DEAR VALUED SHAREHOLDER,

 

We are pleased to present you with this Wells Fargo Income Funds annual report, which details each Fund’s portfolio positioning and performance for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003.

 

The economy’s attempts at recovery were hindered on multiple fronts during the reporting period. The initial threat and eventual reality of war in Iraq and a related spike in oil prices, combined with weak business confidence and a drop in consumer sentiment, continued to drag down the economy, bringing interest rates to a 45-year low and creating volatility in equity markets. The economy’s disappointing recovery from war-related uncertainties was due, in part, to a vicious circle created by limited pent-up consumer demand, modest sales gains, and weak pricing power that kept a lid on business hiring and investment spending. Housing continued to pull the economy along, fueled by historically low mortgage rates that boosted affordability. While car sales levels were impressive, consumers were beginning to respond less to increasingly aggressive incentives. Other consumer spending was suppressed by job worries and by income growth that slowed to a rate of less than 1% in the last three months of the reporting period. The economy received help from the dollar’s decline in the foreign exchange market, which improved U.S. competitiveness and boosted U.S. companies’ foreign earnings as such earnings were converted to dollars.

 

INTEREST RATES SHAPE BOND PERFORMANCE


Bonds fared well during the reporting period. The Federal Reserve Board’s concern over the economic outlook further fueled a bond rally already being propelled by disappointing growth and deflation fears. After finishing 2002 with its second double-digit gain in three years, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index (the Index), which consists of investment-grade, taxable bonds, got off to a strong start during the first five months of 2003. The Index’s return of more than 4% during the January-May period was more than a percentage point greater than its gain during the same period in 2002. Through the end of the reporting period, longer-term yields led the way downward, narrowing the sizable gap between them and short-term interest rates.

 

Two factors — historically low and declining rates — largely shaped bond performance. They encouraged investors to reach for yield in lower-quality issues, and, at the same time, spurred a move toward longer-dated securities. Investors’ preference for higher-yielding securities has allowed corporate paper to maintain its leadership role, with BBB-rated and industrial bonds posting gains toward the end of the period. Their strength came at the expense of higher-quality U.S. Treasury and agency issues. Mortgage-backed securities continued to feel the refinancing boom’s effect on prepayment risk, though relatively high yields in the sector helped to attract investors. Gains in the municipal bond sector were supported by attractive yield differences against U.S. Treasury issues.

 

Sluggish economic growth and declining interest rates have encouraged investors to keep a longer portfolio duration. By the end of the period, however, historically low bond yields have caused investors to turn increasingly cautious. During most future shifts away from a secular decline in interest rates, one likely constant in many fixed-income strategies is an over-weighted position in corporate securities, which should continue to benefit from relatively attractive yields and improving credit quality.

 

GOING FORWARD


Investors who rely on a certain level of income may have felt the effect of the decline in interest rates over the past year. We recommend that you review your investment portfolio to ensure that your current allocation reflects your income needs.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Institutional Class shares returned 8.11%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, underperforming the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index2 (the Index), which returned 11.58% during the period. The Fund distributed $1.05 per share in dividend income and $0.04 per share in capital gains during the period.

The Diversified Bond Fund invests in three different fixed-income investment styles: strategic value bond, managed fixed-income and tactical maturity bond. Each style represents an approach to selecting investments or a type of investment selected for the Fund’s portfolio. This multi-style approach seeks to help reduce price and return volatility in an effort to generate more consistent returns.

Corporate bonds, mortgage- and other asset-backed securities, emphasized by the strategic value bond investing style, experienced positive returns during the reporting period. The higher-yield bond holdings also contributed to positive Fund performance.

Higher-yielding instruments also helped the managed fixed-income style performance during the 12-month period. The allocation of corporate, mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities aided relative performance during the period. More specifically, our continued focus on undervalued A- to BBB-rated corporate bonds benefited Fund performance as credit spreads narrowed.

The tactical maturity bond style, on the other hand, struggled with volatility in the fixed-income markets. This style contains a mix of securities with short-term and long-term maturities, and tends to outperform when prices move in sustained trends, but lags when prices fluctuate back and forth, as they did during the 12-month period.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Until economic fundamentals and earnings tangibly improve, we remain cautious on the overall market. That said, interest rates could move higher in the next 12 to 24 months if market expectations prove correct and the economy picks up. Fund performance may differentiate itself based on yield and risk management. Given our ability to reduce portfolio duration quickly, and meaningfully below that of the Index, the Fund may hold up well and outperform in a protracted move to higher yields. Opportunities may present themselves across each sub-sector of the fixed-income market over the short term and we intend to position the Fund in an effort to take advantage of those opportunities.

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. The Fund’s Adviser has committed through September 30, 2003, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. The Fund is a gateway blended Fund that invests all of its assets in two or more master portfolios of Master Trust in varying proportions. References to the investment activities of the Fund are intended to refer to the investment activities of the master portfolios in which it invests.

Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo Diversified Bond Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects performance of the Institutional Class shares of Norwest Advantage Diversified Bond Fund, its predecessor fund.

Performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Fund prior to November 11, 1994, reflects the performance of a collective investment fund adjusted to reflect Institutional Class expenses. Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A. managed the collective investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment strategy that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The performance for the Fund includes performance of its predecessor collective investment fund for periods before it became a mutual fund on November 11, 1994. The collective investment fund’s performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund’s 1994 estimate of expense ratios for the first year of operations as a mutual fund, including any applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or expense reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (“1940 Act”) nor subject to certain investment limitations, diversification requirements, and other restrictions imposed by

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 5.40%1 from its inception on November 29, 2002, until the end of the period on May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Merrill Lynch High Yield Master II Index2, which returned 16.31% over the same period. The Fund’ Class A shares distributed $0.25 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

The Fund benefited from a favorable high yield environment. Against the backdrop of a lackluster economy and uncertainties surrounding the war with Iraq, high yield bonds experienced large cash inflows as investors were drawn to the attractive yields and more promising returns relative to stocks and low-yielding U.S. Treasury bonds. Record inflows into high yield mutual funds combined with the relatively low levels of debt issuance created a powerful rally and buying pressure in the market. Yield spreads that had reached nearly 10% relative to the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note in October 2002 narrowed by nearly 4% by the end of the period.

This favorable environment helped drive up prices of virtually all of the Fund’s bond holdings. In particular, the lower-quality holdings performed the best as investors searched for higher-yielding investments, helping push the returns of C-rated bonds up more than 33% in the first five months of 2003. However, the Fund was not able to fully capture the market’s run-up due to the Fund’s recent inception. Rather than being fully invested, the Fund was in a build-up mode in which it carefully and methodically invested new inflows of cash. As a result of the large average cash balances, the Fund’s performance lagged the market and other high yield funds that were already fully invested.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Ample liquidity in the bond market, refinancing and debt issues at lower rates have created a favorable environment for high yield investments. However, as the bond market normalizes, companies may again find it difficult to continually raise cash to repay their debt. Companies generating free cash flow may once again be the more valued bonds. Going forward, our focus on companies with solid fundamentals and the ability to repay debt could prove beneficial to the Fund’s performance.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 10.79%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index2, which returned 11.58% during the period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $0.48 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

In general, the 12-month period experienced positive returns for fixed-income investors. Interest rates declined steadily from June through September of 2002, and then traded in a fairly wide band until mid-April of 2003 before decreasing steadily again through the end of May. The intermediate portion of the yield curve experienced the largest decrease in yield. The three-year U.S. Treasury note declined the most at 2.11%, the 30-year U.S. Treasury note declined 1.24%, and the three-month U.S. Treasury Bill declined 0.62%. These low yields had little historical precedent, with both the two-year and three-year Treasuries yielding in the 1% range, and the five-year Treasuries also closing in on a yield below 2%.

In general, the Fund’s return benefited from yields falling during the year. More specifically, an increased allocation of the Fund’s portfolio of corporate bonds over the year boosted performance. Corporate and high yield bonds performed well in the last three months of 2002 and continued to perform well in 2003. Allocations of both AA- and BBB-rated corporate securities were increased modestly during the period. The Fund’s holdings in BBB-rated corporate bonds, which led the corporate debt sector this year, helped boost the Fund’s performance.

During the course of the period, we reduced the effective duration of the Fund from 5.11 years to 4.53 years seeking to reduce interest rate risk. The change in duration for the Fund also reflected the duration of the Fund’s peer group.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Although we remain cautious on the overall market, we plan to maintain a significant weight in corporate bonds, based on our belief that economic growth may improve in the second half of 2003. By the end of the reporting period, BBB-rated commercial paper appeared to offer value while spreads remained wide compared to longer-term historical values. In addition, AAA- and AA-rated commercial mortgage-backed and other asset-backed securities may provide additional yield and diversification to the Fund’s portfolio.

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. The Fund’s adviser waives its advisory fee for the portion of the Fund’s assets that is invested in the High Yield Bond Fund and waives additional fees and/or reimburses additional expenses to the extent necessary to ensure that there will be no increase in the Fund’s net operating expense ratio. The Fund’s Adviser also has committed through September 30, 2003, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to maintain a certain net operating expense ratio for the Fund. Actual reductions of operating expenses can increase total return to shareholders. Without these reductions, the Fund’s returns would have been lower.

Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo Income Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Income Fund (the accounting survivor of a merger of the Norwest Advantage Income, Total Return Bond and Performa Strategic Value Bond Funds at the close of business November 5, 1999), its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Norwest Advantage and Performa Funds were reorganized into the Wells Fargo Funds. Performance shown for the Class B shares for periods prior to August 5, 1993, reflects performance of the Class A shares, adjusted for Class B sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for the Institutional Class shares for periods prior to August 2, 1993, reflects performance of the Class A shares, adjusted for Institutional class expenses. For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 4.50%. The maximum contingent-deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 5.00%. Performance including sales charge assumes the maximum sales charge for the period shown. Institutional Class shares are sold without sales charges.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 11.53%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges, slightly underperforming the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index2, which returned 11.58% during the period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $0.70 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

During the period, the Fund continued to pursue a well-diversified portfolio strategy. The Fund invested in many different types of bonds including investment-grade debt, such as U.S. Treasuries, corporate bonds and mortgage-backed securities, as well as high yield, emerging markets and non-U.S. dollar sovereign debt.

Although the Fund posted healthy gains for the reporting period, its limited exposure in some markets that performed well hindered relative performance. Emerging market debt, in which the Fund had a limited allocation, posted a return of 25% for the period. In addition, limited exposure to two other markets that performed relatively well – lower rated high-yield securities and unhedged foreign currency investments – negatively affected the Fund’s relative performance.

Three areas contributed to the Fund’s positive performance during the reporting period. The high yield segment of the portfolio provided strong positive returns for the fiscal year and outperformed investment-grade securities. This portion of the Fund’s portfolio is invested in a well-diversified selection of high yield corporate credits with an emphasis on the higher-rated BB securities. The diversified non-U.S. dollar sovereign credit portion of the Fund’s portfolio also generated positive returns during this period and was invested in highly rated investment-grade countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and New Zealand. The investment-grade portion of the Fund’s portfolio, particularly the telecommunication and energy sectors, also provided positive returns for the period.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


We remain cautious on the overall market, although interest rates could move higher in the next 12 to 24 months if market expectations prove correct and the economy picks up. Fund performance typically differentiates itself based on income (yield) and risk management. Any changes in Fund sector allocations would be made incrementally and when we believe that there is an investment opportunity over the near to medium term. Going forward, we expect to continue to invest in securities in an effort to enhance yield and return. Opportunities may present themselves across each sub-sector of the fixed income market over the upcoming quarters and we will continue to actively position the Fund in an effort to take advantage of those opportunities.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 2.94%1 from inception on February 28, 2003, until May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers U.S. Treasury Inflation Notes Index2, which returned 2.78% during the same period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $0.15 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

The Fund’s performance during the period was helped by a general decline in interest rates. Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) with longer durations performed particularly well as the TIPS curve flattened. We positioned the Fund to benefit from this flat TIPS curve.

Detracting somewhat from Fund performance was the Fund’s continual inflows of cash. This had a negative impact on performance because TIPS prices were generally moving higher and as we made purchases in an appreciating market environment. Longer-maturity TIPS performed better than shorter-maturity TIPS, with the yield on TIPS maturing in 2032, for example, declining by 0.10% and the yield on TIPS maturing in 2008 rising by 0.05%.

During the period, we added AAA-rated collateralized mortgage-backed securities to the portfolio in an attempt to increase the Fund’s yield. We expect to continue to add exposure to this sector and the asset-backed securities sector as we find suitable issues. We kept the duration neutral compared to the Fund’s benchmark, given the strong cash inflows the Fund had experienced.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


In July 2003, the Treasury is expected to auction new 10-year TIPS, which we intend to purchase if the pricing is attractive relative to outstanding issues. We are looking for any hints that the economy may be accelerating, which might be a signal to seek below-benchmark duration for the Fund.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 9.95%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S. Government Index2, which returned 9.27% for the period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $0.58 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

The fiscal year ending May 31, 2003 provided another positive year for returns for the Fund. Interest rates declined steadily from June through September 2002, and then traded in a fairly wide band until mid-April 2003 before dropping steadily again through the end of May. The intermediate part of the yield curve experienced the largest decrease in yield with the three-year U.S. Treasury note dropping 2.11%, while the 30-year U.S. Treasury note declined 1.24% and the three-month Treasury Bill declined 0.62%. These low yields had little historical precedent, with both the two-year and three-year Treasuries yielding in the 1% range, and the five-year Treasuries also closing in on a yield below 2%.

The five-year U.S. Treasury note, a good proxy for this Fund, decreased 2.06% in yield; the price appreciation accompanying such a yield decline provided the bulk of the performance for the Fund. The Fund’s mortgage-backed security holdings also contributed to the total return. The Fund began the period with a 29% weighting in mortgage-backed securities and increased the weighting by the middle of the period to 37%, thus benefiting from the outperformance of this sector. The Fund’s agency note holdings, which represented 23% of the portfolio during the year, also added to the total return.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Going forward, the Fund expects to continue to invest primarily in U.S. Government securities. However, in addition to mortgage-backed securities, investment guidelines allow the Fund to invest up to 20% in other AAA- and AA-rated asset-backed securities. If we choose to invest in these other asset-backed securities, it may help to provide additional yield for the Fund in a continued low interest-rate environment.

Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A., formerly Norwest Bank Minnesota, N.A., managed the collective investment fund with an investment objective and principal investment strategy that were substantially similar to those of the Fund. The performance of the Fund includes performance of its predecessor collective investment fund for periods before it became a mutual fund on November 11, 1994. The collective investment fund’s performance was adjusted to reflect the Fund’s 1994 estimate of expense ratios for the first year of operations as a mutual fund, including any applicable sales load (without giving effect to any fee waivers or expense reimbursements). The collective investment fund was not registered under

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 7.46%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index2, which returned 11.87% for the period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $ 0.36 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

The fiscal year ending May 31, 2003 provided another positive year in returns for fixed-income investors. Interest rates declined steadily from June through September of 2002, and then traded in a fairly wide band until mid-April of 2003 before declining steadily once again through the end of May. The intermediate part of the curve saw the largest decrease in yield with the three-year Treasury note declining 2.11%. As the outperforming three-year Treasury provided a good proxy for this Fund, the price appreciation that resulted from the 2.11% yield drop provided the bulk of the Fund performance.

The Fund’s mortgage-backed security holdings also added to the total return. According to the Lehman Mortgage Index, the fixed-rate mortgage market provided 0.70% in excess return over similar duration Treasuries during the time period. The Fund began the fiscal year with a 44% weighting in mortgage-backed security holdings, and increased it to nearly 50% by the middle of the period, thus benefiting from the outperformance of this sector. We ended the fiscal year at a 47% weighting in the sector. The Fund’s agency note holdings also contributed to the Fund’s total return. The Lehman Brothers Agency Index measured showed that the agency note market provided 1.14% in excess total return over similar duration Treasuries. The Fund held a 24% weighting in agency notes for most of the year.

The Fund’s benchmark index, the Lehman Brothers Intermediate U.S. Government/Credit Index, is comprised of over 40% corporate bonds, while the Limited Term Government Income Fund invests almost entirely in short-to intermediate-term U.S. Government obligations. Since corporate bonds had positive excess returns relative to government securities, this was a contributing factor to the Fund’s underperformance against the index during the period.

The duration of the Fund was shortened mid-year to around 2.31 years from 2.95 years at the beginning of the fiscal year seeking to reduce interest rate risk.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Going forward, the Fund expects to continue to invest primarily in U.S. Government securities. However, in addition to mortgage-backed securities, it can now invest up to 20% in other AAA- and AA-asset-backed securities. If we choose to invest in these other asset-backed securities, it may help to provide additional yield for the Fund in a continued low interest-rate environment.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund’s Class A shares returned 3.01%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003, excluding sales charges. The Fund outperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Short Treasury 9-12 Months Index2, which returned 2.55% during the period. The Fund’s Class A shares distributed $0.25 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

Interest rates rallied over the past 12 months as the fixed-income market faced conflicting economic and geo-political events. As a result, the Fund’s duration positioning had a positive impact on total returns. The Fund continued to benefit from its strong yield advantage versus its benchmark as income dominated total returns over the past year. In addition, non-Treasury sectors performed well as corporate, mortgage-backed and structured products all provided excess returns to investors.

The Fund’s allocation in the corporate, mortgage-backed and asset-backed market aided relative performance during the period. More specifically, the Fund’s continued focus on undervalued A- to BBB-rated corporate bonds benefited shareholders as credit spreads collapsed over the second half of the period. The structured product strategy continued to overweight higher-yielding alternatives to government agency paper while emphasizing risk control and cash flow stability. The Fund’s strategic positioning in Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS) also provided value-added returns during this time period.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


Until economic fundamentals and earnings tangibly improve, we remain cautious on the overall market. That said, interest rates could move higher in the next 12 to 24 months if market expectations prove correct and the economy picks up. Fund performance may differentiate itself based on income (yield) and risk management.

We continue to overweight the non-Treasury sectors given our income-based strategy. Opportunities may present themselves across each sub-sector of the fixed-income market, and we expect to actively position the Fund seeking to take advantage of those opportunities. Specifically, we find the corporate market less compelling given the spread tightening that has occurred and will look to manage our corporate exposure selectively. Areas within the mortgage- and asset-backed market currently appear more attractive for the Fund. In addition, TIPS continue to offer a long-term opportunity for shareholders.

Performance shown for Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the Wells Fargo Stable Income Fund for periods prior to November 8, 1999, reflects performance of the Class A, Class B and Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Advantage Stable Income Fund, its predecessor fund. Effective at the close of business November 5, 1999, the Norwest Advantage Funds were reorganized into the Wells Fargo Funds. Performance shown for Class A shares for periods prior to May 2, 1996, reflects performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Fund adjusted for Class A sales charges and expenses. Performance shown for Class B shares for periods prior to May 17, 1996, reflects performance of the Institutional Class shares of the Norwest Fund adjusted for Class B sales charges and expenses. For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 1.50%. Effective July 1, 2003, the maximum front-end sales charge for Class A shares of the Fund will be 2.00%. The maximum contingent-deferred sales charge for Class B shares is 1.50%. Performance including sales charge assumes the maximum sales charge for the period shown. Institutional Class shares are sold without sales charges.

2   The Lehman Brothers Short Treasury 9-12 Months Index is an unmanaged index of short-term U.S. Treasuries maturing in 9 to 12 months, including bills, notes and bonds. U.S. Treasuries are backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government and, if held to maturity, offer a fixed rate of return and fixed principal value. The Fund invests in a wide range of securities, including those that are not reflected in the Lehman Brothers Short Treasury 9-12 Months Index or backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government. You cannot invest directly in an index.

3   The average credit quality is compiled from ratings from Standard & Poor’s and/or Moody’s Investors Service (together “rating agencies”). Standard & Poor’s is a registered trademark of McGraw-Hill, Inc., and has been licensed. The Fund is not sponsored, sold or promoted by these rating agencies and these rating agencies make no representation regarding the advisability of investing in the Fund.

4    The distribution rate is based on the actual distributions made by the Fund. The distribution rate is calculated by annualizing the Fund’s most recent income dividend and dividing that figure by the applicable current public offering price.

5   SEC yields include the actual amount of interest earned adjusted by any gain or loss realized due to the return of principal, less expenses and the maximum offering price calculated on a 30-day month-end basis.

6   The Fund invests exclusively in a Wells Fargo Master Portfolio. This chart represents the portfolio allocations of the master portfolio in which it invests. Portfolio holdings are subject to change. See notes to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the master portfolio.

7   The chart compares the performance of the Wells Fargo Stable Income Fund Class A and Institutional Class shares for the life of the Fund with the Lehman Brothers Short Treasury 9-12 Months Index. The chart assumes a hypothetical $10,000 investment in Class A shares and Institutional Class shares and reflects all operating expenses and, for Class A shares, assumes the maximum initial sales charge of 1.50%.

PERFORMANCE HIGHLIGHTS


The Fund returned 2.53%1 for the 12-month period ended May 31, 2003. The Fund underperformed its benchmark, the Lehman Brothers Aggregate Bond Index2, (the Index) which returned 11.58% over the same period. The Fund distributed $0.17 per share in dividend income and no capital gains during the period.

The combination of repeated fluctuations in long-term Treasury prices and historically low short-term interest rates combined to hurt performance over the past year. The Fund is structured as a barbell of short-term and long-term maturities. Value is added by reacting to interest-rate shifts, placing greater emphasis on shorter maturities to protect principal when bond prices move down, and increasing the emphasis on longer maturities to add appreciation when prices move higher. This approach tends to help the Fund outperform when prices move in sustained trends, but lags when prices fluctuate back and forth. Additionally, fluctuating long-term bonds caused a significant portion of the portfolio to be allocated to short-term maturities during the period, and the low yields available on reserves reduced the Fund’s return.

With interest rates declining to near 50-year lows by the end of the fiscal year, virtually all bond prices rose, and returns generally improved as maturity lengthened. A “flight to safety” by investors prevailed during the first half of the fiscal year, as corporate bankruptcies, warnings of domestic terror attacks and increasing tensions in the Middle East were on investors’ minds. In that environment, government securities outperformed corporate securities. During the second half of the fiscal year, however, more positive economic and geo-political expectations led to a greater willingness by many investors to accept risk. Stocks eventually rebounded, and corporate and high yield bonds turned in the best performance.

 

STRATEGIC OUTLOOK


With a longer duration than its benchmark, the Fund may perform well in any extension of the most recent bond rally. On the other hand, with historically low interest rates, many investors are understandably concerned with how the Fund may react if interest rates move higher. Given our ability to reduce portfolio duration quickly and meaningfully below that of the Index, the Fund is expected to hold up well and possibly outperform the Index in a protracted move to higher yields.

The Wells Fargo Tactical Maturity Bond Master Portfolio, which incepted on June 1, 1997, has a substantially identical investment objective and investment strategy as the Fund.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

1. ORGANIZATION


Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”) is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end series management investment company. The Trust commenced operations on November 8, 1999, and is currently comprised of 67 separate series. These financial statements present the Diversified Bond, High Yield Bond, Income, Income Plus, Inflation-Protected Bond, Intermediate Government Income, Limited Term Government Income, Stable Income, and Tactical Maturity Bond Funds (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”), each a diversified series of the Trust.

The High Yield Bond, Income Plus, Inflation-Protected Bond and Intermediate Government Income Funds offer Class A, Class B, and Class C shares. In addition, the Inflation-Protected Bond and Intermediate Government Income Funds also offer Institutional Class shares. The Income, Limited Term Government Income, and Stable Income Funds offer Class A, Class B, and Institutional Class shares. The Diversified Bond and Tactical Maturity Bond Funds only offer Institutional Class shares. The separate classes of shares differ principally in the applicable sales charges (if any), distribution fees, shareholder servicing fees and transfer agency fees. Shareholders of each class may also bear certain expenses that pertain to that particular class. All shareholders bear the common expenses of the Fund and earn income from the portfolio pro rata based on the average daily net assets of each class, without distinction between share classes. Dividends are determined separately for each class based on income and expenses allocable to each class. Realized gains and losses are allocated to each class pro rata based on the net assets of each class on the date realized. No class has preferential dividend rights. Differences in per share dividend rates generally result from the relative weightings of pro rata income and from differences in separate class expenses, including distribution, shareholder servicing and transfer agency fees.

The Diversified Bond, Stable Income and Tactical Maturity Bond Funds are Funds which each seek to achieve their investment objectives by investing all of their respective investable assets in one or more separate diversified portfolios (each a “Master Portfolio”, collectively, the “Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust (“Master Trust”) a registered, open-end management investment company. Each Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities, and a Fund investing in a Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. The Funds account for their investment in the Master Portfolios as partnership investments and record daily their share of the Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gain and loss. The financial statements of the Master Portfolios are in this report and should be read in conjunction with the Funds’ financial statements.

On May 8, 2001, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the reorganization of the Wells Fargo Variable Rate Government Fund into the Wells Fargo Limited Term Government Income Fund of the Trust. Effective at the close of business on November 16, 2001, the Wells Fargo Limited Term Government Income Fund acquired all of the net assets of the Wells Fargo Variable Rate Government Fund. The Wells Fargo Variable Rate Government Fund exchanged its 4,740,035 shares (valued at $43,508,333) for 4,334,441 shares of the Wells Fargo Limited Term Government Income Fund. The net assets of the Wells Fargo Variable Rate Government Fund included unrealized appreciation of $372,874.

On November 6, 2001, the Board of Trustees of the Trust approved an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization providing for the reorganization of the Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund into the Wells Fargo Income Plus Fund of the Trust. Effective at the close of business on May 17, 2002, the Wells Fargo Income Plus Fund acquired all of the net assets of the Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund. The Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund Class A exchanged its 618,695 shares (valued at $5,645,884) for 526,101 Class A shares of the Wells Fargo Income Plus Fund. The Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund Class B exchanged its 1,237,884 shares (valued at $11,299,183) for 1,052,359 Class B shares of the Wells Fargo Income Plus Fund. The Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund Class C exchanged its 274,680 shares (valued at $2,506,976) for 233,533 Class C shares of the Wells Fargo Income Plus Fund. The net assets of the Wells Fargo Corporate Bond Fund included unrealized appreciation of $233,104.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following significant accounting policies which are consistently followed by the Trust in the preparation of its financial statements are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

SECURITY VALUATION

Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. In the absence of any sale of such securities, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, valuations are determined daily by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The service uses prices that reflect fair value as quoted by an independent pricing service or by dealers in these securities when, in the service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the securities’ market values. For some securities, such prices are not readily available. The service generally prices these securities based on methods which may include considerations of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue; indications as to values from dealers in securities, trading characteristics and general market conditions. Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation. Securities which cannot be valued by any of these methods are valued in good faith at fair value as determined by policies set by the Fund’s Board of Trustees.

Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity, which approximates market value.

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized.

Non-cash dividends and interest, if any, are included in investment income at the fair market value of the securities received. Debt obligations may be placed on non-accrual status and related investment income may be reduced by ceasing current accruals and writing off interest receivables when the collection of all or a portion of income has become doubtful based on consistently applied procedures. A debt obligation is removed from non-accrual status when the issuer resumes interest payments or when collectibility of interest is reasonably assured.

Dividend income is recognized on the ex-dividend date except for certain dividends from foreign securities which are recorded as soon as the Fund is informed of the ex-dividend date. Dividend income from foreign securities is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Fund may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other funds advised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked to market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the Funds’ custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements held by the Funds are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations.

 

FOREIGN CURRENCY FORWARD CONTRACTS

The Income Plus Fund has entered into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge exposure to fluctuations in foreign currencies. A forward contract is an agreement between two counterparties for future delivery or receipt at a specified price. Fluctuations in the value of such contracts are recorded as unrealized gain or loss; realized gain or loss includes net gain or loss on contracts that have terminated by settlement or by the Fund entering into offsetting commitments. Risks of entering into forward contracts include certain market risks and the potential inability of the counterparty to meet the terms of the contract. As of May 31, 2003, the terms of the Income Plus Fund’s outstanding forward contracts were as follows:

 

Fund    Currency Amount

   Type    Settle Date    Currency Amount

SECURITY LOANS

The Funds may loan securities in return for securities and cash collateral, which is invested in various short-term fixed income securities. The Funds may receive compensation for lending securities in the form of fees or by retaining a portion of interest on the investment securities or cash received as collateral. A Fund also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Security loans are secured at all times by collateral. The collateral is equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest when the transaction is entered into. If the collateral falls to 100% it will be brought back to 102%. Gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan is reflected in the value of the Fund. The risks to the Fund from securities lending are that the borrower may not provide additional collateral when required or return the securities when due or when called for by the Fund.

As of May 31, 2003, the cash collateral of each Fund was invested as follows:

  * Additional collateral was received on June 3, 2003.

 

DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS

Dividends to shareholders from net investment income are declared and distributed monthly, with the exception of the Income and Limited Term Government Income Funds, for which dividends from net investment income are declared daily and distributed monthly. Distributions to shareholders from net realized capital gains are declared and distributed at least annually. If the principal value of an inflation-protected debt security is adjusted downward due to deflation, amounts previously distributed in the taxable year may be characterized in some circumstances as return of capital. Estimates of inflation may be used in the determination of monthly income dividend rates.

Distributions are based on amounts calculated in accordance with the applicable federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. The timing and character of distributions made during the period from net investment income or net realized gains may also differ from their ultimate characterization for federal income tax purposes. To the extent that these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the capital accounts based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassifications.

WHEN-ISSUED TRANSACTION

The Funds record a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate with the custodian qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.

 

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTION

Each Fund may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Fund sells a mortgage- backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, the Fund foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Fund receives compensation from the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and in the form of a fee, which is recorded as deferred income and amortized to income over the roll period, or alternatively, a lower price for the security upon its repurchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. It is the policy of each Fund of the Trust to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by complying with the provisions applicable to regulated investment companies, as defined under subchapter M of the Code, and to make distributions of substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required at May 31, 2003.

Purchases and sales for the Funds normally would be based on the purchases and sales of a Fund’s investment in a Portfolio rather than the underlying securities in that Portfolio. Since the Fund has an indirect interest in the securities held in the Portfolio, the purchases and sales disclosed are calculated by aggregating the results of multiplying the Fund’s ownership percentage of the respective Portfolio by the corresponding Portfolio’s purchase and sales.

  * These amounts include the Post-October loss, which will reverse on the 1st day of the following fiscal year.

 

The difference between book-basis and tax-basis net unrealized appreciation (depreciation) is attributable primarily to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales and cost basis adjustments related to premium amortization (only for funds that have elected not to amortize premium for tax purposes).

 

10. BANK BORROWINGS


All of the funds in the Trust and Wells Fargo Variable Trust (excluding the money market funds) share in a revolving Credit Agreement with The Bank of New York, whereby the funds are permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. The agreement permits borrowings of up to $225 million, collectively. Interest is charged to each fund based on its borrowing at a rate equal to the Federal Funds Rate plus 0.40%. In addition, the funds pay a quarterly commitment fee equal to 0.1% per annum of the credit line. No borrowings under the agreement occurred during the year ended May 31, 2003.

 

TAX INFORMATION [UNAUDITED]

For the year ended May 31, 2003, the Wells Fargo Diversified Bond Fund designates $393,838 as a long term capital gain distribution pursuant to section 852(b)(3) of the Code.

TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES AND SHAREHOLDERS

WELLS FARGO FUNDS TRUST:

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the High Yield Bond Fund, Diversified Bond Fund, Income Fund, Income Plus Fund, Intermediate Government Income Fund, Limited Term Government Income Fund, Inflation-Protected Bond Fund, Stable Income Fund, and Tactical Maturity Bond Fund, nine of the funds constituting the Wells Fargo Funds Trust (collectively the “Funds”), as of May 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. 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 conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the aforementioned funds of Wells Fargo Funds Trust as of May 31, 2003, the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   MASTER PORTFOLIOS

 

1. ORGANIZATION


Wells Fargo Master Trust (“Master Trust”) is registered as an open-end management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). Master Trust currently has 14 separate investment portfolios. These financial statements present the Managed Fixed Income, Stable Income, Strategic Value Bond, and Tactical Maturity Bond portfolios (each a “Portfolio” and collectively the “Portfolios”).

Interests in the Portfolios are sold without any sales charge in private placement transactions to qualified investors, including open-end management investment companies.

 

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES


The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed by the Master Trust in the preparation of its financial statements, are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for investment companies.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

SECURITY VALUATION

Investments in securities are valued each business day as of the close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange which is usually 4:00 p.m. (Eastern Time). Securities which are traded on a national or foreign securities exchange are valued at the last reported sales price. Securities listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. are valued at the Nasdaq Official Closing Price (“NOCP”), and if no NOCP is available, then at the last reported sales price. In the absence of any sale of such securities, and in the case of other securities, including U.S. Government obligations, but excluding debt securities maturing in 60 days or less, valuations are determined daily by a pricing service approved by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. The service uses prices that reflect fair value as quoted by an independent pricing service or by dealers in these securities when, in the service’s judgment, these prices are readily available and are representative of the securities’ market values. For some securities, such prices are not readily available. The service generally prices these securities based on methods which may include consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon rate, maturity and type of issue; indications as to values from dealers in securities, trading characteristics and general market conditions. Securities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars using the closing rates of exchange in effect on the day of valuation. Securities which cannot be valued by any of these methods are valued in good faith at fair value as determined by policies set by the Board of Trustees.

Debt securities maturing in 60 days or less are valued at amortized cost. The amortized cost method involves valuing a security at its cost, plus accretion of discount or minus amortization of premium over the period until maturity, which approximates market value.

 

SECURITY TRANSACTIONS AND INCOME RECOGNITION

Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are reported on the basis of identified cost of securities delivered. Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized.

 

REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS

Each Portfolio may invest in repurchase agreements and may participate in pooled repurchase agreement transactions with other Portfolios advised by Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The repurchase agreements must be fully collateralized based on values that are marked to market daily. The collateral may be held by an agent bank under a tri-party agreement. It is the Portfolios’ custodian’s responsibility to value collateral daily and to take action to obtain additional collateral as necessary to maintain market value equal to or greater than the resale price. The repurchase agreements held by the Portfolios are collateralized by instruments such as U.S. Treasury, federal agency, or high-grade corporate obligations.

 

WHEN-ISSUED TRANSACTION

The Portfolios record a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate with the custodian qualifying assets having a value sufficient to make payment for the securities purchased. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the 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 may purchase futures contracts to gain exposure to market changes, which may be more efficient or cost effective than actually buying the securities. A futures contract is an agreement between parties to buy or sell a security at a set price on a future date. Upon entering into such a contract, a Portfolio is required to pledge to the broker an amount of cash, U.S. Government obligations or other high-quality debt securities equal to the minimum “initial margin” requirements of the exchange on which the futures contract is traded. Pursuant to the contract, the Portfolio agrees to receive from or pay to the broker an amount of cash equal to the daily fluctuation in the value of the contract. Such receipts or payments are known as “variation margin” and are recorded by the Portfolio as unrealized gains or losses. When the contract is closed, the Portfolio records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Pursuant to regulations and/or published positions of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for long futures positions, the Portfolio is required to segregate highly liquid securities as permitted by the SEC in connection with futures transactions in an amount generally equal to the entire value of the underlying contracts. Risks of entering into futures contracts include the possibility that there may be an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the contract may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities. On May 31, 2003, the Managed Fixed Income and Strategic Value Bond Portfolios held the following short futures contracts:

SECURITY LOANS

The Portfolios may loan securities in return for securities and cash collateral which is invested in various short-term fixed-income securities. The Portfolios may receive compensation for lending securities in the form of fees or by retaining a portion of interest on the investment securities or cash received as collateral. A Portfolio also continues to receive interest or dividends on the securities loaned. Security loans are secured at all times by collateral. The collateral is equal to at least 102% of the market value of the securities loaned plus accrued interest. If the collateral falls to 100% it will be brought back to 102%.

Gain or loss in the market price of the securities loaned that may occur during the term of the loan is reflected in the value of the Portfolio. Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC receives 40% of income on security lending activities and covers the expenses associated with securities lending activities.

 

As of May 31, 2003, the cash collateral of each Fund was invested as follows:

    Short-Term

    Mid-Term

MORTGAGE DOLLAR ROLL TRANSACTION

Each Portfolio may engage in mortgage dollar roll transactions with respect to mortgage-backed securities issued by GNMA, FNMA and FHLMC. In a mortgage dollar roll transaction, a Portfolio sells a mortgage-backed security to a financial institution, such as a bank or broker-dealer and simultaneously agrees to repurchase a substantially similar (i.e., same type, coupon and maturity) security from the institution at a later date at an agreed upon price. The mortgage-backed securities that are repurchased will bear the same interest rate as those sold, but generally will be collateralized by different pools of mortgages with different pre-payment histories. During the roll period, the Portfolio foregoes principal and interest paid on the securities. The Portfolio receives compensation from the interest earned on the cash proceeds of the initial sale and in the form of a fee, which is recorded as deferred income and amortized to income over the roll period, or alternatively, a lower price for the security upon its repurchase. Mortgage dollar rolls may be renewed without physical delivery of the securities subject to the contract.

 

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

The Portfolios may enter into various hedging transactions, such as interest rate swaps to preserve a return or spread on a particular investment or portion of its portfolio, to create synthetic adjustable-rate mortgage securities or for other purposes. Interest rate swaps involve the exchange of commitments to pay or receive interest, e.g., an exchange of floating-rate payments for fixed rate payments. The Portfolios record as an increase or decrease to interest income, the amount due or owed by the Portfolios at termination or settlement. Interest rate swaps are value based on prices quoted by independent brokers. These valuations represent the net present value of all future cash settlement amounts based on implied forward interest rates.

As of May 31, 2003, the following Portfolio was engaged in open Interest Rate Swaps. The Portfolio was exchanging a fixed interest rate stream based on the notional principal, and receiving a floating rate income stream based on that same principal.

 

Portfolio    Swap Counter Party    Notional Principal    Floating Rate Index    Maturity Date    Net Unrealized

   Lehman Brothers    15,000,000    USD Libor BBA    July 25, 2007    $ (677,225 )

 

WRITTEN OPTIONS

An option is a right to buy or sell a particular security at a specified price within a limited period of time. The buyer of the option, in return for a premium paid to the seller, has the right to buy (in the case of a call option) or sell (in the case of a put option) the underlying security of the contract. The premium received in cash from writing options is recorded as an asset with an equal liability that is adjusted to reflect the option’s value. The premium received from writing options which expire is recorded as realized gains. The premium received from writing option, which are exercised or closed is offset against the proceeds or amount paid on the transaction to determine the realized gain or loss. If a put option is exercised, the premium reduces the cost basis of the security or currency purchased. Options are valued based on their quoted daily settlement prices.

Risks could arise from entering into written options transactions from the potential inability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts, the potential inability to enter into a closing transaction because of an illiquid secondary market, and from unexpected movements in interest or exchange rates or securities values. At May 31, 2003, the Portfolios held no written options.

 

FEDERAL INCOME TAXES

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

The Portfolios use the “aggregate method” (as described in the applicable regulation under the Internal Revenue Code) for allocation of capital gains and losses to interestholders.

 

3. ADVISORY FEES


The investment adviser of each Portfolio is Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC (“Funds Management”). The Portfolios’ adviser is responsible for implementing the investment policies and guidelines for the Portfolios, and for supervising the sub-advisers who are responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Portfolios.

Funds Management has retained the services of certain of its affiliates as investment sub-advisers (Galliard Capital Management, Inc. and Peregrine Capital Management, Inc.) on selected Portfolios. The fees related to sub-advisory services are borne directly by the adviser and do not increase the overall fees paid by the Portfolios to the adviser. The current annual investment advisory fees and the associated sub-adviser and sub-advisory fees are as follows, with the fees expressed as a percentage of a Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

4. OTHER FEES AND TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES


Currently there are no administration fees charged to the Portfolios at the master level.

Wells Fargo Bank Minnesota, N.A. (“WFB, MN”) serves as the custodian for each Portfolio and may appoint certain sub-custodians to custody those Portfolios’ foreign securities and assets held in foreign countries. WFB, MN receives a fee with respect to each Portfolio at an annual rate of 0.02% of each Portfolio’s average daily net assets.

Effective the first quarter of 2003, PFPC Inc. (“PFPC”) serves as fund accountant for the Portfolios. PFPC currently does not receive an annual asset based fund complex fee or an annual fixed fee for its services as fund accountant to the Portfolios, but is entitled to be reimbursed for all out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in providing these services. Prior to PFPC, Forum Accounting Services, LLC served as fund accountant and was entitled to receive a fixed monthly fee, a basis point fee of 0.0025% of the average daily net assets of each Portfolio, plus out-of-pocket expenses.

 

5. WAIVED FEES AND REIMBURSED EXPENSES


All amounts shown as waived fees or reimbursed expenses on the Statement of Operations, for the period ended May 31, 2003 were waived by Funds Management, first from advisory fees, and then any remaining amount from custody fees collected.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

   MASTER PORTFOLIOS

 

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

 

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities, including the portfolios of investments, of the Managed Fixed Income Portfolio, Stable Income Portfolio, Strategic Value Bond Portfolio, and Tactical Maturity Bond Portfolio, four of the portfolios constituting the Wells Fargo Master Trust (collectively the “Portfolios”), as of May 31, 2003, and the related statements of operations, statements of changes in net assets and the financial highlights for the periods presented. These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Trust’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America. 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. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2003, by correspondence with the custodian and brokers or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of each of the aforementioned funds of Wells Fargo Master Trust as of May 31, 2003, the results of their operations, changes in their net assets, and their financial highlights for the periods presented, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
