities divided by total market value of the Fund.
(4) Sector distribution and portfolio characteristics are subject to change.
(5) The chart compares the performance of the Wells Fargo SIFE Specialized
Financial Services Fund Class A shares for the most recent ten years with the
S&P 500 Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical investment of $10,000 in Class A
shares and reflects all operating expenses and assumes the maximum initial sales
charge of 5.75%.

positive performance for the six-month period. Stock prices declined in March,
however, due to concerns over higher interest rates and international terrorism.
Stock prices showed muted upside when earnings gains soundly beat expectations
and greater than expected losses on even modest earnings disappointments.
The best performing Fund holdings for the six-month reporting period were
Nextel Partners, Ask Jeeves and GTECH Holdings. Nextel Partners provides digital
mobile communications services using the Nextel brand name. Ask Jeeves offers
advanced Internet search technology to the public through advertiser-supported
sites on the Web. GTECH Holdings is a global information technology company
providing software, networks and professional services that facilitate
transaction processing.
The worst performing holdings were all health care related: Advisory
Board, Inspire Pharmaceuticals and Pharmaceutical Resources.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We reduced the Fund's weighting in the consumer discretionary and energy
sectors while adding to the Fund's holdings in the technology, industrials, and
materials sectors. The industrials sector includes a wide variety of companies,
especially business services. Sirva Inc., a leading corporate relocation
company, reported strong earnings, as the company was able to significantly
increase operating margins. Resources Connection, a staffing company, posted
strong results from increased demand for its services in an improving economy.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are generally optimistic that corporate profits will continue to come
in ahead of expectations. The central issues that we believe will create tension
are uncertainties regarding potentially higher interest rates, the presidential
election race, terrorism and energy prices.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Small Cap Growth Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
Performance shown for the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional Class
shares of the Wells Fargo Small Cap Growth Fund for periods prior to November 8,
1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B, Class C and Institutional
Class shares of the Stagecoach Small Cap Fund (the accounting survivor of a
merger of the Stagecoach Small Cap Fund, the Stagecoach Strategic Growth Fund
and the Norwest Advantage Small Company Stock Fund), its predecessor fund.
Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest
Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance shown
for the Class A shares of the Fund for periods prior to September 16, 1996,
reflects performance of the shares of the Small Capitalization Growth Fund for
BRP Employee Retirement Plans (an unregistered bank collective investment fund),
a predecessor portfolio with the same investment objective and policies as the
Fund. Performance shown for the Class B shares of the Fund for periods prior to
September 16, 1996, reflects performance of the shares of the predecessor
portfolio, with expenses adjusted to reflect Class B sales charges and expenses.
Performance shown for the Class C shares of the Fund for periods prior to
December 15, 1997, reflects the performance of the Class B shares, which as
discussed above, reflects performance of the shares of the predecessor portfolio
for periods prior to September 16, 1996, adjusted for Class C sales charges and
expenses.

WELLS FARGO SMALL CAP OPPORTUNITIES FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Small Cap Opportunities Fund (the Fund) seeks long-term
capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Schroder Investment Management
North America Inc.
FUND MANAGER INCEPTION DATE
Jenny B. Jones 08/01/93
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund returned 21.85%(1) for the six-month period ended March 31, 2004,
outperforming the Russell 2000(R) Index(2), which returned 21.69%. The Fund
distributed no dividend income and $0.96 per share in capital gains during the
period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Consumer staples, technology, health care, automobiles, and
transportation, consumer discretionary and producer durables outperformed, due
primarily to good stock selection. The Fund underperformed in integrated oils,
materials and processing, other energy, utilities and financial services, due to
less advantageous stock selection.
The Fund's best performing holdings were NBTY, a manufacturer and retailer
of nutritional supplements; Network Associates, a supplier of computer security
solutions; and Autodesk, a design software company serving customers in building
design, civil engineering and other industries.
A poor performer for the Fund was Petco Animal Supplies, a specialty
retailer of pet food, supplies and services that has consistently exceeded
profit forecasts. When the retailer's 2003 same-store sales number merely met
expectations, the stock declined. We remain confident about the company's
business prospects.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We added about 50 companies to the portfolio during the period from a wide
variety of industries and sectors. Examples include California Pizza Kitchen,
Corrections Corp. of America and Renal Care Group. The Fund focuses in the
mid-to-higher end of the market capitalization range in companies that have
sound fundamentals and generate earnings.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Looking further ahead to when the Russell 2000(R) Index changes
composition in June, we see that the median market capitalization will likely be
moving up and away from those smaller stocks that were strong performers in
2003. We believe that this trend bodes well for the Fund, which is concentrated
in larger, fundamentally sound small-cap stocks rather than micro-cap holdings.
The Fund will continue to seek companies that we believe are otherwise
misunderstood or under-followed, and possess strong fundamentals and drivers for
price appreciation.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.

Performance shown for Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo Small
Cap Opportunities Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects
performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Small Cap
Opportunities Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of business
November 5, 1999, the Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the WELLS

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO SMALL COMPANY GROWTH FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Small Company Growth Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide
long-term capital appreciation by investing in smaller domestic
companies.

HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 18.38%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the Russell
2000(R) Index(2), which returned 21.69%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After performing well in the final months of 2003, the Fund lost some
ground in the first quarter of 2004 as value stock outperformed growth stocks
for the six-month period. As a result, the Fund trailed the gains of the Russell
2000(R) Index, which is comprised of both value and growth stocks. In addition,
the Fund's gains were constrained in part by the weak performance of its
technology holdings.
Concerns about the state of the economy and the risk of terrorism
overwhelmed the strong earnings reports and the improving outlook for many of
the Fund's holdings. While the majority of the Fund's stocks met or exceeded
earnings growth expectations during the reporting period, they showed muted
upside movement even though earnings gains soundly beat expectations. Inversely,
the Fund's holdings showed greater than expected losses on even modest earnings
disappointments.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Purchases and sales during the six-month period followed our disciplined
bottom-up process, and resulted in only minor changes to the Fund's overall
sector weightings, growth prospects and valuation profile. At the end of the
period, 52% of the Fund's assets were invested in small, rapidly growing,
"discovery phase" companies, with the balance in "overlooked stocks"
characterized by rapid near-term earnings gains or undervalued assets. The
Fund's largest sector exposure was in consumer at 22%, followed by health care,
business services, technology and financial services. The Fund's companies had
22% forecast earnings growth and were selling for 18 times forward earnings,
characteristics consistent with our historical average and disciplined
investment approach.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corporate earnings could outperform expectations during the next year
because both corporate managers and sell-side analysts have been conservative in
their forecasts since the market peak. Non-economic factors could be considered
a bigger than usual wild card this year, particularly the presidential election
and the risk of terrorist strikes, both here and abroad. While these larger
issues impact the overall direction of the stock market, the relative
attractiveness of individual companies ultimately dictates investment success.
As always, we will continue to seek to capitalize on the information in
efficiencies surrounding individual companies that may lead to attractive buying
opportunities.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Small Company Growth Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
The Fund is a gateway feeder Fund that invests all of its assets in a single
master portfolio of Master Trust with a substantially similar investment
objective and substantially similar investment strategies. References to the
investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment
activities of the master portfolio in which it invests.
Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Class C shares of the Wells
Fargo Small Company Growth Fund for periods prior to January 30, 2004, reflects
the performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund, adjusted to
reflect applicable sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for the
Institutional Class shares of the Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999,
reflects performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage
Small Company Growth Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of
business November 5, 1999, the Stagecoach and Norwest Advantage Funds were
reorganized into the WELLS FARGO FUNDS. Performance of the Institutional Class
shares of the Fund prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a
collective investment fund adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses.
Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the
collective investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment
strategy that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The collective
investment fund's performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund's 1994 estimate
of its expense ratio for the first year of operations as a mutual fund,
including any applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or
expense reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act") nor subject to certain
investment limitations, diversification requirements or other restrictions
imposed by the 1940 Act or the Internal Revenue Code, which, if applicable, may
have adversely affected the Fund's performance results.
(2) The Russell 2000(R) Index is an unmanaged index that measures the
performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1000th and 3000th
largest in the market. You cannot invest directly in an index.
(3) Portfolio turnover rate represents the activity from the Fund's investment
in a single Master Portfolio.
(4) The ten largest equity holdings are calculated based on the market value of
the Master Portfolio securities allocable to the Fund divided by total market
value of the Fund. See Notes to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the
Master Trust.

WELLS FARGO SMALL COMPANY VALUE FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Wells Fargo Small Company Value Fund (the Fund) seeks to provide
long-term capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Peregrine Capital Management,
Inc.
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE
Tasso H. Coin, Jr., CFA 06/01/97
Douglas G. Pugh, CFA
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 20.33%(1), excluding sales charges, for
the six-month period ended March 31, 2004, underperforming the Russell 2000(R)
Index(2), which returned 21.69% during the same period. The Fund's Class A
shares distributed no dividend income and $0.48 per share in capital gains
during the period.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Small cap stocks that had higher growth and lower quality characteristics
were market leaders during the reporting period. The Fund's materials and
processing stocks were the top performers for the six months. Strong commodity
pricing helped earnings growth and subsequently, stock prices in this sector.
The Fund's consumer discretionary holdings also performed well during the
period, as consumer purchasing remained strong. On a relative basis, the Fund's
utilities holdings were the star performers, due to strong individual stock
selection.
The Fund's performance lagged that of its benchmark, primarily because of
our decision to underweight the more speculative corner of the financial
services sector. We believed that a recovering economy would eventually push
interest rates higher and put pressure on these financial stocks.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund is underweight primarily in the regional banks industry in the
financial services sector, as valuations are near their highs. The Fund is also
underweight in the utilities sector, as these stocks have been pushed higher
after the dividend tax cuts legislation took effect and investors actively
sought higher-yielding stocks. The Fund is overweight in technology and cyclical
companies, areas that are most sensitive and exposed to the economic recovery.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We believe that the economy will continue to improve and that the job
market will follow this recovery. Though valuations have moved to more normal
levels given the price recovery in stocks, valuations do remain below that of
the peak last seen in 1998. We believe that stocks may continue to move higher,
barring a slowdown in the economy or a major terror event. We continue to
believe that financial services' stock price performance is not sustainable, as
company fundamentals are not sufficiently strong to support it. Therefore, we
remain underweight in this sector.
There are additional risks associated with investments in smaller and/or
newer companies because their shares tend to be less liquid than securities of
larger companies. Further, shares of small and new companies are generally more
sensitive to purchase and sale transactions and changes in the issuer's
financial condition and, therefore, the prices of such stocks may be more
volatile than those of larger company stocks.

The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the Wells Fargo Small Company Value Fund.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
The Fund is a gateway feeder Fund that invests all of its assets in a single
master portfolio of Master Trust with a substantially similar investment
objective and substantially similar investment strategies. References to the
investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment
activities of the master portfolio in which it invests.
Performance shown for the Wells Fargo Small Company Value Fund Class A,
Class B and Institutional Class shares prior to January 31, 2002 and Class C
shares prior to August 31, 2002 in the average annual total return table
reflects the performance of the Wells Fargo Small Company Value Master
Portfolio, a master portfolio in which the Fund invests, adjusted to reflect the
fees and expenses of each share class of the Fund. The Wells Fargo Small Company
Value Master Portfolio, which incepted on June 1, 1997, has a substantially
identical investment objective and investment strategy as the Fund.
(2) The Russell 2000(R) Index is an unmanaged index that measures the
performance of the 2,000 companies that are between the 1000th and 3000th
largest in the market. You cannot invest directly in an index.
(3) Portfolio turnover rate represents the activity from the Fund's investment
in a single Master Portfolio.
(4) The ten largest equity holdings are calculated based on the market value of
the Master Portfolio securities allocable to the Fund divided by the total
market value of the Fund. See Notes to the Financial Statements for a discussion

for Class A shares, assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 5.75%.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED HEALTH SCIENCES FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED HEALTH SCIENCES FUND (the Fund) seeks
long-term capital appreciation.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC Dresdner RCM Global Investors
LLC
FUND MANAGER INCEPTION DATE
Selena A. Chaisson, M.D. 04/02/01
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 14.09%(1) for the six-month period
ended March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, outperforming the S&P 500
Index(2), which returned 14.07%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A major legislative concern has cast a long shadow over the health care
sector, particularly pharmaceuticals and biotechnology. After much anticipation,
however, Congress passed a Medicare drug benefit, the Medicare Drug Reform plan,
and most of the health care industry actually saw itself benefiting from the
bill's provisions. Indeed, the fourth quarter of 2003 brought a boost to "big
pharma," which saw an 8% increase in their valuations as news of the bill's
passage emerged.
By early 2004, the Fund's holdings in biotechnology proved beneficial for
the Fund, the most influential example being Biogen-Idec, which jumped more than
50% in price. The company announced positive research data from a drug that
treats multiple sclerosis, a disease that up to now has had limited treatment
options.
We continued to emphasize the managed care industry, which reported
better-than-expected profit results early in 2004. Another factor that boosted
the managed care industry was investor reaction to higher reimbursement rates, a
provision of the Medicare Drug Reform plan. Benefactors in the Fund's portfolio
included Aetna, United Healthcare and Wellpoint Health Networks.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
During the reporting period, following the release of positive trial data
showing the significant benefit of certain devices for heart failure patients,
we increased the Fund's holdings of larger medical technology companies that
specialize in these cardiovascular products. We also selectively purchased small
cap medical technology names in the faster growing segments of orthopedics and
lab diagnostics and equipment. We reduced the Fund's holdings in larger-cap
profitable biotechnology stocks that were more mature, as well as drug
distributors that were holding large inventories.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We are optimistic about the biotechnology industry, both in terms of
research breakthroughs as well as the potential for consolidation, which will
particularly benefit small cap biotechnology firms with one or two promising
drugs in their pipelines.
Medical technology continues to be among our favorite sub-sectors, as
demand for orthopedics and cardiovascular services boom. Unlike the big cap
pharmaceutical companies, which face long and risky paths to new product
approvals, the major medical technology companies have been able to introduce
premium-priced, high- quality technology products at a relatively rapid rate.
The WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED HEALTH SCIENCES FUND is a non-diversified fund
and entails additional risks. Non-diversified funds are more susceptible to
financial, market and economic events affecting the particular issuers and
industry sectors in which they invest. The health sciences sector involves
additional risks because the sector is rapidly changing and may be impacted by
such factors as government regulation, uncertain demand and the risk that
products may become obsolete. Foreign securities involve additional risks
including currency fluctuations, economic and political instability and market
illiquidity.

WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS PERFORMANCE AT A GLANCE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY FUND
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY FUND (the Fund) seeks long-term
capital appreciation by investing in domestic and foreign equity
securities of technology companies.
ADVISER SUB-ADVISER
Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC RCM Capital Management LLC
FUND MANAGERS INCEPTION DATE
Walter C. Price, Jr., CFA 09/18/00
Huachen Chen, CFA
HOW DID THE FUND PERFORM OVER THE SIX-MONTH REPORTING PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Fund's Class A shares returned 11.96%1 for the six-month period ended
March 31, 2004, excluding sales charges, underperforming the S&P 500 Index(2),
which returned 14.07%.
WHAT FACTORS AFFECTED THE FUND'S PERFORMANCE?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The latter part of 2003 was a period of strong performance for large cap
stocks, with Intel and Cisco Systems performing particularly well. Although the
Fund owned both Intel and Cisco, it did not have the same substantial
allocations as its peers, and thus underperformed on a relative basis.
The Fund's underweight position in semiconductor companies during the
fourth quarter also hurt relative performance for the six-month period.
Initially, during the early months of 2004, there was euphoria over the strong
results that were reported in January; but by the end of the reporting period,
there were again serious doubts about the durability and strength of the
recovery. Traders sold many of their technology stocks, and negative comments
and skepticism about the continuation of the technology stock surge were common.
We made up some lost ground for the Fund during early 2004 with such stock
selections as Yahoo! Japan and Softbank, two very successful Internet companies.
We reduced the Fund's holdings in Yahoo! Japan significantly, taking substantial
profits, as it has become one of the most valuable Internet companies in the
world.
WHAT CHANGES DID YOU MAKE TO THE PORTFOLIO HOLDINGS DURING THE PERIOD?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After the rally in technology stocks in late March, we have become
cautious about the sector in spite of the fact that business generally has been
good for most companies. We believe that the rates of gain for the economy and
for technology orders are unsustainably high, and will transition to more
moderate levels in the next six months. During the reporting period, we closely
examined the Fund's semiconductor holdings and pared back somewhat in the midst
of strong orders, because we believed that the industry may be peaking.
LOOKING AHEAD, WHAT IS YOUR STRATEGIC OUTLOOK?
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As the year progresses, we believe that investors will once again find
technology stocks attractive because the capital spending cycle is just getting
started and the rebound to normal levels could continue for many years. Over
half of capital spending is for technology products that improve productivity,
and the net level of capital spending is lower than it has been in 50 years.
The WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY FUND is a non-diversified fund and
entails additional risks. Non-diversified funds are more susceptible to
financial, market and economic events affecting the particular issuers and
industry sectors in which they invest. Technology stocks involve additional
risks because such companies are subject to extreme price and volume fluctuation
and investing in the securities of smaller, "start-up" technology companies can
result in significant losses because they may have more limited trading markets.
Foreign securities involve additional risks, including currency fluctuations,
economic and political instability and market illiquidity. Our active trading
investment strategy results in a higher-than-average portfolio turnover ratio
and increased trading expenses, and may generate higher short-term capital
gains.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The views expressed are as of March 31, 2004, and are those of the Fund's
managers. The views are subject to change at any time in response to changing
circumstances in the market and are not intended to predict or guarantee the
future performance of any individual security, market sector or the markets
generally, or the WELLS FARGO SPECIALIZED TECHNOLOGY FUND.
(1) The Fund's Adviser has committed through January 31, 2005 to waive fees
and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net
operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses
can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund's
returns would have been lower.
(2) The S&P 500 Index is an unmanaged index of 500 widely held common stocks
representing,among others, industrial, financial, utility and transportation
companies listed or traded on national exchanges or over-the-counter markets.
You cannot invest directly in an index.

The separate classes of shares offered by each Fund differ principally in

fees. Shareholders of each class bear certain expenses that pertain to that
particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of a Fund and earn
income from the portfolio, pro rata based on the average daily net assets of
each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined
separately for each class based on income and expenses
143

- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
allocable to each class. Realized gains and losses are allocated to each class
pro rata based upon the net assets of each class on the date realized. No class
has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates
generally result from the relative weightings of pro rata income and realized
gain allocations and from differences in separate class expenses, including
distribution, shareholding servicing and administration fees.
The Diversified Equity Fund, Diversified Small Cap Fund, Equity Income
Fund, Growth Equity Fund, Index Fund, Large Cap Appreciation Fund, Large Cap
Value Fund, Large Company Growth Fund, Small Company Growth Fund, and Small
Company Value Fund each seek to achieve its investment objective by investing
all investable assets in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each, a
"Master Portfolio", collectively, the "Master Portfolios") of Wells Fargo Master
Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each Master
Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in a
Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund
accounts for its investment in the Master Portfolios as partnership investments
and records daily its share of the Master Portfolio's income, expenses, and
realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the Master
Portfolios are in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund's
financial statements.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently
followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP") for investment companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities listed on The
Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
("NOCP"), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. In
the absence of any sale of such securities, and in the case of other securities,
including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in
60 days or less, the valuations are based on the latest quoted bid prices.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal
exchange in which the foreign investments are traded are expected to materially
affect the value of the investments, then those investments are fair valued
following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less generally are valued at
amortized cost. 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, which approximates market value.
Investments in the Master Portfolios are valued at their net asset value
at the close of business each day. Securities held in the Master Portfolios are
valued as discussed in the Notes to Financial Statements of the Master
Portfolios, which are included elsewhere in this report.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above
are valued at their fair value as determined by procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees.
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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain
dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not
assured.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
The accounting records are maintained in U.S. dollars. Assets, including
investment securities, and liabilities denominated in foreign currency are
translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing rates of exchange at the date of
valuation. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are
translated at the prevailing rate of exchange on the respective dates of such
transactions. Reported 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
144
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED) WELLS FARGO STOCK FUNDS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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, at fiscal period-end,
resulting from changes in exchange rates.
The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates and the
changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities at
fiscal period-end are not separately presented. Such changes are recorded with
net realized and unrealized gain from investments. Gains and losses from certain
foreign currency transactions are treated as ordinary income for U.S. federal
income tax purposes.
DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS
Net investment income, if any, is declared and distributed to shareholders
annually, with the exception of the Equity Income Fund and the SIFE Specialized
Financial Services Fund, for which net investment income, if any, is declared
and distributed quarterly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized
capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed at least annually.
For federal income tax purposes, a Fund may designate as capital gains
dividends the earnings and profits distributed to shareholders on the redemption
of fund shares during the year.
Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with the
applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The
timing and character of distributions made during the period from net investment
income or net realized gains may also differ from their ultimate
characterization for federal income tax purposes. To the extent that these
differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the
capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment. Temporary
differences do not require reclassifications.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes.
It is the policy of each Fund of the Trust to continue to qualify as a regulated
investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated
investment companies, as defined under subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code
(the "Code"), and to make distributions of 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 at March 31, 2004.
At September 30, 2003, estimated net capital loss carryforwards which are
available to offset future net realized capital gains were:

The capital loss carryforwards may include capital losses acquired from a
merger as discussed in Note 1.
The yearly utilization of any acquired capital loss is limited by the
Code.
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
The Fund(s) may enter into foreign currency forward contracts to protect
against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship
between foreign currencies and the U.S. dollar, or between foreign currencies. A
forward contract is an agreement between two counterparties for future delivery
or receipt of currency at a specified price. Risks arise from the possible
inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts and from
movements in currency values. Realized gains or losses are recognized when the
transaction is completed. Contracts which have been offset but have not reached
their settlement date are included in unrealized gains and losses.
FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Fund(s) may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market
changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the
securities. A futures contract is an agreement between parties to buy or sell a
security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a
Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government
obligations or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum "initial
margin" requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract.
Such receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by
the Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Pursuant to regulations and/or published positions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for long futures positions, the Fund is required
to segregate highly liquid securities as permitted by the SEC in connection with
futures transactions in an amount generally equal to the entire value of the
underlying contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities. At March 31, 2004, the following Fund(s) held futures contracts:

INVESTMENTS SOLD SHORT
Certain Funds may engage in short-selling to the extent permitted by the
Fund's investment policies in attempting to increase investment return. In a
short sale transaction, the Fund borrows a security which it then delivers to
settle a sale. The Fund is obligated to replace the security borrowed by
purchasing the security at current market value at a future date. The Fund will
incur a loss if the price of the security increases between the date of the
short sale and the date on which the Fund replaces the borrowed security. The
Fund realizes a gain if the price of the security declines between those dates.
Until the Fund replaces the borrowed security, it will maintain daily, a
segregated account with a broker and /or custodian, of cash and /or other liquid
securities sufficient to cover its short position. Securities sold short at
March 31, 2004, if any, and their related market values and proceeds are set
forth in the Schedule of Investments Sold Short.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Fund(s) may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in
pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds 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 Fund in the event that such Fund is delayed or prevented
from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a
possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in
which a Fund seeks to assert its rights.
SECURITY LOANS
The Fund(s) may loan securities in return for securities and cash
collateral, which is invested in various short-term fixed income securities. A
Fund may receive compensation for lending securities in the form of fees or by
retaining a portion of interest on the investment securities or cash received as
collateral. A Fund also continues to receive interest or dividends on the
securities loaned. Security loans are secured at all times by collateral. The
collateral is equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities
loaned plus accrued interest when the transaction is entered into. If the
collateral falls to 100%, it will be brought back to 102%. Gain or loss in the
market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan
are reflected in the value of the Fund. The risks from securities lending are
that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return
the securities when due or when called for by the Fund. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
the Funds' custodian, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds and
receives for its services 40% of the revenues earned on the securities lending
activities and incurs all expenses. The value of the securities on loan and the
value of the related collateral at March 31, 2004 are shown on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
At March 31, 2004, cash collateral was invested as follows:

WRITTEN OPTIONS
An option is a right to buy or sell a particular security at a specified
price within a limited period of time. The writer of the option, in return for a
premium received from the seller, has the obligation to sell (in the case of a
call option) or buy (in the case of a put option) the underlying security of the
contract. The premium received in cash from writing options is recorded as an
asset with an equal liability that is adjusted to reflect the option's value.
The premium received from writing options which expire is recorded as realized
gains. The premium received from writing options which are exercised or closed
is offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the closing transaction to
determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium
reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased. Options are valued
based on their quoted daily settlement prices.
Risks could arise from entering into written options transactions from the
potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, the
potential inability to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid
secondary market, and from unexpected movements in interest or exchange rates or
securities values.

7.MISCELLANEOUS
FOREIGN TAXES PAYABLE
Under Indian tax law, U.S. mutual funds are subject to taxation on capital
gains realized upon the sale of Indian securities. Mutual fund industry practice
has long been to net long-term capital losses against taxable short-term capital
gains. However, the Indian tax statute was amended in mid-2002 to disallow such
netting, and the Indian tax authorities have subsequently assessed additional
taxes on many U.S. mutual funds based upon a retroactive application of the tax
statute. For the taxable years since their inception dates, each of the Wells
Fargo Montgomery Emerging Markets Focus Fund (the "Focus Fund"), as successor to
the Montgomery Emerging Markets Fund, and the Wells Fargo Montgomery
Institutional Emerging Markets Fund (the "Emerging Markets Fund"), as successor
to the Montgomery Institutional Series: Emerging Markets Portfolio, has been
assessed approximately $590,000 and $52,000, respectively. Each Fund filed
administrative appeals to these assessments in April 2003.
On August 1, 2003, the Focus Fund received a demand for one-half of the
$590,000 to stay the imposition of additional penalties while the assessment was
under appeal, and an agreement was reached on August 8, 2003 for the Focus Fund
to make such payment. The Emerging Markets Fund has not received a similar
demand for payment to date. On August 20, 2003, Funds Management was advised
that the Indian tax authorities had rescinded the earlier agreement for one-half
payment and demanded payment of the entire assessment of $590,000.
On August 20, 2003, the Funds made the determination to accrue the entire
amount at issue for each Fund as a tax expense. The Funds continue to pursue the
administrative appeals process and will reverse such accruals in the event of a
favorable disposition.

1. ORGANIZATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wells Fargo Master Trust (the "Trust") is registered as an open-end
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"). The Trust currently has 16 separate investment
portfolios. These financial statements present the Disciplined Growth Portfolio,
Equity Income Portfolio, Index Portfolio, International Equity Portfolio, Large
Cap Appreciation Portfolio, Large Cap Value Portfolio, Large Company Growth
Portfolio, Overseas Portfolio, Small Cap Index Portfolio, Small Company Growth
Portfolio, and Small Company Value Portfolio (each, a "Fund" and collectively,
the "Funds").
Interests in the Funds are sold without any sales charge in private
placement transactions to qualified investors, including open-end management
investment companies.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently
followed in the preparation of the financial statements of the Trust, are in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America ("GAAP") for investment companies.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
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.
SECURITY VALUATION
Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of
regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, which is usually 4:00 p.m.
(Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities
exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities listed on The
Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price
("NOCP"), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. In
the absence of any sale of such securities, and in the case of other securities,
including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in
60 days or less, the valuations are based on the latest quoted bid prices.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S.
dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
If trading or events occurring in other markets after the close of the principal
exchange in which the foreign investments are traded are expected to materially
affect the value of the investments, then those investments are fair valued
following procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.
Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less generally are valued at
amortized cost. 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, which approximates market value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above,
are valued at their fair value as determined by procedures approved by the Board
of Trustees.
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.
Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain
dividends from foreign securities, which are recorded as soon as the Fund is
informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is
recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not
assured.
FEDERAL INCOME TAXES
Each Fund of the Trust is treated as a separate entity for federal income
tax purposes. The Funds of the Trust 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 Fund is deemed to have been "passed through" to the interestholders
in proportion to their holdings of the Fund regardless of whether such interest,
dividends, or gains have been distributed by the Fund.
FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Fund(s) may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market
changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the
securities. A futures contract is an agreement between parties to buy or sell a
security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a
Fund is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government
obligations or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum "initial
margin" requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded.
Pursuant to the contract, the Fund agrees to receive from or pay to the broker
an
241
WELLS FARGO MASTER PORTFOLIOS NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such
receipts or payments are known as "variation margin" and are recorded by the
Fund as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Fund
records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the
contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed.
Pursuant to regulations and/or published positions of the Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "SEC") for long futures positions, the Fund is required
to segregate highly liquid securities as permitted by the SEC in connection with
futures transactions in an amount generally equal to the entire value of the
underlying contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the
possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value
of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying
securities. At March 31, 2004, the following Fund(s) held futures contracts:
Net Unrealized
Expiration Notional Appreciation
Fund Contracts Type Date Contract Value (Depreciation)
INDEX PORTFOLIO 219 Long S&P 500 Index June 2004 61,588,275 (124,600)
SMALL CAP INDEX PORTFOLIO 48 Long Russell 2000 Index June 2004 14,174,400 345,000
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Fund(s) may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in
pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds 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 Fund in the event that such Fund is delayed or prevented
from exercising its rights to dispose of the collateral, including the risk of a
possible decline in the value of the underlying obligations during the period in
which a Fund seeks to assert its rights.
SECURITY LOANS
The Fund(s) may loan securities in return for securities and cash
collateral, which is invested in various short-term fixed income securities. A
Fund may receive compensation for lending securities in the form of fees or by
retaining a portion of interest on the investment securities or cash received as
collateral. A Fund also continues to receive interest or dividends on the
securities loaned. Security loans are secured at all times by collateral. The
collateral is equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities
loaned plus accrued interest when the transaction is entered into. If the
collateral falls to 100%, it will be brought back to 102%. Gain or loss in the
market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan
are reflected in the value of the Fund. The risks from securities lending are
that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return
the securities when due or when called for by the Fund. Wells Fargo Bank, N.A.,
the Funds' custodian, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds and
receives for its services 40% of the revenues earned on the securities lending
activities and incurs all expenses. The value of the securities on loan and the
value of the related collateral at March 31, 2004 are shown on the Statement of
Assets and Liabilities.
At March 31, 2004, cash collateral was invested as follows:
Repurchase Short-Term Mid-Term Money
