(Growth Balanced Fund)

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income.

Fees and Expenses

These tables are intended to help you understand the various costs and expenses you will pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund. You may qualify for sales charge discounts if you and your family invest, or agree to invest in the future, at least $50,000 in the aggregate in specified classes of certain Wells Fargo Advantage Funds®. More information about these and other discounts is available from your financial professional and in "A Choice of Share Classes" and "Reductions and Waivers of Sales Charges" on pages 27 and 29 of the Prospectus and "Additional Purchase and Redemption Information" on page 53 of the Statement of Additional Information.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (WFA Allocation Funds - Retail) (Growth Balanced Fund)	Class A		Class B	Class C
Maximum sales charge (load) imposed on purchases (as a percentage of offering price)	5.75%		none	none
Maximum deferred sales charge (load) (as a percentage of offering price)	none	[1]	5.00%	1.00%

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (expenses that you pay each year as a percentage of the value of your investment)

Annual Fund Operating Expenses (WFA Allocation Funds - Retail) (Growth Balanced Fund)		Class A	Class B	Class C
Management Fees		0.25%	0.25%	0.25%
Distribution (12b-1) Fees		none	0.75%	0.75%

Fee Waivers		0.16%	0.16%	0.16%
Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver	[1]	1.20%	1.95%	1.95%

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that operating expenses remain the same as in the tables above. The example also assumes that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver shown above will only be in place for the length of the current waiver commitment. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example (Growth Balanced Fund) (WFA Allocation Funds - Retail) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	690	966	1,262	2,103
Class B	698	946	1,319	2,147
Class C	298	646	1,119	2,429

Expense Example, No Redemption (Growth Balanced Fund) (WFA Allocation Funds - Retail) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class B	198	646	1,119	2,147
Class C	198	646	1,119	2,429

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 107% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state, local or foreign taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax-exempt investors or investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) Plans or Individual Retirement Accounts. After-tax returns are shown only for the Class A shares. After-tax returns for the Class B and Class C shares will vary.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 115% of the average value of its portfolio.

(Growth Balanced Fund)

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return, consisting of capital appreciation and current income.

Fees and Expenses

These tables are intended to help you understand the various costs and expenses you will pay if you buy and hold shares of the Fund.

Shareholder Fees (fees paid directly from your investment)

Shareholder Fees (Growth Balanced Fund)	Administrator Class (WFA Allocation Funds - Administrator)

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that operating expenses remain the same as in the tables above. The example also assumes that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver shown above will only be in place for the length of the current waiver commitment. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example (Growth Balanced Fund) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Administrator Class (WFA Allocation Funds - Administrator)	97	356	636	1,432

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 107% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities; and

• 20% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns.

Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities and 20% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities. Such a neutral target allocation, in which a much higher percentage of the Fund's total assets are in fixed income securities (versus a much lower percentage of the Fund's total assets in equity securities) is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to produce more stable, less volatile returns in most investment environments. Consequently, we believe that the Fund has taken a relatively more "conservative" approach in its target allocation in its balance between equity and fixed income investments than a hypothetical less "conservative" fund more heavily weighted toward equity securities and less weighted toward fixed income securities.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, including quantitative techniques, valuation formulas and optimization procedures, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles. As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that operating expenses remain the same as in the tables above. The example also assumes that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver shown above will only be in place for the length of the current waiver commitment. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example (Growth Balanced Fund) (WFA Allocation Funds - Retail) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years
Class A	690	966	1,262	2,103
Class B	698	946	1,319	2,147
Class C	298	646	1,119	2,429

Class C	198	646	1,119	2,429

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 107% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 115% of the average value of its portfolio.

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other mutual funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that operating expenses remain the same as in the tables above. The example also assumes that the Total Annual Fund Operating Expenses After Fee Waiver shown above will only be in place for the length of the current waiver commitment. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions your costs would be:

Expense Example (Conservative Allocation Fund) (USD $)	1 Year	3 Years	5 Years	10 Years

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions,when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 124% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities; and

• 20% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities and 20% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities. Such a neutral target allocation, in which a much higher percentage of the Fund's total assets are in fixed income securities (versus a much lower percentage of the Fund's total assets in equity securities) is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to produce more stable, less volatile returns in most investment environments. Consequently, we believe that the Fund has taken a relatively more "conservative" approach in its target allocation in its balance between equity and fixed income investments than a hypothetical less "conservative" fund more heavily weighted toward equity securities and less weighted toward fixed income securities.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, including quantitative techniques, valuation formulas and optimization procedures, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles. As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 107% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Risk Lose Money [Text]

rr_RiskLoseMoney

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 115% of the average value of its portfolio.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 60% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities; and

• 40% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 60% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities and 40% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities, which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to produce more stable, less volatile returns in most investment environments. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced", with the bias in the target allocation slightly in favor of fixed income securities to be a "moderate" investment strategy.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles, intended in the aggregate to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities; and

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 80% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities and 20% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities. Such a neutral target allocation, in which a much higher percentage of the Fund's total assets are in fixed income securities (versus a much lower percentage of the Fund's total assets in equity securities) is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to produce more stable, less volatile returns in most investment environments. Consequently, we believe that the Fund has taken a relatively more "conservative" approach in its target allocation in its balance between equity and fixed income investments than a hypothetical less "conservative" fund more heavily weighted toward equity securities and less weighted toward fixed income securities.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios.

The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, including quantitative techniques, valuation formulas and optimization procedures, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles. As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

Strategy [Heading]

Principal Investment Strategies

Strategy Narrative [Text Block]

rr_StrategyNarrativeTextBlock

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is as follows:

• 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities; and

• 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities.

The Fund is a gateway fund that uses a "multi-style" investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. "Style" means either an approach to selecting investments, or a type of investment that is selected for a portfolio. Currently, the Fund's portfolio combines the different equity and fixed income investment styles of several master portfolios. We may also invest in additional or fewer master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Advantage Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities.

The Fund's "neutral" target allocation is 65% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities and 35% of the Fund's total assets in fixed income securities which is consistent with the strategy of the Fund to seek potentially greater returns in most investment environments than a hypothetical fund with a higher allocation to fixed income securities, although the Fund may experience potentially higher volatility in its returns when compared to such fund. We consider the neutral target allocation of the Fund to be "balanced," with the bias in the target allocation toward the growth style within the equity allocation of the Fund to be determinative of use of the descriptive style term "growth" in the Fund's title.

The equity portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles by investing in a variety of underlying portfolios. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce the risk associated with the use of a single style, which may move in and out of favor during the course of a market cycle. The majority of the Fund's equity portion is divided equally between large cap core styles, large cap value styles and large cap growth styles. The remainder is invested in small cap styles and international styles, providing broad market capitalization and regional exposure.

The fixed income portion of the Fund employs a variety of investment styles. The blending of multiple investment styles is intended to reduce price and return volatility, and deliver more consistent returns. The majority of the Fund's fixed income portion is allocated to master portfolios which represent various U.S. dollar-denominated investment grade debt styles having dollar-weighted average effective durations of between approximately one year to six years.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Risk [Heading]

rr_RiskHeading

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.

In addition, certain of the fixed income and equity master portfolios in which the Fund may invest may employ a variety of derivative instruments such as futures, options and swap agreements. To the extent that one or more master portfolios is invested in such derivatives, the Fund will be exposed to the risks associated with such investments.

We attempt to enhance the returns of the Fund by using an asset allocation model that employs various analytical techniques, to assess the relative attractiveness of equity and fixed income investments and to recommend changes in the Fund's target allocations. We use futures contracts to implement target allocation changes determined by the model, rather than physically reallocating assets among investment styles.

As part of managing the Fund's level of risk, both in absolute terms and relative to its benchmark, we may make changes to the target allocations among different investment styles at any time. When the percentage of Fund assets that we invest in each master portfolio temporarily deviates from the target allocations due to changes in market value, we may use cash flows or effect transactions to reestablish the target allocations.

Principal Investment Risks

Risk Narrative [Text Block]

rr_RiskNarrativeTextBlock

An investment in the Fund is not a deposit of Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below, including loss of money.

Counter-Party Risk. A Fund may incur a loss if the other party to an investment contract, such as a derivative or a repurchase or reverse repurchase agreement, fails to fulfill its contractual obligation to the Fund.

Debt Securities Risk. The issuer of a debt security may fail to pay interest or principal when due, and changes in market interest rates may reduce the value of debt securities or reduce the Fund's returns.

Derivatives Risk. The use of derivatives such as futures, options and swap agreements, can lead to losses, including those magnified by leverage, particularly when derivatives are used to enhance return rather than offset risk.

Futures Risk. Because the futures utilized by a Fund are standardized and exchange-traded, where the exchange serves as the ultimate counterparty for all contracts, the primary credit risk on futures contracts is the creditworthiness of the exchange itself. Futures are also subject to market risk, interest rate risk (in the case of futures contracts relating to income producing securities) and index tracking risk (in the case of stock index futures).

Growth Style Investment Risk. Growth stocks may be more expensive relative to the values of other stocks and carry potential for significant volatility and loss.

Issuer Risk. The value of a security may decline because of adverse events or circumstances that directly relate to conditions at the issuer or any entity providing it credit or liquidity support.

Leverage Risk. Leverage created by borrowing or certain investments, such as derivatives and reverse repurchase agreements, can diminish the Fund's performance and increase the volatility of the Fund's net asset value.

Liquidity Risk. A security may not be able to be sold at the time desired or without adversely affecting the price.

Management Risk. There is no guarantee of the Fund's performance or that the Fund will meet its objective. The market value of your investment may decline and you may suffer investment loss.

Market Risk. The market price of securities owned by the Fund may rapidly or unpredictably decline due to factors affecting securities markets generally or particular industries.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value when defaults on the underlying mortgage or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of changing interest rates. When interest rates decline, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities may require the Fund to reinvest such prepaid funds at lower prevailing interest rates, resulting in reduced returns.

Multi-Style Management Risk. The management of the Fund's portfolio using different investment styles can result in higher transaction costs and lower tax efficiency than other funds which adhere to a single investment style.

Options Risk. An investment in options may be subject to greater fluctuation than an investment in the underlying instruments themselves. A Fund that purchases options is subject to the risk of a complete loss of premiums, while a Fund that writes options could be in a worse position than it would have been had it not written the option. There can be no assurance that a liquid market will exist when a Fund seeks to close out an option position.

Regulatory Risk. Changes in government regulations may adversely affect the value of a security. An insufficiently regulated industry or market might also permit inappropriate practices that adversely affect an investment.

Swaps Risk. Swap agreements are derivative instruments that can be individually negotiated and structured to address exposure to a variety of different types of investments or market factors. Depending on their structure, swap agreements may increase or decrease a Fund's exposure to long- or short-term interest rates, foreign currency values, mortgage securities, corporate borrowing rates, or other factors such as security prices or inflation rates.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Value Style Investment Risk. Value stocks may lose value and may be subject to prolonged depressed valuations.
