Notes to Financial Statements
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"). As of November 30, 2008, the Trust has 23 separate investment
portfolios. These financial statements present the Inflation-Protected Bond
Portfolio, Managed Fixed Income Portfolio, Stable Income Portfolio, and Total
Return Bond Portfolio (each, a "Fund" or a "Portfolio" and collectively, the
"Funds" or the "Portfolios").
Interests in the Funds are sold without any sales charge solely 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.
Under the Trust's organizational documents, their officers and directors are
indemnified against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of
their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the
Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of
indemnification clauses. The Trust's maximum exposure under these arrangements
is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Funds and, therefore,
cannot be estimated; however, based on experience, the risk of loss from such
claims is considered remote.
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. ("NASDAQ") are valued at the NASDAQ Official Closing
Price ("NOCP"), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales
price. If no sales price is shown on the NASDAQ, the bid price will be used. In
the absence of any sale of securities listed on the NASDAQ, and in the case of
other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt
securities maturing in 60 days or less, the price will be deemed "stale" and the
valuations will be determined in accordance with the Funds' Fair Valuation
Procedures.
Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars
using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation.
Certain fixed income securities with maturities exceeding 60 days are valued by
using a pricing service approved by the Trust's Board of Trustees. The service
uses market prices as quoted by an independent pricing service or by dealers in
these securities when, in the service's judgment, these prices are readily
available and are representative of the securities' market values. For some
securities, such prices are not readily available. These securities will
generally be fair valued using methods which may include consideration of yields
or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of
issue, indications as to values from dealers in securities, trading
characteristics and general market conditions.
Debt securities with original maturities of 60 days or less and other short-term
debt securities in which cash collateral received for securities loaned may be
invested, 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 established in good faith
and approved by the Board of Trustees.

FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS
The Funds adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements ("FAS 157"), effective January 1, 2008. In accordance with
FAS 157, fair value is defined as the price that a Fund would receive upon
selling an investment in a timely transaction to an independent buyer in the
principal or most advantageous market of the investment. FAS 157 established a
three-tier hierarchy to maximize the use of observable market data and minimize
the use of unobservable inputs and to establish classification of fair value
measurements for disclosure purposes. Inputs refer broadly to the assumptions
that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including
assumptions about risk. Inputs may be observable or unobservable. Observable
inputs are inputs that reflect the assumptions market participants would use in
pricing the asset or liability developed based on market data obtained from
sources independent of the reporting entity. Unobservable inputs are inputs that
reflect the reporting entity's own assumptions regarding the assumptions market
participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, based on the best
information available in the circumstances. The three-tier hierarchy of inputs
is summarized in the three broad Levels listed below.
- - Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical investments
- - Level 2 - other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for
similar investments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)
- - Level 3 - significant unobservable inputs (including the Fund's own
assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)
The following is a summary of the inputs used as of November 30, 2008 in valuing
the Funds' investments in securities:

Notes to Financial Statements
SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or
losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums
are amortized daily using the interest method.
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 are 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.
Management has analyzed the Funds' tax positions taken on federal income tax
returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of November 30, 2008,
no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds' financial
statements. The Funds' federal and state income and federal excise tax returns
for tax years for which the applicable statutes of limitations have not expired
(open tax years: May 31, 2005; May 31, 2006; May 31, 2007; May 31, 2008) are
subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of
revenue.
FUTURES CONTRACTS
The Funds 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.
As of November 30, 2008, the Fund listed below held the following future
contracts:
Net Unrealized
Expiration Notional Appreciation
PORTFOLIO Contracts Type Date Amount (Depreciation)
- --------- --------- -------------- ---------- ----------- --------------
MANAGED FIXED INCOME PORTFOLIO 245 Long U.S. Long Bond March 2009 $30,527,383 $706,289
TBA SALE COMMITMENTS
A Fund may enter into To Be Announced ("TBA") sale commitments to hedge its
portfolio positions or to sell mortgage-backed securities it owns under delayed
delivery arrangements. Proceeds of TBA sale commitments are not received until
the contractual settlement date. During the time a TBA sale commitment is
outstanding, equivalent deliverable securities, or an offsetting TBA purchase
commitment deliverable on or before the sale commitment date, are held as
"cover" for the transaction. Unsettled TBA sale commitments are valued at the
current market value of the underlying securities, generally according to the
procedures described under "Security valuation" above. The contract is
"marked-to-market" daily and the change in market value is recorded by the fund
as an unrealized gain or loss. If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the
acquisition of an offsetting purchase commitment, the fund realizes a gain or
loss. If the fund delivers securities under the commitment, the fund realizes a
gain or a loss from the sale of the securities based upon the unit price
established at the date the commitment was entered into. TBA sale commitments
outstanding at six-month period ended November 30, 2008, are listed after the
Fund's Portfolio of Investments.
114 Wells Fargo Advantage Master Portfolios
Notes to Financial Statements
SWAP CONTRACTS
The Funds may enter into various hedging transactions, such as interest rate
swaps to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of
its portfolio, to create synthetic adjustable-rate mortgage securities or for
other purposes. Swaps involve the exchange of commitments to make or receive
payments, e.g., an exchange of floating-rate payments for fixed rate payments.
The Funds record as an increase or decrease to realized gain/loss, the amount
due or owed by the Funds at termination or settlement. Swaps are valued based on
prices quoted by independent brokers. These valuations represent the net present
value of all future cash settlement amounts based on implied forward interest
rates or index values.
At November 30, 2008 the Funds had no open swap contracts.
MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTIONS
The Funds may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions with respect to
mortgage-backed securities issued by Government National Mortgage Association
(GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA) and Federal Home Loan
Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC). In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Fund
sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or
broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar
security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The
mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate
as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of
mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, a Fund
foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. A Fund is compensated by
the difference between the current sales price and the forward price for the
future purchase as well as by the earnings on the cash proceeds of the initial
sale. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the
securities subject to the contract. The Funds account for the dollar roll
transactions as purchases and sales.
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS
The Funds 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 Funds may loan securities in return for securities, irrevocable letters of
credit or 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 payable by the borrower or by retaining a portion of interest on the
investment securities purchased with cash received as collateral (after payment
of a "broker rebate fee" to the borrower). A Fund also continues to receive
interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Security loans are secured at
all times by collateral, although the loans may not be fully supported at all
times if, for example, the instruments in which cash collateral is invested
decline in value or the borrower fails to provide additional collateral when
required in a timely manner or at all. 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. The collateral supporting loans of domestic and
foreign equity securities and corporate bonds is remarked to at least 102% of
the marked value of the securities loaned (including any accrued interest) on a
daily basis, without taking into account any increase or decrease in the value
of instruments in which cash collateral is invested. Collateral supporting loans
of U.S. Government Securities is remarked to 102% of the loaned securities'
market value, without taking into account any increase or decrease in the value
of instruments in which cash collateral is invested, only if the given
collateral falls below 100% of the market value of the securities loaned plus
any accrued interest. Cash collateral received by a Fund pursuant to these loans
is generally invested on behalf of the Fund by the securities lending agent in
high-quality short-term debt investments (including money
Wells Fargo Advantage Master Portfolios 115
Notes to Financial Statements
market instruments) that have been evaluated and approved by the Fund's adviser
and are permissible investments for the Fund. Cash collateral is invested on
behalf of a Fund in a manner similar to the Fund's investment of its cash
reserves and the Fund bears all of the gains and losses on such investments. The
net asset value of a Fund will be affected by an increase or decrease in the
value of the securities loaned and by an increase or decrease in the value of
instruments in which cash collateral is invested. Another risk from securities
lending is that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required
or return the securities when due or when called for by the Fund. In either
case, a Fund could experience delays in recovering securities or collateral or
could lose all or part of the value of the loaned securities. Wells Fargo Bank,
N.A., the Funds'custodian, acts as the securities lending agent for the Funds
and receives for its services 25% of the revenues earned on the securities
lending activities (reduced from 30% effective September 1, 2007) and incurs all
expenses. The securities lending agent may make payments to borrowers and
placing brokers, who may not be affiliated, directly or indirectly, with the
Trust, the adviser or the distributor. For the six-month period ended November
30, 2008, Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. waived its share of revenues earned on
securities lending activities. The value of the securities on loan, the related
collateral and the liability to return the collateral at November 30, 2008, are
shown on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities.
WHEN-ISSUED TRANSACTIONS
Each Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or `when-issued'
basis. A Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will
segregate with the custodian qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make
payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued
basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the
settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the
underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the
contract.
STRUCTURED INVESTMENT VEHICLES
The Funds may invest in structured debt securities, such as those issued by
Structured Investment Vehicles, ("SIVs"). SIVs invest in a diversified pool of
underlying securities, which may include finance company debt and structured
finance assets, residential mortgage-backed securities, commercial
mortgage-backed securities, collateralized loan obligations, collateralized debt
obligations and other asset backed securities. The ability of a SIV to repay
debt depends primarily on the cash collections received from the SIV's
underlying asset portfolio, which may include certain assets such as subprime
mortgages that are subject to heightened risks of credit quality or market value
deterioration under the continuing adverse conditions in the U.S. credit
markets, and on the ability to obtain short-term funding through the issuance of
new debt. Investments in these securities present increased credit and liquidity
risks as there could be losses to a Fund in the event of credit or market value
deterioration in a SIV's underlying portfolio, mismatches in the timing of the
cash flows of the underlying asset interests and the repayment obligations of
maturing securities issued by a SIV, or a SIV's inability to issue new debt.
As of November 30, 2008, the following Funds owned certain of these types of
SIVs which are currently in default and valued at fair value in the Portfolio of
Investments or have been restructured following default, including the
percentage of each Fund's net assets invested in these securities:

5. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2008, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
161, "Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities-an
amendment of FASB Statement No. 133" ("SFAS 161"). SFAS 161 requires additional
discussion about the reporting entity's derivative instruments and hedging
activities, by providing for qualitative disclosures about the objectives and
strategies for using derivatives, quantitative data about the fair value of and
gains and losses on derivative contracts, and details of credit-risk-related
contingent features in their hedged positions. SFAS 161 is effective for
financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008
and interim periods within those years. As of November 30, 2008, Management is
continuing to evaluate the impact, if any, that adoption of SFAS 161 may have on
the financial statements.

============================================================
The Governance Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Trustees of the
registrant (the "Trust") has adopted procedures by which a shareholder of any
series of the Trust may submit properly a nominee recommendation for the
Committee's consideration.
The shareholder must submit any such recommendation (a "Shareholder
Recommendation") in writing to the Trust, to the attention of the Trust's
Secretary, at the address of the principal executive offices of the Trust.
The Shareholder Recommendation must be delivered to, or mailed and received at,
the principal executive offices of the Trust not less than forty-five (45)
calendar days nor more than seventy-five (75) calendar days prior to the date of
the Committee meeting at which the nominee would be considered.
The Shareholder Recommendation must include: (i) a statement in writing setting
forth (A) the name, age, date of birth, business address, residence address and
nationality of the person recommended by the shareholder (the "candidate"); (B)
the series (and, if applicable, class) and number of all shares of the Trust
owned of record or beneficially by the candidate, as reported to such
shareholder by the candidate; (C) any other information regarding the candidate
called for with respect to director nominees by paragraphs (a), (d), (e) and (f)
of Item 401 of Regulation S-K or paragraph (b) of Item 22 of Rule 14a-101
(Schedule 14A) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the
"Exchange Act"), adopted by the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the
corresponding provisions of any regulation or rule subsequently adopted by the
Securities and Exchange Commission or any successor agency applicable to the
Trust); (D) any other information regarding the candidate that would be required
to be disclosed if the candidate were a nominee in a proxy statement or other
filing required to be made in connection with solicitation of proxies for
election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules
and regulations promulgated thereunder; and (E) whether the recommending
shareholder believes that the candidate is or will be an "interested person" of
the Trust (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended) and, if
not an "interested person," information regarding the candidate that will be
sufficient for the Trust to make such determination; (ii) the written and signed
consent of the candidate to be named as a nominee and to serve as a Trustee if
elected; (iii) the recommending shareholder's name as it appears on the Trust's
books; (iv) the series (and, if applicable, class) and number of all shares of
the Trust owned beneficially and of record by the recommending shareholder; and
(v) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending
shareholder and the candidate and any other person or persons (including their
names) pursuant to which the recommendation is being made by the recommending
shareholder. In addition, the Committee may require the candidate to interview
in person and furnish such other information as it may reasonably require or
deem necessary to determine the eligibility of such candidate to serve as a
Trustee of the Trust.
