LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

August 2010

 


W. Douglas Munn

President and Chief Executive Officer

Dear Valued Shareholder:

We are pleased to provide you with this semiannual report for Asset Allocation Trust and Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund for the six-month period that ended June 30, 2010 (the “period”). Signs of economic improvement moderated during the period, and the financial markets experienced their first significant correction since the powerful rally that began in March 2009.

In the United States, economic growth moderated during the period but remained solid as the economic recovery appeared to remain on track. Gross domestic product returned to positive growth in the third quarter of 2009, after having contracted for four consecutive quarters for the first time in at least 60 years. The consensus among economists was that the recession that began in December 2007 had likely ended during the summer of 2009. However, questions remained over the sustainability of the recovery, and the National Bureau of Economic Research had not declared an official end to the recession by the end of the period.

The equity markets saw a significant shift in sentiment during the period. The strong rally that began in March 2009 continued through April 2010, but growing concerns about the strength of global economic growth resulted in a rapid correction in May and June. Volatility, as measured by the Chicago Board Options Exchange Volatility Index (VIX), declined during the early months of the period to the lows of early 2008 but then spiked in May to levels last seen in early 2009. Although volatility moderated in June, the VIX remained elevated through the end of the period.

Despite the macroeconomic concerns, strong corporate earnings provided support for the domestic equity markets through the end of the first-quarter reporting season in April 2010. Approximately three-quarters of the companies in the S&P 500 Index exceeded analysts’ estimates for the first quarter of 2010.

As the earnings season ended, however, investor focus shifted from improving corporate fundamentals to macroeconomic concerns about sovereign debt, slowing economic growth in China, and fear of a potential double-dip U.S. recession. Those concerns led to a significant correction in the equity markets during May and June 2010. For the period, the S&P 500 Index and the tech-heavy NASDAQ Composite Index each fell 6.6%, while the Dow Jones Industrial Average declined 5.0%.

Overseas, concerns about a possible default in Greek sovereign debt caused weakness in the euro, dampening returns from the region in U.S. dollar. Indeed, there was no

LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS continued

shortage of fears during the second quarter of the period, as the European sovereign debt crisis persisted, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico remained uncontained, and equity markets sustained a significant correction from their late-April highs. In fact, nearly all stock markets around the globe posted sizable losses, with the exception of a handful of emerging markets countries, such as Singapore, Peru, and Indonesia.

Fixed-income markets, on the other hand, performed quite well, aided by widespread nervousness among both professional and individual investors and by large investor flows into bond funds. Nominal Treasury securities were among the best-performing sectors of the bond market, as weak economic reports kept near-term inflation fears muted and expectations for the Federal Reserve Board to keep short-term rates near zero remained intact.

While fixed-income markets posted positive total returns, upward pressure on yields began to emerge during the period. In March, several U.S. Treasury auctions experienced weaker-than-expected demand. Late in the period, yields on bonds of several corporate issuers even slipped below those of comparable Treasury securities.

During the period, the investment managers of Asset Allocation Trust and Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund paid careful attention to risk management while carefully assessing market trends. As always, the team sought to identify and exploit asset-class mispricings among all investable asset classes both overseas and in the United States.

Although the period saw renewed market volatility, we believe that the significant rebound from March 2009 through April 2010 underscores the importance of maintaining a focus on long-term investment goals so as not to miss potential periods of strong recovery. Although periods of volatility can present challenges, experience has taught us that maintaining a long-term investment strategy based on individual goals and risk tolerance can be an effective way to plan for the future.

As always, we want to thank you for choosing Evergreen Investments. We appreciate your confidence in us.

Sincerely,

 


W. Douglas Munn

Notice to Shareholders:

At a Special Meeting of Shareholders held in June 2010, shareholders of Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund approved the reorganization of Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund with the Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund. Accordingly, at the close of business on July 16, 2010, the net assets of Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund were acquired by the Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund, in exchange for shares of the Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund. Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund was the accounting and performance survivor of the reorganization. As a result, the accounting and performance history of Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund is carried forward in the financial statements of the Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund. Further information regarding this transaction can be found in the section entitled “Additional Information” under the heading “Special Meeting of Shareholders.”

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

FUND AT A GLANCE continued

Historical performance for Classes A, B, C, I and R prior to 10/3/2002 is based on the performance of Class III of the fund’s predecessor fund, GMO Global Balanced Allocation Fund. Prior to 10/3/2002, returns have been adjusted downward to reflect the Evergreen fund’s higher direct fund operating expenses including 12b-1 fees in effect at its inception. These fees were 1.06% for Class A, 1.81% for Classes B and C, 0.81% for Class I and 1.31% for Class R. 12b-1 fees are 0.25% for Class A, 0.50% for Class R and 1.00% for Classes B and C. Class I does not and Class III of the predecessor fund did not pay a 12b-1 fee. Historical performance for Class R from 10/3/02 to 10/10/2003 is based on the performance of Class A and has not been adjusted to reflect the effect of the 12b-1 fee for Class R. If these fees had been reflected, returns for Class R would have been lower.

The returns shown for Class B shares do not reflect the conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares after eight years.

Class B shares are closed to new investments by new and existing shareholders.

Returns reflect expense limits previously in effect, without which returns would have been lower.

Class I shares are only offered, subject to the minimum initial purchase requirements, in the following manner: (1) to investment advisory clients of EIMC (or its advisory affiliates), (2) to employer- or state-sponsored benefit plans, including but not limited to, retirement plans, defined benefit plans, deferred compensation plans, or savings plans, (3) to fee-based mutual fund wrap accounts, (4) through arrangements entered into on behalf of the Evergreen funds with certain financial services firms, (5) to certain institutional investors, and (6) to persons who owned Class Y shares in registered name in an Evergreen fund on or before December 31, 1994 or who owned shares of any SouthTrust fund in registered name as of March 18, 2005 or who owned shares of Vestaur Securities Fund as of May 20, 2005.

Class I shares are only available to institutional shareholders with a minimum of $1 million investment, which may be waived in certain situations.

Class R shares generally are available only to 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans, defined benefit plans and non-qualified deferred compensation plans.

The fund’s investment objective may be changed without a vote of the fund’s shareholders.

Foreign investments may contain more risk due to the inherent risks associated with changing political climates, foreign market instability and foreign currency fluctuations. Risks of international investing are magnified in emerging or developing markets.

Small and mid cap securities may be subject to special risks associated with narrower product lines and limited financial resources compared to their large cap counterparts, and, as a result, small and mid cap securities may decline significantly in market downturns and may be more volatile than those of larger companies due to the higher risk of failure.

The return of principal is not guaranteed due to fluctuation in the fund’s NAV caused by changes in the price of individual bonds held by the underlying funds and the buying and selling of bonds by the underlying funds. Bond funds have the same inflation, interest rate and credit risks as the individual bonds held by the underlying funds. Generally, the value of bond funds rises when prevailing interest rates fall, and falls when interest rates rise.

Asset-backed and mortgage-backed securities are generally subject to higher prepayment risks than other types of debt securities, which can limit the potential for gain in a declining interest rate environment and increase the potential for loss in a rising interest rate environment. Mortgage-backed securities may also be structured so that they are particularly sensitive to interest rates.

Derivatives involve additional risks including interest rate risk, credit risk, the risk of improper valuation and the risk of non-correlation to the relevant instruments they are designed to hedge or to closely track.

High yield, lower-rated bonds may contain more risk due to the increased possibility of default.

Leverage may disproportionately increase a fund’s portfolio losses and reduce opportunities for gain when interest rates, stock prices, or currency rates are changing.

Because the fund invests primarily in other mutual funds, the fund will incur fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder of the underlying funds.

For more information regarding the expenses of the underlying funds, see the fund’s prospectus.

ABOUT YOUR FUND’S EXPENSES

The Example below is intended to describe the fees and expenses borne by shareholders and the impact of those costs on your investment.

Example

As a shareholder of the fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads), redemption fees and exchange fees; and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) fees and other fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the 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 period and held for the entire period from January 1, 2010 to June 30, 2010.

The example illustrates your fund’s costs in two ways:

• Actual expenses

The section in the table under the heading “Actual” provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in these columns, 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 appropriate column for your share class, in the column entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.

• Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

The section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” 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 and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads), redemption fees or exchange fees. Therefore, the section in the table under the heading “Hypothetical (5% return before expenses)” is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

Asset Allocation Trust

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Asset Allocation Trust was organized as a statutory trust under the laws of the state of Delaware on June 14, 2005 and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, as a no-load, open-end management investment company. Asset Allocation Trust issues its shares of beneficial interest solely in private placement transactions that do not involve any “public offering” within the meaning of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Asset Allocation Trust is only offered to Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund, a diversified series of Evergreen Equity Trust, an open-end, management investment company, which was organized as a Delaware statutory trust on September 18, 1997.

Asset Allocation Trust operates as a “fund-of-funds” which primarily invests in shares of GMO-managed open-end mutual funds (“underlying funds”). Each underlying fund’s accounting policies are outlined in the underlying fund’s financial statements, which are available upon request.

Asset Allocation Trust owns 100% of GMO Fixed Income Fund I, LLC (“GMO LLC”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Asset Allocation Trust and GMO LLC (together referred to as the “Trust”), including the holdings of GMO LLC.

GMO LLC was organized on November 7, 2008 as a limited liability company to provide investors a managed investment in securities of any kind, including, without limitation, asset-backed securities and other fixed income investments. GMO LLC may also hold cash and cash equivalents.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Fund should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.

a. Valuation of investments

Investments in the underlying open-end mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share as reported by the underlying funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading.

Securities are valued by brokers which use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market value obtained from yield data relating to investments or securities with similar characteristics.

Short-term securities of sufficient credit quality with remaining maturities of 60 days or less at the time of purchase are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value.

 

 

22

 


Asset Allocation Trust

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

Securities for which market quotations are not readily available or not reflective of current fair value are valued at fair value as determined by the investment advisor in good faith, according to procedures approved by the Board of Trustees.

The valuation techniques used by the Trust to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.

b. Investment transactions and investment income

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from underlying funds are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is recorded on the accrual basis and includes accretion of discounts and amortization of premiums. To the extent debt obligations are placed on non-accrual status, any related interest income may be reduced by writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of interest has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. If the issuer subsequently resumes interest payments or when the collectibility of interest is reasonably assured, the debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses resulting from investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

c. Federal and other taxes

The Trust intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains (which have already been offset by available capital loss carryovers). Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required. The Trust’s income and excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal, Massachusetts and Delaware revenue authorities.

d. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

3. ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”), a private company founded in 1977, is the investment advisor to the Trust. GMO also serves as investment advisor to each of the underlying funds. GMO does not receive a fee from the Trust for its advisory services. However, the Trust incurs fees and expenses indirectly as a shareholder of the underlying GMO–managed funds, including its indirect share of management or other fees paid to GMO.

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”), a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), serves as the administrator to the Trust. As administrator, EIMC provides the Trust with facilities, equipment and personnel. EIMC receives no compensation from the Trust for its services. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, EIMC voluntarily reimbursed the Trust for expenses in the amount of $60,120.

Asset Allocation Trust

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

Evergreen Service Company, LLC (“ESC”), an affiliate of EIMC and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Trust. The Trust does not pay a transfer agency fee.

4. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

Cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of investments (excluding short-term securities) were $1,138,171,167 and $1,165,325,408, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2010.

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 the Fund’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). The Fund’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 Trust’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

As of June 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Trust’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:

6. REGULATORY MATTERS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Evergreen funds, EIMC and certain of EIMC’s affiliates are involved in various legal actions, including private litigation and class action lawsuits, and are and may in the future be subject to regulatory inquiries and investigations.

EIMC and EIS have reached final settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Securities Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Commonwealth”) primarily relating to the liquidation of Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund (“Ultra Short Fund”). The claims settled include the following: first, that during the period February 2007 through Ultra Short Fund’s liquidation on June 18, 2008, Ultra Short Fund’s former portfolio management team failed to properly take into account readily-available information in valuing certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities held by the Ultra Short Fund, resulting in the Ultra Short Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) being overstated during the period; second, that

Asset Allocation Trust

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

EIMC and EIS acted inappropriately when, in an effort to explain the decline in Ultra Short Fund’s NAV, certain information regarding the decline was communicated to some, but not all, shareholders and financial intermediaries; third, that the Ultra Short Fund portfolio management team did not adhere to regulatory requirements for affiliated cross trades in executing trades with other Evergreen funds; and finally, that from at least September 2007 to August 2008, EIS did not preserve certain text and instant messages transmitted via personal digital assistant devices. In settling these matters, EIMC and EIS have agreed to payments totaling $41,125,000, up to $40,125,000 of which will be distributed to eligible shareholders of Ultra Short Fund pursuant to a methodology and plan approved by the regulators. EIMC and EIS neither admitted nor denied the regulators’ conclusions.

In addition, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has consolidated three purported class actions into In re Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund Securities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on April 30, 2009 against various Evergreen entities, including EIMC and EIS, the Evergreen funds’ former distributor, and Evergreen Fixed Income Trust and its Trustees. The complaint generally alleges that investors in Ultra Short Fund suffered losses as a result of (i) misleading statements in Ultra Short Fund’s registration statement and prospectus, (ii) the failure to accurately price securities in Ultra Short Fund at different points in time and (iii) the failure of Ultra Short Fund’s risk disclosures and description of its investment strategy to inform investors adequately of the actual risks of the fund. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

EIMC does not expect that any of the legal actions, inquiries or settlement of regulatory matters will have a material adverse impact on the financial position or operations of the Fund to which these financial statements relate. Any publicity surrounding or resulting from any legal actions or regulatory inquiries involving EIMC or its affiliates or any of the Evergreen Funds could result in reduced sales or increased redemptions of Evergreen fund shares, which could increase Evergreen fund transaction costs or operating expenses or have other adverse consequences on the Evergreen funds, including the Fund.

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited)

1. ORGANIZATION

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund’’) is a diversified series of Evergreen Equity Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on September 18, 1997. The Trust is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

The Fund invests all of its investable assets in Asset Allocation Trust, a fund-of-funds, which primarily allocates its investments among mutual funds advised by Grantham, Mayo, Van Otterloo & Co. LLC (“GMO”) investing in both U.S. and foreign equity and debt securities (“underlying funds”). The Fund operates as a “fund-of-funds” which invests in shares of Asset Allocation Trust. At June 30, 2010, the Fund owned 100% of Asset Allocation Trust. The financial statements of Asset Allocation Trust, including the Consolidated Schedule of Investments, are included elsewhere in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Fund’s financial statements.

The Fund offers Class A, Class B, Class C, Class I and Class R shares. Class A shares are sold with a front-end sales charge. However, Class A share investments of $1 million or more are not subject to a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge of 1.00% upon redemption within 18 months. Class B shares are available for purchase only through (i) an exchange transaction in which Class B shares of another Evergreen fund are exchanged or (ii) the Fund’s dividend reinvestment program. Class B shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is payable upon redemption and decreases depending on how long the shares have been held. Class C shares are sold without a front-end sales charge but are subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is payable upon redemption within one year. Class I shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Class R shares are only available to participants in certain retirement plans and are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. Each class of shares, except Class I shares, pays an ongoing distribution fee.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Fund in the preparation of its financial statements. The policies are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America, which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported herein. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Management has considered the circumstances under which the Fund should recognize or make disclosures regarding events or transactions occurring subsequent to the balance sheet date through the date the financial statements are issued. Adjustments or additional disclosures, if any, have been included in these financial statements.

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

a. Valuation of investments

Investments in the underlying open-end mutual funds are valued at the net asset value per share as reported by the underlying funds as of the close of the regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange on each day the exchange is open for trading.

The Fund records its investment in Asset Allocation Trust at fair value. The valuation of investments in the underlying funds and securities held by Asset Allocation Trust is discussed in its Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, which is included elsewhere in this report.

The valuation technique used by the Fund to measure fair value are consistent with the market approach, income approach and/or cost approach, where applicable, for each security type.

b. Investment transactions and investment income

Investment transactions are recorded on trade date. Income dividends and capital gain distributions from the underlying fund are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains and losses resulting from investment transactions are determined on the identified cost basis.

c. Federal and other taxes

The Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company and distribute all of its taxable income, including any net capital gains (which have already been offset by available capital loss carryovers). Accordingly, no provision for federal taxes is required. The Fund’s income and excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal, Massachusetts and Delaware revenue authorities.

d. Distributions

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and net realized gains, if any, are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Such distributions are determined in conformity with income tax regulations, which may differ from generally accepted accounting principles.

e. Class allocations

Income, common expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated to the classes based on the relative net assets of each class. Distribution fees, if any, are calculated daily at the class level based on the appropriate net assets of each class and the specific expense rates applicable to each class.

3. ADVISORY FEE AND OTHER TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES

Evergreen Investment Management Company, LLC (“EIMC”), a subsidiary of Wells Fargo & Company (“Wells Fargo”), is the investment advisor to the Fund and is paid an annual fee starting at 0.47% and declining to 0.20% as average daily net assets increase.

 

 

38

 


Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the advisory fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.32% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

EIMC also serves as the administrator to the Fund and is paid an annual rate determined by applying percentage rates to the aggregate average daily net assets of the Evergreen funds (excluding money market funds) starting at 0.10% and declining to 0.05% as the aggregate average daily net assets of the Evergreen funds (excluding money market funds) increase. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the administrative services fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.10% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

Evergreen Service Company, LLC (“ESC”), an affiliate of EIMC and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the transfer and dividend disbursing agent for the Fund. ESC receives account fees that vary based on the type of account held by the shareholders in the Fund. For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the transfer agent fees were equivalent to an annual rate of 0.13% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

4. DISTRIBUTION PLANS

Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“WFFD”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo serves as distributor of the Fund’s shares. Prior to January 4, 2010, Evergreen Investment Services, Inc. (“EIS”), an affiliate of EIMC and a subsidiary of Wells Fargo, served as distributor of the Fund’s shares. The Fund has adopted Distribution Plans, as allowed by Rule 12b-1 of the 1940 Act, for each class of shares, except Class I. Under the Distribution Plans, the Fund is permitted to pay distribution fees at an annual rate of up to 0.75% of the average daily net assets for Class A shares and up to 1.00% of the average daily net assets for each of Class B, Class C and Class R shares. However, currently the distribution fees for Class A shares are limited to 0.25% of the average daily net assets of the class and the distribution fees for Class R shares are limited to 0.50% of the average daily net assets of the class.

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, WFFD and/or EIS received received $306,824 from the sale of Class A shares and $2,364, $1,150,888 and $149,794 in contingent deferred sales charges from redemptions of Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively.

5. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

For the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund made aggregate purchases and sales of $53,939,984 and $311,170,502, respectively, in its investment into Asset Allocation Trust.

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 the Fund’s investments. The three-level hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

 

 

39

 


Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

(Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The Fund’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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

As of June 30, 2010, the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets, which are carried at fair value, were as follows:

6. INTERFUND LENDING

Pursuant to an Exemptive Order issued by the SEC, the Fund may participate in an interfund lending program with certain funds in the Evergreen fund family. This program allows the Fund to borrow from, or lend money to, other participating funds. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund did not participate in the interfund lending program.

7. EXPENSE REDUCTIONS

Through expense offset arrangements with ESC and the Fund’s custodian, a portion of fund expenses has been reduced.

8. DEFERRED TRUSTEES’ FEES

Each Trustee of the Fund may defer any or all compensation related to performance of his or her duties as a Trustee. The Trustees’ deferred balances are allocated to deferral accounts, which are included in the accrued expenses for the Fund. The investment

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

performance of the deferral accounts is based on the investment performance of certain Evergreen funds. Any gains earned or losses incurred in the deferral accounts are reported in the Fund’s Trustees’ fees and expenses. At the election of the Trustees, the deferral account will be paid either in one lump sum or in quarterly installments for up to ten years.

9. FINANCING AGREEMENT

The Fund and certain other Evergreen funds share in a $100 million unsecured revolving credit commitment for temporary and emergency purposes, including the funding of redemptions, as permitted by each participating fund’s borrowing restrictions. Borrowings under this facility bear interest at the higher of the Federal Funds rate plus 1.25% or LIBOR plus 1.25%. All of the participating funds are charged an annual commitment fee of 0.145% on the unused balance, which is allocated pro rata. During the six months ended June 30, 2010, the Fund had no borrowings.

10. REGULATORY MATTERS AND LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

The Evergreen funds, EIMC and certain of EIMC’s affiliates are involved in various legal actions, including private litigation and class action lawsuits, and are and may in the future be subject to regulatory inquiries and investigations.

EIMC and EIS have reached final settlements with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and the Securities Division of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts (“Commonwealth”) primarily relating to the liquidation of Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund (“Ultra Short Fund”). The claims settled include the following: first, that during the period February 2007 through Ultra Short Fund’s liquidation on June 18, 2008, Ultra Short Fund’s former portfolio management team failed to properly take into account readily-available information in valuing certain non-agency residential mortgage-backed securities held by the Ultra Short Fund, resulting in the Ultra Short Fund’s net asset value (“NAV”) being overstated during the period; second, that EIMC and EIS acted inappropriately when, in an effort to explain the decline in Ultra Short Fund’s NAV, certain information regarding the decline was communicated to some, but not all, shareholders and financial intermediaries; third, that the Ultra Short Fund portfolio management team did not adhere to regulatory requirements for affiliated cross trades in executing trades with other Evergreen funds; and finally, that from at least September 2007 to August 2008, EIS did not preserve certain text and instant messages transmitted via personal digital assistant devices. In settling these matters, EIMC and EIS have agreed to payments totaling $41,125,000, up to $40,125,000 of which will be distributed to eligible shareholders of Ultra Short Fund pursuant to a methodology and plan approved by the regulators. EIMC and EIS neither admitted nor denied the regulators’ conclusions.

Evergreen Asset Allocation Fund

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (unaudited) continued

In addition, the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts has consolidated three purported class actions into In re Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund Securities Litigation. The plaintiffs filed a consolidated amended complaint on April 30, 2009 against various Evergreen entities, including EIMC and EIS, the Evergreen funds’ former distributor, and Evergreen Fixed Income Trust and its Trustees. The complaint generally alleges that investors in Ultra Short Fund suffered losses as a result of (i) misleading statements in Ultra Short Fund’s registration statement and prospectus, (ii) the failure to accurately price securities in Ultra Short Fund at different points in time and (iii) the failure of Ultra Short Fund’s risk disclosures and description of its investment strategy to inform investors adequately of the actual risks of the fund. The complaint seeks damages in an amount to be determined at trial.

EIMC does not expect that any of the legal actions, inquiries or settlement of regulatory matters will have a material adverse impact on the financial position or operations of the Fund to which these financial statements relate. Any publicity surrounding or resulting from any legal actions or regulatory inquiries involving EIMC or its affiliates or any of the Evergreen Funds could result in reduced sales or increased redemptions of Evergreen fund shares, which could increase Evergreen fund transaction costs or operating expenses or have other adverse consequences on the Evergreen funds, including the Fund.

11. SUBSEQUENT EVENT

Effective at the close of business on July 16, 2010, Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund acquired the net assets of the Fund in a tax-free exchange for shares of the Wells Fargo Advantage Asset Allocation Fund.
