Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Target Date Funds for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2021. Despite the initial challenges presented by the spread of COVID-19 cases and the business restrictions implemented throughout much of the world, global stocks showed robust returns, supported by global stimulus programs, a rapid vaccination rollout, and a recovering consumer and corporate sentiment. Bond markets also produced positive returns, as investors searched for yield and diversification during difficult market stretches.
For the 12-month period, equities had robust returns, as policy-makers continued to fight the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emerging market stocks led both U.S. and non-U.S. developed market stocks. While gains from fixed-income securities were positive, they were more modest than equities. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index1, gained 31.29%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net)2, returned 26.18%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net)3, had stronger performance, with a 36.05% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned 1.38%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 gained 6.28%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 returned 1.06% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 returned 8.62%.
The COVID-19 lockdown began almost a year ago.
The global spread of COVID-19 led country after country to clamp down on social- and business-related activity in order to contain the virus. This sent economies into a deep contraction. Central banks responded by slashing interest rates and expanding quantitative easing programs to restore liquidity and market confidence. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) launched several lending programs, funding investment-grade bonds, money market mutual funds, and commercial paper while purchasing Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and overnight repurchase aggrements. Meanwhile, stock markets tumbled, ending the longest bull stock market in U.S. history.
Markets rebounded strongly through the spring, fueled by unprecedented government and central bank stimulus measures in the U.S. and globally. The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 5.0% 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%. China’s first-quarter GDP fell by 6.8% year over year. Extreme oil-price volatility continued as global supply far exceeded demand.
Markets rebounded strongly through the spring, fueled by unprecedented government and central bank stimulus measures in the U.S. and globally.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
In May, investors regained confidence on reports of early success in human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine. Growth stocks outperformed value, while returns on global government bonds were flat. However, in the U.S., the April unemployment rate rose to 14.7%, its highest level since World War II. Purchasing Managers’ Indexes (PMIs), a monthly survey of purchasing managers, reflected broadly weakening activity in May. U.S. corporate earnings contracted 14% year over year from the first quarter of 2019. However, high demand for information technology (IT), driven by remote activity, supported robust IT sector earnings, which helped drive IT stocks higher.
By June, economies reopened and global central banks committed to do all they could to provide economic support through liquidity and low borrowing costs. U.S. economic activity was aided by one-time $1,200 stimulus checks and $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefits that lasted through July. However, unemployment remained historically high and COVID-19 cases began to increase by late June. China’s economic recovery began to pick up momentum.
July was broadly positive for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter GDP shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the Fed’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced IT stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February 2020. The eurozone services PMI contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.

February saw major domestic equity indexes driven higher on the hope of a new stimulus bill, improving COVID-19 vaccination numbers, and the gradual reopening of the economy.
The year 2021 began with emerging market stocks leading all major asset classes in January, driven by China’s strong economic growth and a broad recovery in corporate earnings, which propelled China’s stock market higher. In the United States, positive news on vaccine trials and January's expansion in both the manufacturing and services sectors was offset by a weak December monthly jobs report. This was compounded by technical factors as some hedge funds were forced to sell stocks to protect themselves against a well-publicized short squeeze coordinated by a group of retail investors. Eurozone sentiment and economic growth were particularly weak, reflecting the impact of a new lockdown with stricter social distancing along with a slow vaccine rollout.
February saw major domestic equity indexes driven higher on the hope of a new stimulus bill, improving COVID-19 vaccination numbers, and the gradual reopening of the economy. Most S&P 500 companies reported better-than-expected earnings, with positive surprises coming from the financial, IT, health care, and materials sectors. Japan saw its economy strengthen as a result of strong export numbers. Meanwhile, crude oil prices continued their climb, rising more than 25% for the year. Domestic government bonds experienced a sharp sell-off in late February as markets priced in a more robust economic recovery and higher future growth and inflation expectations.
Don’t let short-term uncertainty derail long-term investment goals.
Periods of investment uncertainty can present challenges, but experience has taught us that maintaining long-term investment goals can be an effective way to plan for the future. To help you create a sound strategy based on your personal goals and risk tolerance, Wells Fargo Funds offers more than 100 mutual funds spanning a wide range of asset classes and investment styles. Although diversification cannot guarantee an investment profit or prevent losses, we believe it can be an effective way to manage investment risk and potentially smooth out overall portfolio performance. We encourage investors to know their investments and to understand that appropriate levels of risk-taking may unlock opportunities.
Thank you for choosing to invest with Wells Fargo Funds. We appreciate your confidence in us and remain committed to helping you meet your financial needs.
Sincerely,

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
Each Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by each Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. Each Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information.

The target date represents the year in which investors may likely begin withdrawing assets. The Funds gradually seek to reduce market risk as the target date approaches and after it arrives by decreasing equity exposure and increasing fixed income exposure. The principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.
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 each Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on each Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Funds will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Funds are exposed to foreign investment risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, regulatory risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Funds’ prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

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%.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
The Wells Fargo Target Date Funds seek to manage the asset allocation and risk profile of multi-asset-class funds for investors as they save for their target retirement date. The strategic asset allocations are designed to provide high levels of diversification across equity and fixed-income investments. Our approach to portfolio construction helps investors make more aggressive allocations when they may be most beneficial while remaining diversified to manage risks during bear markets.
All of the Wells Fargo Target Date Funds invest at different allocation levels in the same underlying portfolios, which seek to gain exposure to a blend of factor-enhanced equity and factor-enhanced bond investments, including domestic, international, and emerging market equities and debt. The breadth and depth of diversification and disciplined asset allocation help manage risk but does not eliminate it. The factor-enhanced equity portfolios contain a broad mix of large-cap, mid-cap, small-cap, growth, value, and international stocks, including emerging markets. The fixed-income portfolios invest in several types of fixed-income securities, including U.S. and non-U.S. government bonds, corporate bonds, and high-yield securities. In addition, depending on the number of years to the target retirement date, the portfolios invest in other assets such as real estate investment trusts (REITs) and Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities.
The Funds address investment risk through diversification and disciplined asset allocation.
The Wells Fargo Target Date Funds are designed to become more conservative as a fund moves down the glide path and its target date approaches. Our goal is to manage the relative risk of each Fund as dictated by the glide path. A fund’s targeted risk is not the same as a fund’s equity allocation percentage because fixed-income securities, other assets, and cash equivalents carry risks. While asset allocation and diversification do not ensure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses, we adjust each Fund’s allocations to equities, fixed income, other assets, and cash equivalents on a monthly basis in response to changing market conditions and the Fund’s movement down the strategic glide path, which represents relative risk as it moves toward the target retirement date.
Global equity markets rose sharply during the 12-month period.
Equity markets rose sharply during the 12-month period despite the sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020. Mounting fears of the rapid spread of COVID-19 and the economic impact of shutdowns in the U.S. and across the globe sent markets reeling in February and March 2020. In fact, markets experienced their fastest bear market in history. The subsequent recovery, which picked up steam in the second quarter of 2020, was just as remarkable. After a miserable first quarter, equity markets posted their strongest second-quarter gains in more than 20 years. During the period as a whole, global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI (Net)1, rose by 30.25%, while the U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, gained 1.38%.
For the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2021, each Wells Fargo Target Date Fund posted positive returns. Twelve Funds comprise the Wells Fargo Target Date Funds. Seven of the Funds offer six share classes, including two classes with sales charges. The Funds lagged their respective benchmarks, the S&P Target Date Indexes, during the period. The underperformance was driven by lower strategic allocations to equities, a more conservative glide path, as well as some of the underlying Factor-Enhanced Equity portfolios, which trailed their broad-based market indexes during the 12-month period. Within the equity segment of the Funds, the Factor-Enhanced U.S. Large Cap, Factor Enhanced U.S. Small Cap, and Factor Enhanced Emerging Market Equity portfolios underperformed their broad market indexes, while the Factor-Enhanced International Equity portfolio outperformed its benchmark.
Outlook
2021 is a year of second chances. Going into 2020, trailing earnings for companies in the S&P 500 Index3 were around $157 billion. We think corporate America should be able to earn that back. Also going into 2020, there was hope of a synchronized global recovery after the fallout from the U.S.-China trade war. Now there is hope of a synchronized global

recovery with the help of the COVID-19 vaccine. The difference is that while in 2020, we were starting very late in the cycle, we are now starting with synchronized growth and a brand new cycle in front of us.
Indicators are pointing to a decent first quarter, but the rebound is likely to be uneven with the U.S. and emerging markets advancing faster than Europe and Japan and manufacturing maintaining momentum while services struggle to get some footing. Breakeven inflation rates and yields have risen sharply this year. Inflation uncertainty is high, but the consensus seems to be revising growth expectations upward from a modest recovery to something much more robust.

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 September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.
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.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Target Today Fund (“Target Today Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2010 Fund (“Target 2010 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2015 Fund (“Target 2015 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2020 Fund (“Target 2020 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2025 Fund (“Target 2025 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2030 Fund (“Target 2030 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2035 Fund (“Target 2035 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2040 Fund (“Target 2040 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2045 Fund (“Target 2045 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2050 Fund (“Target 2050 Fund”), Wells Fargo Target 2055 Fund (“Target 2055 Fund”), and Wells Fargo Target 2060 Fund (“Target 2060 Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund is a fund-of-funds which seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in multiple 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 a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as 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 each affiliated Master Portfolio 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.
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo & Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo & Company and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to each Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, each Fund's principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo & Company will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of each Fund's investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement. Each Fund's Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of each Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income 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 Funds 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 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. 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

Notes to financial statements
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.
Investment transactions, income and expenses
Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios are recorded on a trade date basis.
Each Fund records daily its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains or losses. Each Fund also accrues its own expenses. Income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
Distributions to shareholders
For each Fund (except Target Today Fund, Target 2010 Fund and Target 2015 Fund), distributions to shareholders from net investment income and any net realized gains are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid at least annually. For Target Today Fund, Target 2010 Fund and Target 2015 Fund, distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date and paid from net investment income quarterly and any net realized gains are 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 each Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of each Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns for all open tax years and does not believe that there are any uncertain tax positions that require recognition of a tax liability.
As of February 28, 2021, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes and the unrealized gains (losses) were as follows:
  Tax cost Gross
unrealized
gains
Gross
unrealized
losses
Net

Notes to financial statements
Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At February 28, 2021, 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
Target Today Fund $ 4,166 $ (4,166)
Target 2010 Fund 4,314 (4,314)
Target 2015 Fund 4,711 (4,711)
Target 2020 Fund 24,161 (24,161)
Target 2025 Fund 13,269 (13,269)
Target 2030 Fund 30,666 (30,666)

Target 2050 Fund 6,179 (6,179)
Target 2055 Fund 951 (951)
Target 2060 Fund 556 (556)
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each 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.

For the year ended February 28, 2021, the management fee was equivalent to an annual rate of 0.10% of each Fund’s average daily net assets.
Funds Management has retained the services of a subadviser to provide daily portfolio management to each Fund. The fee for subadvisory services is borne by Funds Management. Wells Capital Management Incorporated, an affiliate of Funds Management and an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Wells Fargo, is the subadviser to each Fund and is entitled to receive a fee from Funds Management at an annual rate starting at 0.05% and declining to 0.03% as the average daily net assets of each Fund increase.

When only certain classes exceed their expense caps, waivers and/or reimbursements are applied against class specific expenses before fund-level expenses. Funds Management has committed through June 30, 2021 to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap expenses. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the cap may be increased or the commitment to maintain the cap may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees.

8. INDEMNIFICATION
Under each 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 each Fund. Each Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under each 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, each Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against each Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.

10. 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 affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, 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 last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Report of independent registered public accounting firm
To the Shareholders of the Funds and Board of Trustees
Wells Fargo Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Target Today Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2010 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2015 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2020 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2025 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2030 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2035 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2040 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2045 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2050 Fund, Wells Fargo Target 2055 Fund, and Wells Fargo Target 2060 Fund (collectively, the Funds), twelve of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolios of investments, as of February 28, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 28, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2021, by correspondence with the 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.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.

Letter to shareholders (unaudited)
Andrew Owen
President
Wells Fargo Funds
Dear Shareholder:
We are pleased to offer you this annual report for the Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Date Funds for the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2021. Despite the initial challenges presented by the spread of COVID-19 cases and the business restrictions implemented throughout much of the world, global stocks showed robust returns, supported by global stimulus programs, a rapid vaccination rollout, and a recovering consumer and corporate sentiment. Bond markets also produced positive returns, as investors searched for yield and diversification during difficult market stretches.
For the 12-month period, equities had robust returns, as policy-makers continued to fight the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Emerging market stocks led both U.S. and non-U.S. developed market stocks. While gains from fixed-income securities were positive, they were more modest than equities. For the period, U.S. stocks, based on the S&P 500 Index1, gained 31.29%. International stocks, as measured by the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net)2, returned 26.18%, while the MSCI EM Index (Net)3, had stronger performance, with a 36.05% gain. Among bond indexes, the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index4 returned 1.38%, the Bloomberg Barclays Global Aggregate ex-USD Index (unhedged)5 gained 6.28%, and the Bloomberg Barclays Municipal Bond Index6 returned 1.06% while the ICE BofA U.S. High Yield Index7 returned 8.62%.
The COVID-19 lockdown began almost a year ago.
The global spread of COVID-19 led country after country to clamp down on social- and business-related activity in order to contain the virus. This sent economies into a deep contraction. Central banks responded by slashing interest rates and expanding quantitative easing programs to restore liquidity and market confidence. The U.S. Federal Reserve (Fed) launched several lending programs, funding investment-grade bonds, money market mutual funds, and commercial paper while purchasing Treasuries, mortgage-backed securities, and overnight repurchase aggrements. Meanwhile, stock markets tumbled, ending the longest bull stock market in U.S. history.
Markets rebounded strongly through the spring, fueled by unprecedented government and central bank stimulus measures in the U.S. and globally. The U.S. economy contracted by an annualized 5.0% 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%. China’s first-quarter GDP fell by 6.8% year over year. Extreme oil-price volatility continued as global supply far exceeded demand.

In May, investors regained confidence on reports of early success in human trials of a COVID-19 vaccine. Growth stocks outperformed value, while returns on global government bonds were flat. However, in the U.S., the April unemployment rate rose to 14.7%, its highest level since World War II. Purchasing Managers’ Indexes (PMIs), a monthly survey of purchasing managers, reflected broadly weakening activity in May. U.S. corporate earnings contracted 14% year over year from the first quarter of 2019. However, high demand for information technology (IT), driven by remote activity, supported robust IT sector earnings, which helped drive IT stocks higher.
By June, economies reopened and global central banks committed to do all they could to provide economic support through liquidity and low borrowing costs. U.S. economic activity was aided by one-time $1,200 stimulus checks and $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefits that lasted through July. However, unemployment remained historically high and COVID-19 cases began to increase by late June. China’s economic recovery began to pick up momentum.
July was broadly positive for equities and fixed income. However, economic data and a resurgence of COVID-19 cases underscored the urgent need to regain control of the pandemic. Second-quarter GDP shrank from the previous quarter by 9.5% and 12.1% in the U.S. and the eurozone, respectively. In contrast, China’s second-quarter GDP grew 3.2% year over year. The U.S. economy added 1.8 million jobs in July, but a double-digit jobless rate persisted.
The stock market continued to rally in August despite concerns over rising numbers of U.S. and European COVID-19 cases as well as the expiration of the $600 weekly bonus unemployment benefit in July. Relatively strong second-quarter earnings boosted investor sentiment along with the Fed’s announcement of a monetary policy shift expected to support longer-term low interest rates. U.S. manufacturing and services activity indexes beat expectations while the U.S. housing market maintained strength. In Europe, retail sales expanded and consumer confidence was steady. China’s economy continued to expand.
Stocks grew more volatile in September on mixed economic data. U.S. economic activity continued to grow. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated at 7.9% in September. With U.S. Congress delaying further fiscal relief and uncertainties surrounding a possible vaccine, doubts crept back into the financial markets. In the U.K., a lack of progress in Brexit talks weighed on markets. China’s economy picked up steam, fueled by increased global demand.
In October, capital markets stepped back from their six-month rally. Market volatility rose in advance of the U.S. election and amid a global increase in COVID-19 infections. Europe introduced tighter restrictions affecting economic activity. U.S. markets looked favorably at the prospect of Democratic control of the federal purse strings, which could lead to additional fiscal stimulus and a boost to economic activity. Meanwhile, China reported 4.9% third-quarter GDP growth.
Global stocks rallied in November, propelled by optimism over three promising COVID-19 vaccines. Reversing recent trends, value stocks outperformed growth stocks and cyclical stocks outpaced IT stocks. However, U.S. unemployment remained elevated, with a net job loss of 10 million since February. The eurozone services PMI contracted sharply while the region’s manufacturing activity grew. The U.S. election results added to the upbeat mood as investors anticipated more consistent policies in the new administration.
Financial markets ended the year with strength on high expectations for a rapid rollout of the COVID-19 vaccines, the successful passage of a $900 billion stimulus package, and rising expectations of additional economic support from a Democratic-led Congress. U.S. economic data were mixed with still-elevated unemployment and weak retail sales but growth in manufacturing output. In contrast, China’s economic expansion continued in both manufacturing and nonmanufacturing. U.S. COVID-19 infection rates continued to rise even as new state and local lockdown measures were implemented.

February saw major domestic equity indexes driven higher on the hope of a new stimulus bill, improving COVID-19 vaccination numbers, and the gradual reopening of the economy.
The year 2021 began with emerging market stocks leading all major asset classes in January, driven by China’s strong economic growth and a broad recovery in corporate earnings, which propelled China’s stock market higher. In the United States, positive news on vaccine trials and January expansion in both the manufacturing and services sectors was offset by a weak December monthly jobs report. This was compounded by technical factors as some hedge funds were forced to sell stocks to protect themselves against a well-publicized short squeeze coordinated by a group of retail investors. Eurozone sentiment and economic growth were particularly weak, reflecting the impact of a new lockdown with stricter social distancing along with a slow vaccine rollout.
February saw major domestic equity indexes driven higher on the hope of a new stimulus bill, improving COVID-19 vaccination numbers, and the gradual reopening of the economy. Most S&P 500 companies reported better-than-expected earnings, with positive surprises coming from the financial, IT, health care, and materials sectors. Japan saw its economy strengthen as a result of strong export numbers. Meanwhile, crude oil prices continued their climb, rising more than 25% for the year. Domestic government bonds experienced a sharp sell-off in late February as markets priced in a more robust economic recovery and higher future growth and inflation expectations.

Preparing for LIBOR Transition
The global financial industry is preparing to transition away from the London Interbank Offered Rate (LIBOR), a key benchmark interest rate, to new alternative rates. LIBOR underpins more than $350 trillion of financial contracts. It is the benchmark rate for a wide spectrum of products ranging from residential mortgages to corporate bonds to derivatives. Regulators have called for a market-wide transition away from LIBOR to successor reference rates by the end of 2021 (extended through June 30, 2023 for most tenors of the U.S. dollar LIBOR), which requires proactive steps be taken by issuers, counterparties, and asset managers to identify impacted products and adopt new reference rates.
Each Fund holds at least one security that uses LIBOR as a floating reference rate and has a maturity date after 12-31-2021.
Although the transition process away from LIBOR has become increasingly well-defined in advance of the anticipated discontinuation date, there remains uncertainty regarding the nature of successor reference rates, and any potential effects of the transition away from LIBOR on investment instruments that use it as a benchmark rate. The transition process may result in, among other things, increased volatility or illiquidity in markets for instruments that currently rely on LIBOR and could negatively impact the value of certain instruments held by each Fund.
Wells Fargo Asset Management is monitoring LIBOR exposure closely and has put resources and controls in place to manage this transition effectively. Each Fund’s portfolio management team is evaluating LIBOR holdings to understand what happens to those securities when LIBOR ceases to exist, including examining security documentation to identify the presence or absence of fallback language identifying a replacement rate to LIBOR.
While the pace of transition away from LIBOR will differ by asset class and investment strategy, the portfolio management team will monitor market conditions for those holdings to identify and mitigate deterioration or volatility in pricing and liquidity and ensure appropriate actions are taken in a timely manner.
Further information regarding the potential risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR can be found in the Funds' Statement of Additional Information.

The target date represents the year in which investors may likely begin withdrawing assets. The Funds gradually seek to reduce market risk as the target date approaches and after it arrives by decreasing equity exposure and increasing fixed income exposure. The principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date.
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 each Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on each Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Securities issued by U.S. government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be guaranteed by the U.S. Treasury. The Funds will indirectly be exposed to all of the risks of an investment in the underlying funds and will indirectly bear expenses of the underlying funds. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The Funds are exposed to foreign investment risk, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, regulatory risk, and smaller-company investment risk. Consult the Funds’ prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios shown in the financial highlights of this report.
2 The manager has contractually committed through June 30, 2021, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers at 0.68% for Class A, 1.43% for Class C, 0.37% for Class R4, and 0.22% for Class R6. Brokerage commissions, stamp duty fees, interest, taxes, acquired fund fees and expenses (if any) from funds in which the affiliated master portfolios invest and from money market funds, and extraordinary expenses are excluded from the expense caps. All other acquired fund fees and expenses from the affiliated master portfolios are included in the expense caps. Prior to or after the commitment expiration date, the caps may be increased or the commitment to maintain the caps may be terminated only with the approval of the Board of Trustees. Without these caps, the Fund’s returns would have been lower. The expense ratio paid by an investor is the net expense ratio (the total annual fund operating expenses after fee waivers) as stated in the prospectuses.

3 Standard deviation is the square root of the sum of squared deviations from the mean. It is often used as a measure of volatility, variability, or risk. Standard deviation is based on historical performance and does not represent future results.
4 R-squared (R2) is a statistical measure that reflects the percentage of a fund’s movements that can be explained by movements in its benchmark index. The measure ranges from 0.0, which means that the fund’s performance bears no relationship to the performance of the index, to 1.0, which means that the fund’s performance was perfectly synchronized with the performance of the benchmark. R2 is based on historical performance and does not represent future results.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION
Fund highlights
The Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Date Funds seek to manage the asset allocation and risk profile of multi-asset-class funds for investors as they save for their target retirement date. The strategic asset allocations are designed to provide high levels of diversification across equity and fixed-income investments. Our approach to portfolio construction helps investors make more aggressive allocations when they may be most beneficial while managing risks during bear markets through diversification.
The portfolio management team employs three levers as it seeks to manage investment risk.
The Dynamic Target Date Funds’ portfolio management team incorporates three levers as it seeks to manage investment risk over each Fund’s investment time horizon: tactical asset allocation, volatility management, and tail risk management. Tactical asset allocation, as a futures overlay, uses timely shifts toward assets with higher expected returns and is driven by the market outlook of the Wells Fargo Multi-Asset Solutions team. Volatility management reduces exposure to risk assets in high-volatility markets and adds risk assets in low-volatility markets. Tail risk management uses institutional hedging techniques to mitigate risk during severe market downturns when a portfolio’s value falls to a specific level. Together, volatility management and tail risk management comprise the Funds’ dynamic risk-hedging (DRH) strategy.
Global equity markets rose sharply during the 12-month period.
Equity markets rose sharply during the 12-month period, despite the sharp sell-off in the first quarter of 2020. Mounting fears of the rapid spread of COVID-19 and the economic impact of U.S. and global shutdowns sent markets reeling in February and March 2020. In fact, markets experienced their fastest bear market in history. The subsequent recovery, which picked up steam in the second quarter of 2020, was just as remarkable. After a miserable first quarter, equity markets posted their strongest second-quarter gains in more than 20 years. During the period as a whole, global equities, as measured by the MSCI ACWI (Net)1, rose by 30.25%, while the U.S. bond market, as measured by the Bloomberg Barclays U.S. Aggregate Bond Index2, gained 1.38%.
For the 12-month period that ended February 28, 2021, each Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Date Fund posted positive returns. The longer-dated Funds generated higher absolute returns due to their higher allocations to equities. Eleven funds, each offering four share classes, including two classes with sales charges, comprise the Dynamic Target Date Fund series. In general, the benchmark-relative performance tended to be higher for the near-dated Funds, as those Funds have higher strategic allocations to equities relative to their respective benchmarks. As a whole, the Funds’ underlying style selection detracted from benchmark-relative performance. The Factor Enhanced U.S. Large Cap, Factor Enhanced U.S. Small Cap, and Factor Enhanced Emerging Markets Equity portfolios trailed their broad market indexes, while the Factor Enhanced International Equity portfolio outperformed its benchmark.
Over the period, tactical asset allocation activities executed within the Funds contributed to relative performance. The largest contributor to performance was a long S&P 500 Index3 futures position, which was initiated in mid-March 2020 amid the height of the COVID-19-induced sell-off. The team held the position until July 2020, when it was sold at a handsome profit. The DRH overlay strategy, on the other hand, detracted from performance during the period. Although the tail risk management strategy contributed to the performance of the Funds, it was offset by the negative impact from the volatility management strategy.
Outlook
2021 is a year of second chances. Going into 2020, trailing earnings for companies in the S&P 500 Index were around $157 billion. We think corporate America should be able to earn that back. Also going into 2020, there was hope of a synchronized global recovery after the fallout from the U.S.-China trade war. Now there is hope of a synchronized global recovery with the help of the COVID-19 vaccine. The difference is that while in 2020 we were starting very late in the cycle, we are now starting with synchronized growth and a brand new cycle in front of us.

MANAGER’S DISCUSSION (continued)
Indicators are pointing to a decent first quarter, but the rebound is likely to be uneven with the U.S. and emerging markets advancing faster than Europe and Japan and manufacturing maintaining momentum while services struggle to get some footing. Breakeven inflation rates and yields have risen sharply this year. Inflation uncertainty is high, but the consensus seems to be revising growth expectations upward from a modest recovery to something much more robust.
We will continue to monitor the situation carefully and stand ready to adjust exposures as needed.

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 September 1, 2020 to February 28, 2021.
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.

Notes to financial statements
1. ORGANIZATION
Wells Fargo Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial Services – Investment Companies. These financial statements report on the following funds: Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Today Fund (“Dynamic Target Today Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2015 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2015 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2020 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2020 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2025 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2025 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2030 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2030 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2035 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2035 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2040 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2040 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2045 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2045 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2050 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2050 Fund”), Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2055 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2055 Fund”), and Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2060 Fund (“Dynamic Target 2060 Fund”) (each, a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”). Each Fund is a diversified series of the Trust.
Each Fund is a fund-of-funds which seeks to achieve its investment objective by investing in multiple 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 a Fund investing in an affiliated Master Portfolio acquires an indirect interest in those securities. Each Fund accounts for its investment in the affiliated Master Portfolios as partnership investments and records on a daily basis its share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expense and realized and unrealized gains and losses. The financial statements of each affiliated Master Portfolio 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.
On February 23, 2021, Wells Fargo & Company announced that it has entered into a definitive agreement to sell Wells Fargo Asset Management (“WFAM”) to GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. WFAM is the trade name used by the asset management businesses of Wells Fargo & Company and includes Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC, the investment manager to each Fund, Wells Capital Management Incorporated and Wells Fargo Asset Management (International) Limited, both registered investment advisers providing sub-advisory services to certain funds, and Wells Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, each Fund's principal underwriter. As part of the transaction, Wells Fargo & Company will own a 9.9% equity interest and will continue to serve as an important client and distribution partner. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
Consummation of the transaction will result in the automatic termination of each Fund's investment management agreement and sub-advisory agreement. Each Fund's Board of Trustees will be asked to approve new investment management arrangements with the new company. If approved by the Board, the new investment management arrangements with the new company will be presented to the shareholders of each Fund for approval, and, if approved by shareholders, would take effect upon the closing of the transaction. The transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.
2. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The following significant accounting policies, which are consistently followed in the preparation of the financial statements of each Fund, are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles which require management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of income 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 Funds 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.
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.

Target Date Retirement Funds  |  127


Notes to financial statements
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.
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. 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.
Futures contracts
Futures contracts are agreements between each Fund and a counterparty to buy or sell a specific amount of a commodity, financial instrument or currency at a specified price on a specified date. Each Fund may buy and sell futures contracts in order to gain exposure to, or protect against, changes in interest rates, security 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 contract, 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 Statements 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 Statements of Operations.
Investment transactions, income and expenses
Investments in affiliated Master Portfolios and securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Each Fund records on a daily basis its proportionate share of each affiliated Master Portfolio’s income, expenses and realized and unrealized gains and losses. Each Fund also accrues its own expenses. Income from foreign securities in each affiliated Master Portfolio is recorded net of foreign taxes withheld where recovery of such taxes is not assured.
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 each Fund's fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of each Fund's distributions made prior to the Fund’s fiscal year end may be categorized as a tax return of capital at year end.
Federal and other taxes
Each Fund is treated as a separate entity for federal income tax purposes. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company by distributing substantially all of its investment company taxable income and any net realized capital gains (after reduction for capital loss carryforwards) sufficient to relieve it from all, or substantially all, federal income taxes. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes was required.
Each Fund’s income and federal excise tax returns and all financial records supporting those returns for the prior three fiscal years are subject to examination by the federal and Delaware revenue authorities. Management has analyzed each Fund's tax

Reclassifications are made to each Fund’s capital accounts for permanent tax differences to reflect income and gains available for distribution (or available capital loss carryforwards) under federal income tax regulations. U.S. generally accepted accounting principles require that certain components of net assets be adjusted to reflect permanent differences between financial and tax reporting. These reclassifications have no effect on net assets or net asset values per share. At February 28, 2021, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, the following reclassification adjustments were made on the Statements of Assets and Liabilities:

As of February 28, 2021, the Dynamic Target 2060 Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consisted of $12,802 in short-term capital losses and $4,970 in long-term capital losses.
Class allocations
The separate classes of shares offered by each 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 each 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). Each 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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing each Fund’s assets and liabilities as of February 28, 2021:

  % of ownership
Dynamic Target Today Fund 82.17%

10. INDEMNIFICATION
Under each 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 each Fund. Each Fund has entered into a separate agreement with each Trustee that converts indemnification rights currently existing under each 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, each Fund may enter into contracts with service providers that contain a variety of indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is dependent on future claims that may be made against each Fund and, therefore, cannot be estimated.
11. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENT
In August 2018, FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820) Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.

12. 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 affecting the entire global economy, individual companies and investment products, the funds, 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 last for an extended period of time. COVID-19 has led to significant uncertainty and volatility in the financial markets.

Wells Fargo Funds Trust:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of Wells Fargo Dynamic Target Today Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2015 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2020 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2025 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2030 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2035 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2040 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2045 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2050 Fund, Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2055 Fund, and Wells Fargo Dynamic Target 2060 Fund (collectively, the Funds), eleven of the funds constituting Wells Fargo Funds Trust, including the portfolios of investments, as of February 28, 2021, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the period from November 30, 2015 (commencement of operations) to February 28, 2021. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of February 28, 2021, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years or periods in the period from November 30, 2015 to February 28, 2021, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds' management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Funds in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of February 28, 2021, by correspondence with the transfer agent and brokers. 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.
We have not been able to determine the specific year that we began serving as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies; however we are aware that we have served as the auditor of one or more Wells Fargo Funds investment companies since at least 1955.
