Wells Fargo Funds

Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund for the 13-month period that ended May 31, 2020. We are reporting on a 13-month basis at this time because the fiscal year end for the Fund changed from April 30 to May 31, effective May 31, 2020. Global stock markets saw earlier gains erased in February and March as governments around the world took unprecedented measures to stop the spread of the coronavirus at the expense of short-term economic output. Markets rebounded in April and May to offset much of the losses as central banks attempted to bolster capital markets and confidence. Fixed-income markets performed better, with the exception of high-yield bonds, as U.S. bonds overall achieving widespread gains.

For the 13-month period, fixed-income securities generally had positive total returns while non-U.S. equities had broad losses and U.S. stocks fared somewhat better, breaking even overall. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index,¹ gained 5.21%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net),² fell -7.97%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net)³ trailed slightly, with a -10.49% return. For bond investors, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index⁴ returned a robust 10.42%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index⁵ gained a more modest 3.44%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index⁶ returned 4.98%, but the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index⁷ had rockier returns, losing -0.86%, reflecting its risk exposure.

The year began on slightly shaky footing but markets recovered.

The 13-month period began on the heels of a strong start to 2019 after the U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) had indicated it would change course with more supportive monetary policy. However, markets tumbled in May on mixed investment signals. In the U.S., partisan political wrangling ramped up in advance of the 2020 election. Ongoing failures in the U.K.’s Brexit negotiations caused Prime Minister Theresa May to resign. Boris Johnson succeeded her, only to add to uncertainty about Brexit’s resolution ahead of an October 2019 deadline. The European Commission downgraded the 2019 growth forecast to 1.2%. The U.S. increased tariffs on China, China responded with its own tariffs, and then talks broke down.

Investors regrouped midway through the fiscal year as sentiment turned positive and U.S. equity markets advanced during June and July. The gains, primarily driven by geopolitical and monetary policy events, pushed equity markets to new highs. European Central Bank (ECB) President Mario Draghi indicated the bank was ready to cut rates or buy more assets to prop up inflation if needed. President Trump backed off of tariff threats against Mexico and China. In the U.S., the Fed implemented a 0.25% federal funds rate cut in July.

Later in July, the U.S. reversed course and threatened to impose higher tariffs on China’s exports after talks failed. China responded with tariff threats of its own and devalued the renminbi, roiling global markets. Major U.S. stock market indices closed July with the worst weekly results of the year. Bond prices gained as Treasury yields fell to multiyear lows, and the yield curve inverted at multiple points along the 30-year arc with shorter-term yields higher than longer-term.

In August, U.S.-China trade tensions continued with no signs of compromise. Evidence of a continued global economic slowdown mounted, and central banks in China, New Zealand, and Thailand cut interest rates. Industrial and manufacturing data declined in China, Canada, Japan, and Germany. Adding to global uncertainty, Italy’s prime minister resigned, many feared a crackdown in Hong Kong as protestors sustained their calls for reform, and Boris Johnson planned to suspend Parliament as Brexit’s deadline neared.

In the U.S., the Fed cut interest rates a second time in September. U.S. manufacturing data disappointed investors. The U.S. Congress announced it would pursue an impeachment investigation of President Trump. Meanwhile, the Brexit impasse showed no signs of resolution. Officials in China said that hitting the country’s economic growth goals for the year would be difficult considering the weight of tariffs and trade restrictions. Although the S&P 500 Index finished the third quarter with the best year-to-date returns in more than 20 years, concerns about future returns remained.

The fourth quarter of 2019 started on a strong note, with U.S.-China trade tensions relaxing in October along with renewed optimism for a U.K. Brexit deal and positive macroeconomic data. The initial estimate of U.S. third-quarter gross domestic product growth was a resilient 1.9% annualized rate, while the U.S. unemployment rate fell to a 50-year low of 3.5% in September. However, despite resilience among U.S. consumers, business confidence declined and manufacturing activity contracted. Concerned with a potential economic slowdown, the Fed lowered interest rates another quarter point in late October—its third rate cut in four months. This helped push the S&P 500 Index to a new all-time high while emerging market equities rallied and global bonds declined overall, reflecting a broad pickup in risk appetite.

Equity markets continued to rally in November despite ongoing geopolitical risks. Hopes for a U.S.-China trade deal buoyed investor confidence. U.S. business sentiment improved slightly, and manufacturing and services activity picked up. While consumer confidence and purchasing manager activity rose in the eurozone, China reported weakening manufacturing and consumer data. Bond yields rose marginally, leading to slightly negative returns for global government and investment-grade corporate bonds.

Financial markets ended 2019 with a boost from the U.S. and China accord on a Phase One trade deal. That, along with the landslide win by the pro-Brexit U.K. Conservative Party in a national election and ongoing central bank support, gave investors greater confidence. U.S. economic indicators were generally positive, with the exception of manufacturing activity and business confidence. Consumer confidence was resilient, fed by a robust labor market, tame inflation, and lower interest rates, which boosted housing affordability and stimulated homebuyer activity. The impeachment of U.S. President Donald Trump had little impact on markets. Meanwhile, slowing Chinese economic activity, partly attributable to the trade war, led to further government stimulus at year-end through lower reserve ratios, allowing banks to lend more money.

“The global spread of the coronavirus led country after country to clamp down on social and business-related activity in order to contain the virus from causing even greater devastation and overwhelming the health care system.”

The year-end rally continued in early January 2020. However, capital market volatility picked up sharply in late January on concerns over the potential impact of the coronavirus on the global economy and stock markets. With sentiment somewhat souring, perceived safe havens did well in January. The U.S. dollar and Japanese yen both rose, and government bonds outperformed equities. While the S&P 500 Index held its ground, emerging market equities tumbled, including those in Asia.

In February, the coronavirus became the major market focus. Fears of the virus’s impact on global growth led to expectations of increased global central bank monetary policy support. That led the 10-year U.S. Treasury yield to fall to an all-time low of 1.1% by the end of the month. Although equity markets initially shrugged off concerns about the outbreak, focusing instead on strong fourth-quarter earnings and improving business confidence in January, market sentiment turned sharply lower toward month-end and the S&P 500 Index lost 8.2% for the month. Oil prices tumbled as Russia and the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries compounded a major decline in oil demand with a brutal price war, partly aimed at dissuading further U.S. shale production. As a result, the price of West Texas Intermediate crude oil fell 13% in February and 27% for 2020 year to date.

The global spread of the coronavirus led country after country to clamp down on social and business-related activity in order to contain the virus from causing even greater devastation and overwhelming the health care system. This abrupt stoppage of economic activity led to the sharp deceleration of global output, sending economies into a deep contraction. Central bank responses were swift, as they slashed interest rates and expanded quantitative easing programs to restore liquidity and confidence to the markets. In the U.S., the Fed introduced several new lending programs, funding investment-grade bonds, money market mutual funds, and commercial paper while purchasing Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and overnight repurchase agreements. Meanwhile, stock markets tumbled quickly into a bear market, ending the longest bull stock market in U.S. history.

Markets rebounded strongly in April after the extreme volatility of the previous two months, with the S&P 500 Index gaining 12.8% for the month and the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net) returning 7.6%. The rebound was fueled by unprecedented stimulus measures taken by governments and central banks to buffer the economic damage created by mass shutdowns to try to contain the virus’s spread. The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 4.8% pace in the first quarter, with 30 million new unemployment insurance claims in six weeks. In the eurozone, first-quarter real gross domestic product (GDP) shrank 3.8%, with the composite April Flash Purchasing Managers’ Index, a monthly survey of purchasing managers, falling to an all-time low of 13.5. The ECB expanded its quantitative easing to include the purchase of additional government bonds of countries with the greatest virus-related need, including Italy and Spain. China’s first-quarter GDP fell by 6.8% year over year. However, retail sales, production, and investment showed signs of recovery. Extreme oil price volatility continued as global supply far exceeded demand.

In May, the equity market rebound continued, with the S&P 500 Index climbing a further 4.8%. European and Japanese stock markets also had monthly gains. Investors regained confidence on reports of early signs of success in human trials of a coronavirus vaccine. Global stocks continued to outperform value stocks while returns on global government bonds were generally flat. In the U.S., a gap grew between the stock market rebound and devastating economic data points, including an April unemployment rate of 14.7%, the highest level since World War II. Purchasing managers’ indices continued to reflect weakening activity in May in both the manufacturing and services sectors. U.S. corporate earnings reports indicated a 14% year-over-year contraction in earnings from the first quarter of 2019. However, high demand for technology, driven by remote activity, helped to maintain robust IT sector earnings, which helped to drive powerful well- known technology stocks higher.

Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results, and do not reflect taxes that a shareholder may pay on an investment in a fund. 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. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted, which assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund’s website, wfam.com.

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

For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. For Class C shares, the maximum contingent deferred sales charge is 1.00%. Performance including a contingent deferred sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period. Class R, Administrator Class, and Institutional Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, geographic risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION

Fund highlights

∎

The Fund underperformed the Asset Allocation Blended Index as well as the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index and the Russell 3000^® Index for the 13-month period that ended May 31, 2020. Meanwhile, the Fund outperformed the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net).

∎

An overweight to spread-related credit investments had an adverse impact on the fixed-income segment of the portfolio. Security selection within the domestic and international equity allocations detracted from performance as well.

∎

Asset allocation decisions benefited the Fund during the period, due largely to trades within our tactical asset allocation (TAA) futures overlay. A long exposure to the Japanese yen, which was initiated and closed in 2019, contributed to performance, as did our outright long position in S&P 500 futures, which was established amid the sell-off in the first quarter of 2020. Our overweight to Nasdaq 100 futures contributed as well.

Overweight to spread-related credit investments and security selection within equities detracted from performance.

An overweight to spread-related investments, including investment-grade credit and, to a lesser extent, high-yield bonds, had an adverse impact on the fixed-income segment of the portfolio as spreads widened during the 13-month period. Security selection within the domestic and international equity allocations detracted from performance as well. Specifically, the Fund’s exposure to two managers in the U.S. and international large-cap value segments detracted from the performance of the Fund’s equity portfolio.

The coronavirus pandemic upended the longest bull market on record.

After a stellar run in 2019 when U.S. and international equity markets rose sharply, risk markets came crashing down in the first quarter of 2020 amid the devastating impact of the global coronavirus pandemic that spread across Asia, Europe, and the U.S. From its peak on February 19 through its trough on March 23, the S&P 500 Index¹¹ fell by a whopping 34%. International markets suffered even larger peak-to-trough declines, while corporate bond spreads widened to levels last seen during the financial crisis in 2009. Although the magnitude of the drawdown was remarkable, it was the speed by which it happened that rocked investors who, accustomed perhaps to witness such declines over longer time periods, had to watch as trillions of dollars in equity market valuations were wiped out in the span of a few weeks.

For the 13-month period as a whole, U.S. large-cap equities, as measured by the S&P 500 Index, managed to eke out slightly positive gains, while small-cap stocks, as measured by the Russell 2000^® Index¹², lost 10.14%. International developed and emerging market stocks, as measured by the MSCI EAFE Index¹³ and the MSCI EM Index¹⁴, ended the period in negative territory with losses of 6.92% and -10.49%, respectively. Fixed-income investments, on the other hand, gained amid a precipitous decline in yields, which boosted bond prices. The Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index, a commonly used benchmark for the broad-based investment-grade U.S. bond market, rose by 10.42% during the period.

Within the Fund’s tactical asset allocation (TAA) futures overlay, we maintained a conservative posture until the sell-off this year presented us with an opportunity to add some risk to the portfolio. Specifically, during the spring of 2019, we introduced exposure to the Japanese yen, which tends to serve as a safe haven during times of market distress. We added to our defensive positions during the latter part of the summer of 2019 with a long exposure to

U.S. 10-year Treasury futures and a short position in S&P 500 Index futures. Our long yen position, which we closed out in mid-August 2019, contributed while our short S&P 500 Index futures position detracted from performance.

In the first quarter of 2020, we established a long position in Nasdaq 100 Index futures and a short position in Russell 2000^® Index futures. Both positions were implemented as relative-value trades: long/short positions paired with S&P 500 Index futures. We also initiated an equity overweight amid the sell-off by establishing an outright long position in S&P 500 Index futures. As markets rebounded in April, our long S&P 500 Index position added handsomely to performance, as did our long exposure to the Nasdaq 100 futures, which benefited from concentrated positions in technology stocks—an area of the market that has held up well this year.

Global macroeconomic conditions are clouded by the coronavirus.

After bottoming down about -31% year to date on March 23, the U.S. equity market was only off about -5% year to date at the end of May. Various surveys indicate that investors were expecting a U-shaped recovery, but so far we have seen a V shape without much time spent consolidating near the bottom. The VIX Index¹⁶ of implied volatility has retreated from levels in the 80s to more tractable levels in the 30s.

Interestingly, this sharp market recovery occurred while weekly unemployment claims have continued at a record-setting pace of 4 million to 6 million new claims. The previous record for weekly new unemployment claims was just under 700,000 in 1982. Normally, unemployment claims of this magnitude would have a severe negative effect on markets. These are not normal times.

In addition to the unemployment data, this self-imposed business shutdown has resulted in second-quarter 2020 gross domestic product estimates ranging from an annualized decline of 24% to as much as 40%. Not only are these shockingly high, it is also hard to infer any real meaning given the rapid magnitude, disparity, and uncertainty.

Regardless, the market has rebounded. Perhaps this reflects an expectation that jobs will return quickly once the shutdown restrictions are relaxed. This also seems to be reflected in forward gross domestic product forecasts that call for rebounds of around 20% to 25% in the third quarter of 2020 and a further 10% to 15% increase in the fourth quarter.

However, the concern remains: Will consumer demand be large enough to get back to full employment? Perhaps the shutdown will cause some businesses to permanently change their business model. Perhaps many consumers will change their consumption patterns. We will not know for several months. Historically the U.S. economy has generally been resilient due to its ability to innovate and adapt. We will continue to monitor the situation and look for answers while making appropriate changes in the portfolio.

Fund expenses (unaudited)

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchase payments and contingent deferred sales charges (if any) on redemptions and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees, distribution (12b-1) and/or shareholder servicing 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 six-month period and held for the entire period from December 1, 2019 to May 31, 2020.

Actual expenses

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

Hypothetical example for comparison purposes

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

Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as sales charges (loads) and contingent deferred sales charges. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

¹	Expenses paid is equal to the annualized net expense ratio of each class multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by the number of days in the most recent fiscal half-year divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (to reflect the one-half-year period).

Notes to financial statements

1. ORGANIZATION

Wells Fargo Fund Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.

During the period, the Fund changed its fiscal year end from April 30 to May 31, effective May 31, 2020. Accordingly, this report includes activity for the period from May 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020 and the year ended April 30, 2020.

The Fund is a fund-of-funds that invests in various affiliated mutual funds (“Underlying Funds”) employing a multi-asset, multi-style investment approach designed to reduce the price and return volatility of the Fund and to provide more consistent returns. The Fund may also invest directly in securities. The Underlying Funds incur separate expenses in seeking to achieve their investment objectives. Investments in affiliated Underlying Funds may also include investments in one or more separate diversified portfolios (collectively, the “affiliated Master Portfolios”) of Wells Fargo Master Trust, a registered open-end management investment company. Each affiliated Master Portfolio directly acquires portfolio securities and the Fund acquires an indirect interest in those securities. The Fund accounts for its investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of the affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios are presented in separate financial statements and may be obtained free of charge by contacting Investor Services or by visiting the SEC website at sec.gov. The financial statements of the affiliated Master Portfolios are filed with the SEC under Wells Fargo Master Trust. The financial statements for all other Underlying Funds are also publicly available on the SEC website at sec.gov.

2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

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

Securities valuation

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

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

Investments in underlying mutual funds are valued at net asset 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.

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

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

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

Notes to financial statements

Futures contracts

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

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

Investment transactions, income and expenses

Investments in the affiliated Master Portfolios are recorded on a trade basis. The Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expenses, and realized and unrealized gains or losses. The Fund also accrues its own expenses.

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

Income dividends and capital gain distributions from investment companies are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Capital gain distributions from investment companies are treated as realized gains.

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

Distributions to shareholders

Distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. Such distributions are determined in accordance with income tax regulations and may differ from U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Dividend sources are estimated at the time of declaration. The tax character of distributions is determined as of the Fund’s fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Fund’s distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.

Federal and other taxes

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

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

The aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes and net unrealized gains (losses) were as follows:



	Tax cost		Gross unrealized gains		Gross unrealized losses			Net unrealized gains

May 31, 2020	$	1,579,880,028	$	105,485,438	$	(25,998,890	)	$	79,486,548

April 30, 2020		1,587,944,711		59,991,671		(29,957,739	)		30,033,932

26 | Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund

Notes to financial statements

Reclassifications are made to the Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. The primary permanent difference causing such reclassification is due to foreign currency transactions. At May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:



	Paid-in capital			Total distributable earnings

May 31, 2020	$	(496	)	$	496

April 30, 2020		28,932			(28,932	)

Capital loss carryforwards available to offset future net realized capital gains were as follows:



	Short-term			Long-term

For the period from May 1, 2020 to May 31, 2020	$	(24,218,326	)	$	(8,518,149	)

Year ended April 30, 2020		(29,338,312	)		0

Class allocations

The separate classes of shares offered by the Fund differ principally in applicable sales charges, distribution, shareholder servicing, and administration fees. Class specific expenses are charged directly to that share class. Investment income, common fund-level expenses, and realized and unrealized gains (losses) on investments are allocated daily to each class of shares based on the relative proportion of net assets of each class.

3. FAIR VALUATION MEASUREMENTS

Fair value measurements of investments are determined within a framework that has established a fair value hierarchy based upon the various data inputs utilized in determining the value of 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 Fund’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

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

Distribution fees

The Trust has adopted a distribution plan for Class C and Class R shares of the Fund pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Distribution fees are charged to Class C and Class R shares and paid to Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC (“Funds Distributor”), the principal underwriter, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the average daily net assets of Class C shares and 0.25% of the average daily net assets of Class R shares.

In addition, Funds Distributor is entitled to receive the front-end sales charge from the purchase of Class A shares and a contingent deferred sales charge on the redemption of certain Class A shares.

A portion of these total shareholder servicing fees were paid to affiliates of Wells Fargo.

5. INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

The Fund seeks to achieve its investment objectives by investing some of its investable assets in affiliated Master Portfolios. Purchases and sales related to these investments have been calculated by aggregating the results of multiplying the Fund’s ownership percentage in the respective affiliated Master Portfolio by the corresponding affiliated Master Portfolio’s purchases and sales. Purchases and sales in affiliated Underlying Funds and unaffiliated securities in which the Funds invest are actual aggregate purchases and sales of those investments.

7. BANK BORROWINGS

Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on a borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate in effect on that day plus 1.25% or the overnight LIBOR rate in effect on that day plus 1.25%. In addition, an annual commitment fee equal to 0.25% of the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.

9. INDEMNIFICATION

Under the Fund’s organizational documents, the officers and Trustees have been granted certain indemnification rights against certain liabilities that may arise out of performance of their duties to the Fund. The Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under the Fund’s organizational documents into contractual rights that cannot be changed in the future without the consent of the Trustee. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against the Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

10. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

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

In March 2017, FASB issued ASU No. 2017-08, Premium Amortization on Purchased Callable Debt Securities. ASU 2017-08 shortens the amortization period for certain callable debt securities held at a premium and requires the premium to be amortized to the earliest call date. The amendments do not require an accounting change for securities held at a discount and discounts will continue to be accreted to the maturity date of the security. ASU 2017-08 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and for interim periods within those fiscal years. During the current reporting period, management of the Fund adopted the change in accounting policy which did not have a material impact to the Fund’s financial statements.

11. CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19) PANDEMIC

On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization announced that it had made the assessment that coronavirus disease 2019 (“COVID-19”) is a pandemic. The impacts of COVID-19 are adversely affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, and the market in general. There is significant uncertainty around the extent and duration of business disruptions related to COVID-19 and the impacts may be short term or may last for an extended period of time. The risk of further spreading of COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets. The value of the Fund and the affiliated Master Portfolios and securities in which the Fund invests have generally been adversely affected by impacts caused by COVID-19.

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Asset Allocation Fund (the Fund), one of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolios of investments, as of May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the related statements of operations for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and for the year ended April 30, 2020, the statements of changes in net assets for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and for each of the years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2020. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, the results of its operations for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and for the year ended April 30, 2020, the changes in its net assets for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and for each of the years in the two-year period ended April 30, 2020, and the financial highlights for the one month period ended May 31, 2020 and each of the years in the five-year period ended April 30, 2020, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of May 31, 2020 and April 30, 2020, by correspondence with the custodian, borker and transfer agent. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Front-end sales charge* waivers on Class A shares available at Janney

Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment when purchasing shares of the same fund (but not any other fund within the fund family).

Shares purchased by employees and registered representatives of Janney or its affiliates and their family members as designated by Janney.

Shares purchased from the proceeds of redemptions within the same fund family, provided (1) the repurchase occurs within ninety (90) days following the redemption, (2) the redemption and purchase occur in the same account, and (3) redeemed shares were subject to a front-end or deferred sales load (i.e., right of reinstatement).

Employer-sponsored retirement plans (e.g., 401(k) plans, 457 plans, employer-sponsored 403(b) plans, profit sharing and money purchase pension plans and defined benefit plans). For purposes of this provision, employer-sponsored retirement plans do not include SEP IRAs, Simple IRAs, SAR-SEPs or Keogh plans.

Shares acquired through a right of reinstatement.

Class C shares that are no longer subject to a contingent deferred sales charge and are converted to Class A shares of the same fund pursuant to Janney’s policies and procedures.

CDSC waivers on Class A and Class C shares available at Janney

Shares sold upon the death or disability of the shareholder.

Shares sold as part of a systematic withdrawal plan as described in the Fund’s Prospectus.

Shares purchased in connection with a return of excess contributions from an IRA account.

Shares exchanged into the same share class of a different fund.

Front-end sales charge* discounts available at Janney; breakpoints, rights of accumulation and/or letters of intent

Eligible fund family assets not held at Janney may be included in the ROA calculation only if the shareholder notifies his or her financial advisor about such assets.

Letters of intent which allow for breakpoint discounts based on anticipated purchases within a fund family, over a 13-month time period.

Effective on or after May 1, 2020, clients of Edward Jones (also referred to as “shareholders”) purchasing Fund shares on the Edward Jones commission and fee-based platforms are eligible only for the following sales charge discounts (also referred to as “breakpoints”) and waivers, which can differ from breakpoints and waivers described elsewhere in the Fund’s Prospectus or SAI or through another broker-dealer. In all instances, it is the shareholder’s responsibility to inform Edward Jones at the time of purchase of any relationship, holdings of Wells Fargo Funds or other facts qualifying the purchaser for breakpoints or waivers. Edward Jones can ask for documentation of such circumstance.

Breakpoints available at Edward Jones

Rights of Accumulation (ROA)

The applicable sales charge on a purchase of Class A shares is determined by taking into account all share classes (except any money market funds and retirement plan share classes) of Wells Fargo Funds held by the shareholder or in an account grouped by Edward Jones with other accounts for the purpose of providing certain pricing considerations (“pricing groups”). This includes all share classes held on the Edward Jones platform and/or held on another platform. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the rights of accumulation calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation.

ROA is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value (current shares x NAV).

Letter of Intent (LOI)

Through a LOI, shareholders can receive the sales charge and breakpoint discounts for purchases shareholders intend to makeover a 13-month period from the date Edward Jones receives the LOI. The LOI is determined by calculating the higher of cost or market value of qualifying holdings at LOI initiation in combination with the value that the shareholder intends to buy over a 13-month period to calculate the front-end sales charge and any breakpoint discounts. Each purchase the shareholder makes during that 13-month period will receive the sales charge and breakpoint discount that applies to the total amount. The inclusion of eligible fund family assets in the LOI calculation is dependent on the shareholder notifying his or her financial advisor of such assets at the time of calculation. Purchases made before the LOI is received by Edward Jones are not covered under the LOI and will not reduce the sales charge previously paid. Sales charges will be adjusted if LOI is not met.

Sales charges are waived for the following shareholders and in the following situations at Edward Jones:

● Associates of Edward Jones and its affiliates and their family members who are in the same pricing group (as determined by Edward Jones under its policies and procedures) as the associate. This waiver will continue for the remainder of the associate’s life if the associate retires from Edward Jones in good-standing.

● Shares purchased in an Edward Jones fee-based program.

● Shares purchased through reinvestment of capital gains distributions and dividend reinvestment.

● Shares purchased from the proceeds of redeemed shares of the same fund family so long as the following conditions are met: 1)the proceeds are from the sale of shares within 60 days of the purchase, and 2) the sale and purchase are made in the same share class and the same account or the purchase is made in an individual retirement account with proceeds from liquidations in anon-retirement account.

● Shares exchanged into Class A shares from another share class so long as the exchange is into the same fund and was initiated at the discretion of Edward Jones. Edward Jones is responsible for any remaining CDSC due to the fund company, if applicable. Any future purchases are subject to the applicable sales charge as disclosed in the prospectus.

● Exchanges from Class C shares to Class A shares of the same fund, generally, in the 84th month following the anniversary of the purchase date or earlier at the discretion of Edward Jones.

If the shareholder purchases shares that are subject to a CDSC and those shares are redeemed before the CDSC is expired, the shareholder
is responsible to pay the CDSC except in the following conditions available at Edward Jones:

● The death or disability of the shareholder.

● Systematic withdrawals with up to 10% per year of the account value.

● Return of excess contributions from an Individual Retirement Account (IRA).

● Shares sold as part of a required minimum distribution for IRA and retirement accounts if the redemption is taken in or after the year the shareholder reaches qualified age based on applicable IRS regulation.

● Shares sold to pay Edward Jones fees or costs in such cases where the transaction is initiated by Edward Jones.

● Shares exchanged in an Edward Jones fee-based program.

● Shares acquired through NAV reinstatement.
