Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and focused portfolio risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

The manager has contractually committed through June 30, 2019, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the expenses at the amount shown. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses from unaffiliated funds in which the affiliated master portfolio invests, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense cap. All other acquired fund fees and expenses from the affiliated master portfolio are included in the expense cap. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without this cap, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectus.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019. The Fund also outperformed the JP Morgan EMBI Global Index for the same period.

 

 

Performance of the Fund and the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index was particularly strong in the latter stage of the reporting period, helped by a dovish pivot from the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) amidst signs of a slowdown in global growth.

 

 

Several smaller African issuers were at the forefront of this late-stage recovery, with the bonds of Nigeria, Kenya, and Senegal doing particularly well. Languishing at the bottom of the returns table over the reporting period were Argentina, Zambia, and Mexico. Venezuela was wildly volatile but ended modestly positive.

 

 

With a number of new names from the Middle East being added to the benchmark, the Fund’s exposure to this region has risen. This has come largely at the expense of Eastern European issuers.

Market commentary

Absolute returns for the Fund and its benchmark were positive over the reporting period, with the final four months particularly strong. The asset fixed-income class benefited from a more cautious tone on monetary policy from the Fed in late 2018, with policymakers signaling a pause in interest rate hikes in light of a turndown in the global economy. Geopolitical risk remained elevated throughout the reporting period, with trade fears at the top of the list. Some index constituents, such as Venezuela, faced fierce domestic upheaval but there was limited spillover into other emerging markets. The U.S. dollar traded higher in the second quarter of 2018 before locking into a more sideways range versus other major currencies.

Global fixed income is at an interesting juncture, with interest rates having risen in the U.S. while Japan and core Europe lag. With the peak in growth now behind us, however, it’s difficult to see any developed market central bank tightening monetary policy in the months to come. Global inflation remains tepid. Taken together, these factors suggest that the backdrop for fixed-income investing has turned more positive. This could support inflows into emerging markets. However, numerous geopolitical and trade risks warn that increased volatility could remain a feature of global markets. Investors will need to look through short-term noise and focus instead on longer-term value.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund seeks to replicate, rather than precisely duplicate, the total return of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index before fees and expenses through a sample replication process. The index is a composite index representing an unleveraged investment in emerging market bonds that is broadly based across the spectrum of emerging market bonds and includes reinvestment of income. One cannot invest directly in the index, and timing of cash flows and other practical issues may alter the Fund’s tracking error, which is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks the index to which it is benchmarked.

Rather than purchase every security in the index, the underlying portfolio uses an optimization process that seeks to balance the replication of index performance with the minimization of security transaction costs. Using a stratified sampling technique, securities are selected and purchased in an effort to construct a portfolio that exhibits risk factors and other characteristics and performance of the index without incurring the level of transaction costs that would be associated with purchasing every security in the index.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund is expected to concentrate its investments in quality-rating segments and countries to approximately the same extent that the index is concentrated in such quality-rating segments or countries. The components of the index may change over time, and the index may or may not be concentrated in certain quality-rating segments or countries at any particular time. We continually monitor the performance and composition of the index and adjust the Fund’s portfolio as necessary to reflect changes to the index.

Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Fund (continued)

 

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund underperformed the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net) as well as the MSCI Emerging Markets Index (Net) for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019.

 

 

The biggest detractors to performance for the Fund and the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net) included tilts toward small-cap names and positioning within the financials and health care sectors.

 

 

The biggest contributors to performance for the Fund and the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net) were our tilts toward low-beta and value stocks.

Market commentary

The Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net) fell 10.60% over the past 12 months, due to fears over economic slowdowns in major emerging nations such as China and Korea, concerns over protectionist policies between the U.S. and China, and a strengthening U.S. dollar. The sell-off favored low-beta securities, and it also favored stocks that were cheap relative to classic valuation metrics like earnings and sales. As a result, our tilts toward low-beta and value factors helped our performance relative to the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net). We were hurt by our tilts toward smaller stocks within the index, which tended to perform worse during the market decline. We were also negatively affected by performance in the health care and financials sectors.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund seeks to replicate rather than precisely duplicate the total return of the index before fees and expenses. The Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Index (Net) seeks to incorporate active insights while preserving the benefits of a passively managed strategy, such as high transparency, low turnover, and low fees. The investment philosophy employed within the factor-enhanced strategy is that security returns are driven by exposure to certain key factors such as valuation, quality, price momentum, relative size, and risk and that market inefficiencies caused by patterns of investor behavior and economic change can be exploited to earn excess returns.

The index is built on a systematic, rules-based methodology designed to build a portfolio of stocks that has exposure to characteristics that we expect will maximize the portfolio’s risk-adjusted performance. One cannot invest directly in the index, and the timing of cash flows and other practical issues alter the Fund’s tracking error, which is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks the index to which it is benchmarked. Under certain circumstances, such as the timing of cash flows and security trading, among other conditions, the Fund may outperform the index for periods of time, although the objective of the Fund is to replicate the return of the index before fund fees and expenses are deducted.

Rather than purchase every security in the index, the Fund uses an optimization process that seeks to balance the replication of index performance with the minimization of security transaction costs. Using a stratified sampling technique, securities are selected and purchased in order to construct a portfolio that exhibits risk factors and other characteristics of the index and seeks to match the performance of the index without incurring the level of transaction costs that would be associated with purchasing every security in the index.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund is expected to invest approximately the same percentage in each sector and country as the index does. The components of the index may change over time, and the index may or may not be concentrated in certain sectors or countries at any particular time. We continually monitor the performance and composition of the index and adjust the Fund’s portfolio as necessary to reflect changes to the index.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund outperformed the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Index (Net) as well as the MSCI World ex-USA Index (Net) for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019.

 

 

The biggest contributor to performance was our tilt toward low-beta stocks.

 

 

The biggest detractors to performance included tilts toward small-cap names within the index and positioning within the financials and consumer staples sectors.

Market commentary

The developed international stock universe was flat over the prior 12 months, though it experienced sharply negative performance prior to the market rally in the first two months of 2019. For the full period, the market experienced one of its most volatile years in the past decade, with choppiness increasing due to investor fears over rising interest rates; a slowing Chinese economy; and trade wars between the U.S., China, and Western Europe. International stocks also performed poorly for U.S.-based investors as a result of a consistently strengthening U.S. dollar. As a result, investors fled to low-beta stocks, and our tilts toward these issues helped our performance. We were hurt most by our tilt toward smaller names, which underperformed more than their mega-cap counterparts during the market sell-off in 2018. Moreover, our factor selection within the consumer staples and financials sectors hurt us the most of any market.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund seeks to replicate rather than precisely duplicate the total return of the index before fees and expenses. The Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Index (Net) seeks to incorporate active insights while preserving the benefits of a passively managed strategy, such as high transparency, low turnover, and low fees. The investment philosophy employed within the factor-enhanced strategy is that security returns are driven by exposure to certain key factors such as valuation, quality, price momentum, relative size, and risk and that market inefficiencies caused by patterns of investor behavior and economic change can be exploited to earn excess returns.

The index is built on a systematic, rules-based methodology designed to build a portfolio of stocks that has exposure to characteristics that we expect will maximize the portfolio’s risk-adjusted performance. One cannot invest directly in the index, and the timing of cash flows and other practical issues alter the Fund’s tracking error, which is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks the index to which it is benchmarked. Under certain circumstances, such as the timing of cash flows and security trading, among other conditions, the Fund may outperform the index for periods of time, although the objective of the Fund is to replicate the return of the index before fund fees and expenses are deducted.

Rather than purchase every security in the index, the Fund uses an optimization process that seeks to balance the replication of index performance with the minimization of security transaction costs. Using a stratified sampling technique, securities are selected and purchased in order to construct a portfolio that exhibits risk factors and other characteristics of the index and seeks to match the performance of the index without incurring the level of transaction costs that would be associated with purchasing every security in the index.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund is expected to invest approximately the same percentage in each sector as the index does. The components of the index may change over time, and the index may or may not be concentrated in certain sectors at any particular time. We continually monitor the performance and composition of the index and adjust the Fund’s portfolio as necessary to reflect changes to the index.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on fund distributions or the redemption of fund shares. Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when redeemed, may be worth more or less than their original cost. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to focused portfolio risk and index tracking risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund underperformed the Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Large Cap Index for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019, while it outperformed the Russell 1000® Index for the same period.

 

 

The biggest detractors to performance included tilts toward value stocks and positioning in the information technology sector.

 

 

The biggest contributors to performance included tilts toward low-beta, high-quality stocks and positioning in the financials and health care sectors.

Market commentary

U.S. equities, as measured by the Wells Fargo Large Cap USA Equity Index7, finished the period up 5.1% though most of this positive performance came during the market rally in the first two months of 2019. For the full period, the market experienced one of its most volatile years in the past decade, with choppiness increasing due to investor fears over rising interest rates; a slowing Chinese economy; and trade wars between the U.S., China, and Western Europe. As a result, investors fled toward less volatile, higher-quality stocks, and our tilts toward these issues helped our performance. In particular, these tilts helped us avoid big declines within the financials and health care sectors, segments of which tend to be more cyclical in nature. We were hurt most by our tilt away from the large technology names in the index, which rank poorly on size and value characteristics. Overall, our tilt toward value stocks was the largest detractor from performance.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The Fund is exposed to focus portfolio risk, index tracking risk, and foreign investment risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service, and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying holdings of the affiliated master portfolio and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the Fund’s portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the total market value of fixed income securities held by the affiliated master portfolio. If a security was rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by two of three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus (+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.

Wells Fargo High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (continued)

 

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Wells Fargo U.S. High Yield Bond Index, for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019, and underperformed the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Corporate High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Index for the same period.

 

 

For the Fund and the Wells Fargo U.S. High Yield Bond Index, CCC-rated bonds tended to be detractors relative to other quality-rating sectors due to the substantial sell-off of risky assets in the fourth quarter of 2018. B-rated bonds were the best-performing rating category, followed closely by BB-rated bonds.

 

 

From a sector perspective, less-cyclical sectors, including pharmaceuticals, health care, cable satellite, and wireless, outperformed relative to other sectors in the Fund and the Wells Fargo U.S. High Yield Bond Index during the period. Energy-related sectors, including oil-field services and independent energy, underperformed the index.

Market commentary

The first half of the reporting period was characterized by an extension of the historically low volatility that prevailed throughout 2017. Periods of low volatility in high-yield bond markets are common when the market is recovering from a spike in defaults such as that which occurred in 2015 and 2016 following the oil price crash that began in late 2014. The increase in defaults culled from the market certain bonds that were issues by some of the most over-leveraged and highest-cost structure companies, particularly in the energy sector. While energy remains a significant component of the high-yield index, it tends to now be populated with better-capitalized, lower-cost-structure companies, many of which were investment-grade-rated before entering high yield as fallen angels. These more resilient companies are not surprisingly less sensitive to oil price volatility. In fact, from the beginning of the reporting period through early October 2018, energy sectors significantly outperformed the Wells Fargo U.S. High Yield Bond Index as oil prices steadily rose.

In addition to the market stress released by the default cycle of 2015 and 2016, there are technical factors contributing to the sluggish market volatility. The size of the high-yield bond market reached a peak in 2014 and has been shrinking ever since. This was primarily driven by rising stars outnumbering fallen angels and because the majority of below-investment-grade issuance has shifted to the leveraged loan market. At the same time, the significant coupon income high-yield portfolios have generated has more than offset outflows and supported demand. These factors resulted in suppressed spread volatility for high-yield bonds and allowed valuations to grind tighter until the fourth quarter of 2018.

Despite all of the good news, high-yield spreads convincingly broke out of their tight trading range of between 300 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) and 400 bps of option-adjusted spread in November, reaching a recent wide of 537 bps on January 3, 2019. The move was so swift that spreads widened more than 200 bps in the three months leading up to that day. While volatility is the norm in high yield, it is less common for spreads to widen more than 200 bps within a three-month period. And when spreads do widen that far that fast, there is very often a sharp rally. This is, of course, exactly what happened as spreads tightened approximately 150 bps by the end of February 2019.

The lower-quality rating categories underperformed higher-quality categories during the fourth quarter sell-off and throughout the year, as is common when risk-off behavior drives weak high-yield performance. The worst-performing sectors were oil-field services and independent energy as oil prices collapsed from the mid-$70s per barrel to the low $40s. The best-performing sectors tended to be noncyclical and included pharmaceuticals, health care, cable satellite, and wireless. As expected, CCC-rated bonds have led the high-yield recovery since January 3, followed by B-rated bonds and then BB-rated bonds. However, CCC-rated outperformance has not fully offset its underperformance during the fourth-quarter sell-off, suggesting investors remain somewhat cautious about the high-yield market.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund seeks to replicate rather than precisely duplicate the total return of the Wells Fargo U.S. High Yield Bond Index, before fees and expenses. The index is a rules-based index designed to measure the performance of U.S.-dollar-denominated below-investment-grade corporate debt issued by U.S. or foreign issuers that have a remaining maturity

of at least one year, regardless of optionality. It is constructed to provide increased diversification and liquidity versus traditional passive high-yield bond indices. One cannot invest directly in the index. The timing of cash flows and other practical issues may alter the Fund’s tracking error, which is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks the index to which it is benchmarked.

Rather than purchase every security in the index, the underlying portfolios use an optimization process that seeks to balance the replication of index performance with the minimization of security transaction costs. Using a stratified sampling technique, securities are selected and purchased in an effort to construct a portfolio that exhibits risk factors and other characteristics of the index and seeks to match the performance of the index without incurring the level of transaction costs that would be associated with purchasing every security in the index.

Under normal circumstances, the Fund is expected to invest approximately the same percentage in each industry as the index does. The components of an index may change over time, and the index may or may not be concentrated in an industry at any particular time. We continually monitor the performance and composition of the index and adjust the Fund’s portfolio as necessary to reflect any changes to the index.

Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.

Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The Fund is exposed to foreign investment risk and focused portfolio risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Wells Fargo International Government Bond Index, and outperformed the Bloomberg Barclays Global Treasury ex-US Total Return Index for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019.

 

 

Absolute returns on both the Fund and the index were negative over the reporting period, with the bulk of the pain being felt in the second quarter of 2018 as yields rose and the U.S. dollar strengthened.

 

 

The pressure of rising yields and a stronger dollar was most evident in Italy, where worries about government stability and bank debt drove bond yields consistently upwards. At the other end of the spectrum, slower housing price growth worked to support bond prices in Australia and New Zealand.

 

 

European currencies were the weakest link over the reporting period. The Swedish krona and Polish zloty fared particularly poorly, with the Australian dollar also under pressure. The Thai baht and Singaporean dollar saw the smallest losses versus the U.S. dollar.

 

 

Geopolitical risks were a source of intermittent volatility, and this is likely to remain the case, in our view.

Market commentary

It’s been a volatile year for the global financial markets, with sentiment and risk appetite veering sharply between strength and weakness. This was particularly evident in the first half of the reporting period when bond yields tended to rise and the U.S. dollar tended to strengthen. Both of these factors were negative for overall Fund performance. The second half of the reporting period was notable for a steady retreat in economic growth optimism, which benefited sovereign bonds. This improvement in performance came about despite continued noise about trade wars and tariffs, elections, and the U.K.’s exit from the European Union.

Global fixed income is at an interesting juncture, with interest rates having risen in the U.S. while Japan and core Europe lag. With a peak in growth now behind us, however, it’s difficult to see any developed market central bank tightening monetary policy in the months to come. Global inflation remains tepid. Taken together, these factors suggest that the backdrop for fixed-income investing has turned more positive. However, numerous geopolitical and trade risks warn that increased volatility could remain a feature of global markets. Investors will need to look through short-term noise and focus instead on longer-term value.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund rather than precisely duplicate the total return performance of the Wells Fargo International Government Bond Index before fees and expenses. The index is designed to track the performance of local currency government debt of both developed and emerging market countries excluding the U.S. and is composed of fixed rate, non-U.S.-dollar-denominated bonds having a remaining maturity of at least one year, regardless of optionality, and an investment-grade rating or classification as investment grade by Bloomberg Index Services Limited.

The index selects and weights securities by evaluating them on a country, currency, and individual basis. The evaluation is intended to create a subset of the Wells Fargo International Government Bond Index by screening securities based on current and consensus expected trends in market conditions, valuations, and currencies to arrive at projections for yield curves (and hence bond returns) and currency returns. The screening process combined with return, volatility, correlation, and constraint analysis determines the final index constituency based on projected value, to be replicated via a sampling process.

Rather than purchase every security in the index, the underlying portfolio uses an optimization process that seeks to balance the replication of index performance with the minimization of security transaction costs. Using a stratified sampling technique, securities are selected and purchased in an effort to construct a portfolio that exhibits risk factors and other characteristics of the index and seeks to match the performance of the index without incurring the level of transaction costs that would be associated with purchasing every security in the index.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

 

The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Wells Fargo U.S. Core Bond Index, as well as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index for 12-month period that ended February 28, 2019.

 

 

Absolute returns were positive for the period for the Fund and the index, with noncorporate bonds outperforming the corporates.

 

 

The belly of the yield curve tended to outperform across sectors where rates were lower, as opposed to higher rates on the short end and flat rates further out the curve.

 

 

Within the corporate sector, financials outperformed utilities and industrials, and higher quality outperformed. Within the securitized sector, commercial mortgage-backed securities (CMBS) and mortgage pass-throughs outperformed asset-backed securities (ABS).

Market commentary

Range-bound rates and heightened risk asset volatility characterized the period

Most of the reporting period was characterized by range-bound rates further out the curve and higher volatility in risk assets relative to the prior reporting period. The U.S. Federal Open Market Committee (FOMC) raised the federal funds rate four times during the period, with the range ending the period at 2.25% to 2.50%. In the January 2019 statement, the FOMC emphasized patience on rate hikes and published forecasts showing an expected slower path of future rate hikes. It is also tapering reinvestments and has indicated that it could be flexible in its balance sheet normalization.

While the U.S. Treasury yield curve steepened between 10- and 30-year maturities, it was flatter between short- and long-term maturities. This was consistent with the FOMC raising rates on the front end of the curve while longer-term maturities remained range-bound. The difference between the 2-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at 57 basis points (bps; 100 bps equal 1.00%) from 88 bps at the beginning of the period, while the difference between the 10-year and 30-year U.S. Treasury yield ended the period at 36 bps from 26 bps at the outset of the period. Generally speaking, difference in the dimension of yield changes resulted in higher absolute returns in the belly of the curve where rates moved lower.

U.S. Treasuries outperformed other government-related sectors, with the exception of sovereign debt. Within corporates, BBB underperformed, led by a risk-off environment during the fourth quarter of 2018. Financials outperformed both industrials and utilities during the period. Within structured product, CMBS and mortgage-backed securities outperformed ABS.

Investment approach

The investment objective of the Fund seeks to replicate but not precisely duplicate the total return of the Wells Fargo U.S. Core Bond Index before fees and expenses through a sample replication process. The index is a rules-based index designed to track the performance of fixed-rate, taxable, U.S.-dollar-denominated bonds with an investment-grade rating or classified as investment grade. The corporate bond component of the index is constructed to provide increased diversification and liquidity versus traditional passive corporate credit indices.

One cannot invest directly in the index, and the timing of cash flows and other practical issues may alter the Fund’s tracking error, which is a measure of how closely a portfolio tracks the index to which it is benchmarked.

The Fund invests substantially all of its assets in two underlying portfolios: the Wells Fargo Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate ex-Corporate Portfolio and the Wells Fargo Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio. The Fund’s allocation to the two underlying portfolios will mirror the percentage weighting of the noncorporate and corporate sectors of the index and, in combination, the Fund will attempt to track the performance, liquidity, and diversification characteristics of the index.

As a shareholder of a Fund, you incur ongoing costs, including other Fund expenses. This example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in a Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the six-month period and held for the

entire period from September 1, 2018 to February 28, 2019.

Actual expenses

The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

These expenses were waived by the manager.

1. ORGANIZATION

Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Bond Fund (“Emerging Markets Bond Fund”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Fund (“Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Fund”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Fund (“Factor Enhanced International Fund”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Large Cap Fund (“Factor Enhanced Large Cap Fund”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Small Cap Fund (“Factor Enhanced Small Cap Fund”), Wells Fargo High Yield Corporate Bond Fund (“High Yield Corporate Bond Fund”), Wells Fargo International Government Bond Fund (“International Government Bond Fund”), and Wells Fargo U.S. Core Bond Fund (“U.S. Core Bond Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund, except International Government Bond Fund, is a diversified series of the Trust. International Government Bond Fund is a non-diversified series of the Trust.

Each Fund seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing all investable assets in separate diversified portfolios (collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each Fund, except U.S. Core Bond Fund, is a feeder fund in a master-feeder structure that invests substantially all of its assets in a single affiliated master portfolio with a substantially identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies. U. S. Core Bond Fund is a fund-of-funds that invests in substantially all of its assets in two affiliated Master Portfolios. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as a partnership investment and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios for the year ended February 28, 2019 are included in this report and should be read in conjunction with each Fund’s financial statements. As of February 28, 2019, each Funds in a master-feeder structure own the following percentages of the respective affiliated Master Portfolios:

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Notes to financial statements   Wells Fargo Funds     59  

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Funds may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.

Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are valued daily based on each Fund’s proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s net assets, which are also valued daily.

Investment transactions, income and expenses

Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios are recorded on a trade basis.

Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s interest and dividend income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains or losses. Each Fund also accrues its own expenses.

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date for each Fund as follows:

 

     Net
investment
income
   Net realized
gains

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

   Semi-annually    Annually

Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Fund

   Annually    Annually

Factor Enhanced International Fund

   Annually    Annually

Factor Enhanced Large Cap Fund

   Annually    Annually

Factor Enhanced Small Cap Fund

   Annually    Annually

High Yield Corporate Bond Fund

   Monthly    Annually

International Government Bond Fund

   Semi-annually    Annually

U.S. Core Bond Fund

   Monthly    Annually

Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Funds’ fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of each Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

Federal and other taxes

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.

Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the fiscal years since commencement of operations are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At February 28, 2019, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

Management does not receive an investment management or administration fee from each Fund. However, Funds Management also serves as the adviser to each affiliated Master Portfolio and is entitled to receive a fee from each affiliated Master Portfolio for those services.

Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to U.S. Core Bond Fund. Funds Management has engaged Wells Capital Management Incorporated (“WellsCap”), an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, as subadviser. WellsCap does not receive an annual fee for its services.

Funds Management has committed through June 30, 2019 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap each Fund’s expenses at 0.00%. Net expenses from affiliated Master Portfolios are included in the expense caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, each expense cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

The Funds seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing substantially all of their investable assets in affiliated Master Portfolio(s). Purchases and sales related to these investments have been calculated by aggregating the results of multiplying each Fund’s ownership percentage in the respective affiliated Master Portfolio by the corresponding affiliated Master Portfolio’s purchases and sales.

6. BANK BORROWINGS

The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Wells Fargo Master Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby each Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.

For the year ended February 28, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Funds under the agreement.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights 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.

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm   Wells Fargo Funds     65  

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE FUNDS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Bond Fund, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Fund, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Fund, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Large Cap Fund, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Small Cap Fund, Wells Fargo High Yield Corporate Bond Fund, Wells Fargo International Government Bond Fund, and Wells Fargo U.S. Core Bond Fund (collectively, the Funds), eight of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolios of investments, as of February 28, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and for the period from August 3, 2017 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2018, except for Wells Fargo International Government Bond Fund which is for the year then ended and for the period from October 31, 2017 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the period from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 28, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and transfer agent, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

 

LOGO

We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however, we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

These financial statements report on the following portfolios: Wells Fargo Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate ex-Corporate Portfolio (“Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate ex-Corporate Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio (“Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Portfolio (“Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Portfolio (“Factor Enhanced International Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Large Cap Portfolio (“Factor Enhanced Large Cap Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Small Cap Portfolio (“Factor Enhanced Small Cap Portfolio”), Wells Fargo High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio (“High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo International Government Bond Portfolio (“International Government Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio (“Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio”), Wells Fargo Strategic Retirement Bond Portfolio (“Strategic Retirement Bond Portfolio”), and Wells Fargo U.S. REIT Portfolio (“U.S. REIT Portfolio”) (each, a “Portfolio”, collectively, the “Portfolios”). Each Portfolio is a diversified series of the Trust and is structured as a partnership for for federal income tax purposes.

The Portfolios offer their shares to multiple affiliated funds rather than directly to the public.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Portfolio, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Securities valuation

All investments are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 4 p.m. Eastern Time), although the Portfolios may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.

Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

Equity securities and futures contracts that are listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market are valued at the official closing price or, if none, the last sales price. If no sale occurs on the principal exchange or market that day, a fair value price will be determined in accordance with the Portfolios’ Valuation Procedures.

Swap contracts are valued at the evaluated price provided by an independent pricing service or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.

The values of securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee at Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”).

Many securities markets and exchanges outside the U.S. close prior to the close of the New York Stock Exchange and therefore may not fully reflect trading or events that occur after the close of the principal exchange in which the foreign securities are traded, but before the close of the New York Stock Exchange. If such trading or events are expected to materially affect the value of such securities, then fair value pricing procedures approved by the Board of Trustees of the Portfolios are applied. These procedures take into account multiple factors including movements in U.S. securities markets after foreign exchanges close. Foreign securities that are fair valued under these procedures are categorized as Level 2 and the application of these procedures may result in transfers between Level 1 and Level 2. Depending on market activity, such fair valuations may be frequent. Such fair value pricing may result in net asset values that are higher or lower than net asset values based on the last reported sales price or latest quoted bid price. On February 28, 2019, such fair value pricing was used in pricing certain foreign securities in Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Portfolio.

Investments in registered open-end investment companies are valued at net asset value.

266   Wells Fargo Funds   Notes to financial statements

Investments which are not valued using the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has established a Valuation Committee comprised of the Trustees and has delegated to it the authority to take any actions regarding the valuation of portfolio securities that the Valuation Committee deems necessary or appropriate, including determining the fair value of portfolio securities, unless the determination has been delegated to the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. The Board of Trustees retains the authority to make or ratify any valuation decisions or approve any changes to the Valuation Procedures as it deems appropriate. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports on any valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee or the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee which may include items for ratification.

Foreign currency translation

The accounting records of each Portfolio are maintained in U.S. dollars. The values of other assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at rates provided by an independent foreign currency pricing source at a time each business day specified by the Wells Fargo Asset Management Pricing Committee. Purchases and sales of securities, and income and expenses are converted at the rate of exchange on the respective dates of such transactions. Net realized foreign exchange gains or losses arise from sales of foreign currencies, currency gains or losses realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions, and the difference between the amounts of dividends, interest and foreign withholding taxes recorded and the U.S. dollar equivalent of the amounts actually paid or received. Net unrealized foreign exchange gains and losses arise from changes in the fair value of assets and liabilities other than investments in securities resulting from changes in exchange rates. The changes in net assets arising from changes in exchange rates of securities and the changes in net assets resulting from changes in market prices of securities are not separately presented. Such changes are included in net realized and unrealized gains or losses from investments.

Participation notes

Each Portfolio may invest in participation notes to gain exposure to securities in certain foreign markets. Participation notes are issued by banks or broker-dealers and are designed to offer a return linked to a particular underlying foreign security. Participation notes involve transaction costs, which may be higher than those applicable to the underlying foreign security. The holder of the participation note is entitled to receive from the bank or broker-dealer, an amount equal to the dividend paid by the issuer of the underlying foreign security; however, the holder is not entitled to the same rights (i.e. dividends, voting rights) as an owner of the underlying foreign security. Investments in participation notes involve risks beyond those normally associated with a direct investment in an underlying security. The Portfolio has no rights against the issuer of the underlying foreign security and participation notes expose the Portfolio to counterparty risk in the event the counterparty does not perform. There is also no assurance there will be a secondary trading market for the participation note or that the trading price of the participation note will equal the underlying value of the foreign security that it seeks to replicate.

Forward foreign currency contracts

Each Portfolio may be subject to foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. A forward foreign currency contract is an agreement between two parties to purchase or sell a specific currency for an agreed-upon price at a future date. The Portfolio enters into forward foreign currency contracts to facilitate transactions in foreign-denominated securities and to attempt to minimize the risk to the Portfolio from adverse changes in the relationship between currencies. Forward foreign currency contracts are recorded at the forward rate and marked-to market daily. When the contracts are closed, realized gains and losses arising from such transactions are recorded as realized gains or losses on forward foreign currency contracts. The Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the counterparties to the contracts are unable to meet the terms of their contracts or if the value of the foreign currency changes unfavorably. The Portfolio’s maximum risk of loss from counterparty credit risk is the unrealized gains on the contracts. This risk may be mitigated if there is a master netting arrangement between the Portfolio and the counterparty.

When-issued transactions

Each Portfolio may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. A Portfolio records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Portfolio’s commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Portfolio begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

Futures contracts

Each Portfolio is subject to equity price risk and foreign currency risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Futures contracts are agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of


Table of Contents

 

Notes to financial statements   Wells Fargo Funds     267  

a commodity, financial instrument or currency at specified price and on a specified date. The Portfolio may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in security values and foreign exchange rates. The primary risks associated with the use of futures contracts are the imperfect correlation between changes in market values of securities held by the Portfolio and the prices of futures contracts, and the possibility of an illiquid market. Futures contracts are generally entered into on a regulated futures exchange and cleared through a clearinghouse associated with the exchange. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Portfolio since futures contracts are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures contracts against default.

Upon entering into a futures contracts, the Portfolio is required to deposit either cash or securities (initial margin) with the broker in an amount equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are paid to or from the broker each day equal to the daily changes in the contract value. Such payments are recorded as unrealized gains or losses and, if any, shown as variation margin receivable (payable) in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Should the Portfolio fail to make requested variation margin payments, the broker can gain access to the initial margin to satisfy the Portfolio’s payment obligations. When the contracts are closed, a realized gain or loss is recorded in

the Statements of Operations.

Swap contracts

Swap contracts are agreements between the Portfolio and a counterparty to exchange a series of cash flows over a specified period. Swap agreements are privately negotiated contracts between the Portfolio and a counterparty in the OTC market and may be entered into as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared (“centrally cleared swaps”) with a central clearinghouse.

For OTC swaps, any upfront premiums paid and any upfront fees received are shown as swap premiums paid and swap premiums received, respectively, in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities and amortized over the term of the contract. The daily fluctuations in market value are recorded as unrealized gains or losses on OTC swaps in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received or paid are recorded in the Statements of Operations as realized gains or losses, respectively. When an OTC swap is terminated, a realized gain or loss is recorded in the Statements of Operations equal to the difference between the proceeds from (or cost of) the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract, if any. Generally, the basis of the contract is the premium received or paid.

In a centrally cleared swap, immediately following execution of the swap contract, the swap contract is novated to a central counterparty (the “CCP”) and the Portfolio’s counterparty on the swap agreement becomes the CCP. Upon entering into a centrally cleared swap, the Portfolio is required to deposit an initial margin with the broker in the form of cash or securities. Securities deposited as initial margin are designated in the Portfolio of Investments and cash deposited is shown as cash segregated for centrally cleared swaps in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in market value of the contract (“variation margin”). The variation margin is recorded as an unrealized gain (or loss) and shown as variation margin receivable (or payable) on centrally cleared swaps in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Payments received from (paid to) the counterparty, including at termination, are recorded as realized gains (losses) in the Statements of Operations.

Credit default swaps

Each Portfolio is subject to credit risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objectives. Each Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps for hedging or speculative purposes to provide or receive a measure of protection against default on a referenced entity, obligation or index or a basket of single-name issuers or traded indexes. An index credit default swap references all the names in the index, and if a credit event is triggered, the credit event is settled based on that name’s weight in the index. Credit default swaps are agreements in which the protection buyer pays fixed periodic payments to the protection seller in consideration for a promise from the protection seller to make a specific payment should a negative credit event take place with respect to the referenced entity (e.g., bankruptcy, failure to pay, obligation acceleration, repudiation, moratorium or restructuring).

Each Portfolio may enter into credit default swaps as either the seller of protection or the buyer of protection. If the Portfolio is the buyer of protection and a credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either receive from the seller an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and deliver the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index, or receive a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index. If the Portfolio is the seller of protection and a credit event occurs, the Portfolio will either pay the buyer an amount equal to the notional amount of the swap and take delivery of


Table of Contents

 

268   Wells Fargo Funds   Notes to financial statements

the referenced security or underlying securities comprising the index or pay a net settlement of cash equal to the notional amount of the swap less the recovery value of the security or underlying securities comprising the index.

As the seller of protection, the Portfolio is subject to investment exposure on the notional amount of the swap and has assumed the risk of default of the underlying security or index. As the buyer of protection, the Portfolio could be exposed to risks if the seller of the protection defaults on its obligation to perform, or if there are unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates.

Certain credit default swap contracts entered into by the Portfolio provide for conditions that result in events of default or termination that enable the counterparty to the agreement to cause an early termination of the transactions under those agreements.

Security transactions and income recognition

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.

Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily based. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has been determined to be doubtful based on consistently applied procedures and the fair value has decreased. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectability of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date, except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the custodian verifies the ex-dividend date.

Income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

Federal and other taxes

Each Portfolio is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Portfolio is not required to pay federal income taxes on its net investment income and net capital gain as it is treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes. All interest, dividends, gains and losses of the Portfolio are deemed to have been “passed through” to the interestholders in proportion to their holdings of the Portfolio regardless of whether such interest, dividends and gains have been distributed by the Portfolio.

Each Portfolio’s income and federal tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the fiscal year since commencement of operations will be subject to examination by the federal revenue authority. Management has analyzed each Portfolio’s tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.

As of February 28, 2019, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes and the unrealized gains (losses) were as follows:

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of each Portfolio’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). Each Portfolio’s investments are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The inputs are summarized into three broad levels as follows:

 

 

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities

 

 

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar securities, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, etc.)

 

 

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Portfolio’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodologies used for valuing investments in securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each Portfolio’s assets and liabilities as of February 28, 2019:

an exchange or broker-dealer as collateral and allows a Portfolio to offset, with each counterparty, certain derivative financial instrument’s assets and/or liabilities with collateral held or pledged. Collateral requirements differ by type of derivative. Collateral or margin requirements are set by the broker or exchange clearinghouse for exchange traded derivatives while collateral terms are contract specific for over-the-counter traded derivatives. Cash collateral that has been pledged to cover obligations of a Portfolio under ISDA Master Agreements or similar agreements, if any, are reported separately in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Securities pledged as collateral, if any, are noted in the Portfolio of Investments. With respect to balance sheet offsetting, absent an event of default by the counterparty or a termination of the agreement, the reported amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities in the Statements of Assets and Liabilities are not offset across transactions between a Portfolio and the applicable counterparty. A reconciliation of the gross amounts on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities to the net amounts by counterparty, including any collateral exposure, is as follows:

7. BANK BORROWINGS

The Trust, along with Wells Fargo Variable Trust and Wells Fargo Funds Trust (excluding the money market funds), are parties to a $280,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby each Portfolio is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to each Portfolio based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.

For the year ended February 28, 2019, there were no borrowings by the Portfolios under the agreement.

8. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Trust’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Portfolios and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 updates the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by modifying or removing certain disclosures and adding certain new disclosures. The amendments are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. Early adoption is permitted. Management has adopted the removal and modification of disclosures early, as permitted, and will adopt the additional new disclosures at the effective date.

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium. The amendments require the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount; the discount continues to be amortized to maturity. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Management is currently evaluating the potential impact of this new guidance to the financial statements.

278   Wells Fargo Funds   Report of independent registered public accounting firm

TO THE SHAREHOLDERS OF THE PORTFOLIOS AND BOARD OF TRUSTEES OF WELLS FARGO MASTER TRUST:

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate ex-Corporate Portfolio, Wells Fargo Emerging Markets Bond Portfolio, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Portfolio, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced International Portfolio, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Large Cap Portfolio, Wells Fargo Factor Enhanced Small Cap Portfolio, Wells Fargo High Yield Corporate Bond Portfolio, Wells Fargo International Government Bond Portfolio, Wells Fargo Investment Grade Corporate Bond Portfolio, Wells Fargo Strategic Retirement Bond Portfolio, and Wells Fargo U.S. REIT Portfolio (collectively, the Portfolios), eleven of the portfolios constituting Wells Fargo Master Trust, including the portfolios of investments, as of February 28, 2019, and the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for the year then ended and for the period from May 23, 2017 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2018, except for Wells Fargo International Government Bond Portfolio which is for the year then ended and for the period from August 16, 2017 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2018, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Portfolios as of February 28, 2019, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years or periods from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods from the commencement of operations to February 28, 2019, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Portfolios’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Portfolios in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2019, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
