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. 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 by calling 1-888-877-9275.
Index returns do not include transaction costs associated with buying and selling securities, any mutual fund fees or expenses, or any taxes. It is not possible to invest directly in an index.
Shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge.

Reflects the expense ratios as stated in the most recent prospectus. The expense ratios shown are subject to change and may differ from the annualized expense ratios
shown in the Financial Highlights of this report.

Generally, no ordinary fees or expenses are charged to the Fund. Allspring Funds Management, LLC has contractually committed to irrevocably absorb and pay or
reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except portfolio transactions or other investment related costs (e.g., commissions), fees payable for services
provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent (if any), interest, taxes, leverage expenses and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business.
This commitment has an indefinite term.

The Bloomberg Municipal Bond Index is an unmanaged index composed of long-term tax-exempt bonds with a minimum credit rating of Baa. You cannot invest directly in
an index.
Bond values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the Fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest rate changes and their impact on the Fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Certain investment strategies tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). This fund is exposed to high-yield securities risk and municipal securities risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks. A portion of the Fund’s income may be subject to federal, state, and/or local income taxes or the Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT). Any capital gains distributions may be taxable.
CoreBuilder Shares are a series of investment options within the separately managed accounts advised or subadvised by Allspring Funds Management, LLC. The shares are fee-waived mutual funds that enable certain separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification than smaller managed accounts might otherwise achieve.
Please remember that shares of the Fund may be purchased only by or on behalf of separately managed account clients where Allspring Funds Management, LLC has an agreement to serve as investment adviser or subadviser to the account with the separately managed account sponsor (typically a registered investment adviser or broker/dealer) or directly with the client.

Credit quality as of June 30, 20231

The credit quality distribution of portfolio holdings reflected in the chart is
based on ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s Investors Service,
and/or Fitch Ratings Ltd. Credit quality ratings apply to the underlying
holdings of the Fund and not to the Fund itself. The percentages of the
portfolio with the ratings depicted in the chart are calculated based on the
market value of fixed income securities held by the Fund. If a security was
rated by all three rating agencies, the middle rating was utilized. If rated by
two of the three rating agencies, the lower rating was utilized, and if rated
by one of the rating agencies, that rating was utilized. Standard & Poor’s
rates the creditworthiness of bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D
(lowest). Ratings from A to CCC may be modified by the addition of a plus
(+) or minus (-) sign to show relative standing within the rating categories.
Standard & Poor’s rates the creditworthiness of short-term notes from
SP-1 (highest) to SP-3 (lowest). Moody’s rates the creditworthiness of
bonds, ranging from Aaa (highest) to C (lowest). Ratings Aa to B may be
modified by the addition of a number 1 (highest) to 3 (lowest) to show
relative standing within the ratings categories. Moody’s rates the
creditworthiness of short-term U.S. tax-exempt municipal securities from
MIG 1/VMIG 1 (highest) to SG (lowest). Fitch rates the creditworthiness of
bonds, ranging from AAA (highest) to D (lowest). Credit quality distribution
is subject to change and may have changed since the date specified.

Fund expenses (unaudited)
Fund expenses
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur ongoing costs 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 January 1, 2023 to June 30, 2023.
Actual expenses
The “Actual” line of the table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000= 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the “Actual” line under the heading entitled “Expenses paid during period” for your applicable class of shares to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical example for comparison purposes
The “Hypothetical” line of the table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only. Therefore, the “Hypothetical” line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds.

reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except portfolio transactions or other investment related costs (e.g., commissions), fees payable for services

Notes to financial statements
1.
ORGANIZATION
Allspring Funds Trust (the “Trust”), a Delaware statutory trust organized on March 10, 1999, is an open-end management investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”). As an investment company, the Trust follows the accounting and reporting guidance in Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946, Financial ServicesInvestment Companies. These financial statements report on the Allspring Managed Account CoreBuilder Shares - Series M (the “Fund”) which is a diversified series of the Trust.
The Fund is a special purpose municipal bond fund that is used in combination with selected individual securities to effectively model institutional-level investment strategies. The Fund is intended to help enable certain separately managed account investors to achieve greater diversification than small managed accounts might otherwise achieve.
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 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 Fund may deviate from this calculation time under unusual or unexpected circumstances.
Debt securities are valued at the evaluated bid price provided by an independent pricing service (e.g. taking into account various factors, including yields, maturities, or credit ratings) or, if a reliable price is not available, the quoted bid price from an independent broker-dealer.
Investments in registered open-end investment companies (other than those listed on a foreign or domestic exchange or market) are valued at net asset value.
Investments which are not valued using any of the methods discussed above are valued at their fair value, as determined in good faith by Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”), which was named the valuation designee by the Board of Trustees. As the valuation designee, Allspring Funds Management is responsible for day-to-day valuation activities for the Allspring Funds. In connection with these responsibilities, Allspring Funds Management has established a Valuation Committee 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. On a quarterly basis, the Board of Trustees receives reports of valuation actions taken by the Valuation Committee. On at least an annual basis, the Board of Trustees receives an assessment of the adequacy and effectiveness of Allspring Funds Managements process for determining the fair value of the portfolio of investments.
When-issued transactions
The Fund may purchase securities on a forward commitment or when-issued basis. The Fund records a when-issued transaction on the trade date and will segregate assets in an amount at least equal in value to the Funds commitment to purchase when-issued securities. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis are marked-to-market daily and the Fund begins earning interest on the settlement date. Losses may arise due to changes in the market value of the underlying securities or if the counterparty does not perform under the contract.
Security transactions and income recognition
Securities transactions are recorded on a trade date basis. Realized gains or losses are recorded on the basis of identified cost.
Interest income is accrued daily and bond discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized daily. 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 are declared daily and paid monthly. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, 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 Funds fiscal year end. Therefore, a portion of the Funds 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 and tax-exempt 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.
Allspring Managed Account  | 33


Notes to financial statements (unaudited)
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 Funds  tax positions taken on federal, state, and foreign tax returns, as applicable, 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 June 30, 2023, the aggregate cost of all investments for federal income tax purposes was $761,203,944 and the unrealized gains (losses) consisted of:
Gross unrealized gains
$3,784,946
Gross unrealized losses
(34,241,129
)
Net unrealized losses
$(30,456,183
)
As of December 31, 2022, the Fund had capital loss carryforwards which consist of $12,231,286 in short-term capital losses and $9,786,674 in long-term capital losses.
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.
The following is a summary of the inputs used in valuing the Fund’s assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2023:

TRANSACTIONS WITH AFFILIATES
The Trust has entered into an investment management contract with Allspring Funds Management, a wholly owned subsidiary of Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC, a holding company indirectly owned by certain private funds of GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. The manager is responsible for implementing investment policies and guidelines and for supervising the subadviser, who is responsible for day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. For providing these services, Allspring Funds Management does not receive a fee from the Fund but is entitled to receive fees from separately managed account sponsors of the wrap-fee programs. Out of these fees, Allspring Funds Management pays Allspring Global Investments, LLC, an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management and a wholly owned subsidiary of Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC, for its services as the subadviser to the Fund.
Generally, no ordinary operating fees or expenses are charged to the Fund. Allspring Funds Management has contractually committed to irrevocably absorb and pay or reimburse all ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, except portfolio transactions or other investment-related costs (e.g., commissions), fees payable for services provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent (if any), interest, taxes, leverage expenses, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. This commitment has an indefinite term.

Interfund transactions
The Fund may purchase or sell portfolio investment securities to certain affiliates pursuant to Rule 17a-7 under the 1940 Act and under procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees. The procedures have been designed to ensure that these interfund transactions, which do not incur broker commissions, are effected at current market prices. Pursuant to these procedures, the Fund had $25,730,000, $20,000,000 and $0 in interfund purchases, sales and net realized gains (losses), respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2023. 
5.
INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
Purchases and sales of investments, excluding U.S. government obligations (if any) and short-term securities, for the six months ended June 30, 2023 were $121,719,423 and $20,879,765, respectively.
6.
BANK BORROWINGS
The Trust (excluding the money market funds), Allspring Master Trust and Allspring Variable Trust are parties to a $350,000,000 revolving credit agreement whereby the Fund is permitted to use bank borrowings for temporary or emergency purposes, such as to fund shareholder redemption requests. Interest under the credit agreement is charged to the Fund based on borrowing rate equal to the higher of the Federal Funds rate or the overnight bank funding rate in effect on that day plus a spread. In addition, an annual commitment fee based on the unused balance is allocated to each participating fund.
For the six months ended June 30, 2023, there were no borrowings by the Fund under the agreement. 
7.
CONCENTRATION RISK
Concentration risk exists when a shareholder owns a large amount of shares of the Fund. A fund with a concentration of ownership may be more affected by the investment activity of those shareholders than would be a fund that does not have any ownership concentration. As of June 30, 2023, two unaffiliated shareholders owned in aggregate 53% of the Fund.
8.
INDEMNIFICATION
Under the Funds 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.

Board consideration of investment management and sub-advisory agreements:
Under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) of Allspring Funds Trust (the “Trust”) must determine annually whether to approve the continuation of the Trust’s investment management and sub-advisory agreements. In this regard, at a Board meeting held on May 15-17, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board, all the members of which have no direct or indirect interest in the investment management and sub-advisory agreements and are not “interested persons” of the Trust, as defined in the 1940 Act (the “Independent Trustees”), reviewed and approved for the Allspring Managed Account CoreBuilder® Shares – Series M (the “Fund”): (i) an investment management agreement (the “Management Agreement”) with Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”); and (ii) an investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) with Allspring Global Investments, LLC (the “Sub-Adviser”), an affiliate of Allspring Funds Management. The Management Agreement and the Sub-Advisory Agreement are collectively referred to as the “Advisory Agreements.”
At the Meeting, the Board considered the factors and reached the conclusions described below relating to the selection of Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser and the approval of the Advisory Agreements. Prior to the Meeting, including at a Board meeting held in April 2023, and at the Meeting, the Trustees conferred extensively among themselves and with representatives of Allspring Funds Management about these matters. The Board has adopted a team-based approach, with each team consisting of a sub-set of Trustees, to assist the full Board in the discharge of its duties in reviewing investment performance and other matters throughout the year. The Independent Trustees were assisted in their evaluation of the Advisory Agreements by independent legal counsel, from whom they received separate legal advice and with whom they met separately.
The Board noted that it initially approved the Advisory Agreements at a Board meeting held in May 2021, each for a two-year term, in advance of the sale of Wells Fargo Asset Management to Allspring Global Investments Holdings, LLC,1 a holding company indirectly owned by certain private funds of GTCR LLC and Reverence Capital Partners, L.P. (the “Transaction”). The Trustees considered that, while they did not specifically consider the continuation of the Advisory Agreements in 2022 as a result of the two-year term that was approved in 2021, the Trustees received and considered certain information at a Board meeting held in April 2022 that was applicable to the Advisory Agreements, including an overview and financial review of the Allspring Global Investments business, information regarding certain ancillary agreements that were approved by the Board at the April 2022 Board meeting, and comparative data regarding Fund fees and expenses.
In providing information to the Board, Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser were guided by a detailed set of requests for information submitted to them by independent legal counsel on behalf of the Independent Trustees at the start of the Board’s annual contract renewal process earlier in 2023. In considering and approving the Advisory Agreements, the Trustees considered the information they believed relevant, including but not limited to the information discussed below. The Board considered not only the specific information presented in connection with the Meeting, but also the knowledge gained over time through interactions with Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser about various topics. In this regard, the Board reviewed reports of Allspring Funds Management at each of its quarterly meetings, which included, among other things, portfolio reviews and investment performance reports. In addition, the Board and the teams mentioned above confer with portfolio managers at various times throughout the year. The Board did not identify any particular information or consideration that was all-important or controlling, and each individual Trustee may have attributed different weights to various factors.
After its deliberations, the Board unanimously determined that the absence of compensation payable to Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable, and approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term. The Board considered the approval of the Advisory Agreements for the Fund as part of its consideration of agreements for funds across the complex, but its approvals were made on a fund-by-fund basis. The following summarizes a number of important, but not necessarily all, factors considered by the Board in support of its approvals.
Nature, extent, and quality of services
The Board received and considered various information regarding the nature, extent, and quality of services provided to the Fund by Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser under the Advisory Agreements. This information included a description of the investment advisory services and Fund-level administrative services covered by the Management Agreement, as well as, among other things, a summary of the background and experience of senior management of Allspring Global Investments, of which Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser are a part, and a summary of investments made in the Allspring Global Investments business. The Board also considered information about retention arrangements with respect to key personnel of Allspring Global Investments that were put in place in connection with the Transaction. The Board took into account information about the services that continue to be provided by Wells Fargo & Co. and/or its affiliates (“Wells Fargo”) since the Transaction under a transition services agreement and the anticipated timeline for exiting the transition services agreement. In addition, the Board received and considered information about the full range of services provided to the Fund by Allspring Funds Management and its affiliates.

The Board considered the qualifications, background, tenure, and responsibilities of each of the portfolio managers primarily responsible for the day-to-day portfolio management of the Fund. The Board evaluated the ability of Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser to attract and retain qualified investment professionals, including research, advisory, and supervisory personnel.
The Board further considered the compliance programs and compliance records of Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser. The Board received and considered information about Allspring Global Investments’ risk management functions, which included information about Allspring Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business continuity plans, their approaches to data privacy and cybersecurity, and Allspring Funds Management’s role as administrator of the Fund’s liquidity risk management program. The Board also received and considered information about Allspring Funds Management’s intermediary and vendor oversight program.
Fund investment performance and expenses
The Board received and considered information regarding the “zero fee and expense” structure of the Fund. Specifically, the Board noted that the Fund’s gross operating expense ratio and each of its various components, including management fees, administration fees, custody fees, Rule 12b-1 fees, and other fees, were zero. The Board also noted Allspring Funds Management’s representations that the Fund is a special purpose mutual fund for use exclusively within Allspring Funds Management’s separately managed account (“SMA”) advisory business and, as such, Allspring Funds Management would assume and pay or reimburse the Fund under an Expense Assumption Agreement all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund, excluding portfolio transaction or other investment related costs, fees payable for services provided by the Fund’s securities lending agent, interest, taxes, leverage expenses, and other expenses not incurred in the ordinary course of the Fund’s business. The Board further noted that Allspring Funds Management is paid a negotiated fee by each SMA sponsor, and that the fee level is identical for all sponsors of SMAs that invest in the Fund.
In light of this unique fee and distribution structure and special purpose of the Fund, the Board does not conduct an investment performance and fee review relative to a peer group or universe. The Board took into account the fee and distribution structure and special purpose of the Fund in deciding to re-approve the Advisory Agreements for the Fund.
Investment management and sub-advisory fee rates
The Board reviewed and considered that the contractual investment management fee rate payable by the Fund to Allspring Funds Management for investment advisory services and fund administration services (the “Management Agreement Rate”) was zero, and also reviewed and considered that the Fund’s other expenses would normally be zero, because of Allspring Funds Management’s commitment to assume and pay or reimburse all of the ordinary operating expenses of the Fund under an Expense Assumption Agreement, an amended version of which the Board was being asked to consider and approve at the Meeting. The Board also considered that the fee rate payable by Allspring Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser for investment sub-advisory services was also zero, and that any sub-advisory fees would be paid from the fees Allspring Funds Management receives from SMA sponsors and not by the Fund.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board determined that the absence of any compensation payable by the Fund to Allspring Funds Management pursuant to the Management Agreement and by Allspring Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser, in each case, was reasonable.
Profitability
The Board received and considered information concerning the profitability of Allspring Funds Management, as well as the profitability of Allspring Global Investments, from providing services to the fund complex as a whole. The Board noted that the Sub-Adviser’s profitability information with respect to providing services to the Fund and other funds in the complex was subsumed in the Allspring Global Investments profitability analysis.
Allspring Funds Management reported on the methodologies and estimates used in calculating profitability, including a description of the methodology used to allocate certain expenses and differences in how Allspring Global Investments calculates its pre-tax profit metric versus the methodology used when Allspring Funds Management was part of Wells Fargo. It was noted that the impact of such differences had only minor impact on the financial results presented. Among other things, the Board noted that the levels of profitability reported on a fund-by-fund basis varied widely, depending on factors such as the size, type, and age of fund.
The Board acknowledged that Allspring Funds Management does not earn any fee revenue directly from the Fund, given its zero fee structure. Based on its review, the Board did not deem the profits reported by Allspring Funds Management or Allspring Global Investments from services provided to the Fund to be at a level that would prevent it from approving the continuation of the Advisory Agreements.
Economies of scale
In light of the unique fee structure and special purpose of the Fund, the Board did not conduct an analysis of economies of scale in the context of reviewing the Fund’s Advisory Agreements.

Other benefits to Allspring Funds Management and the Sub-Adviser
The Board received and considered information regarding potential “fall-out” or ancillary benefits received by Allspring Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, as a result of their relationships with the Fund. Ancillary benefits could include, among others, benefits directly attributable to other relationships with the Fund and benefits potentially derived from an increase in Allspring Funds Management’s and the Sub-Adviser’s business as a result of their relationships with the Fund.
The Board received and considered information about payments that Allspring Funds Management would receive from the SMA sponsors. The Board also reviewed information about whether and to what extent soft dollar credits are sought and how any such credits are utilized.
Based on its consideration of the factors and information it deemed relevant, including those described here, the Board did not find that any ancillary benefits received by Allspring Funds Management and its affiliates, including the Sub-Adviser, were unreasonable.
Conclusion
At the Meeting, after considering the above-described factors and based on its deliberations and its evaluation of the information described above, the Board unanimously determined that the absence of any compensation payable by the Fund to Allspring Funds Management and by Allspring Funds Management to the Sub-Adviser under each of the Advisory Agreements was reasonable, and approved the continuation of the Advisory Agreements for a one-year term.

Liquidity risk management program
In accordance with Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”), Allspring Funds Trust (the “Trust”) has adopted and implemented a liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) on behalf of each of its series (other than the series that operate as money market funds), including the Fund, which is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk. “Liquidity risk” is defined under the Liquidity Rule as the risk that the Fund is unable to meet redemption requests without significantly diluting remaining investors’ interests in the Fund. The Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) previously approved the designation of Allspring Funds Management, LLC (“Allspring Funds Management”), the Fund’s investment manager, to administer the Program, and Allspring Funds Management has established a Liquidity Risk Management Council (the “Council”) composed of personnel from multiple departments within Allspring Funds Management and its affiliates to assist Allspring Funds Management in the administration of the Program.
The Program is comprised of various components designed to support the assessment and/or management of liquidity risk, including: (1) the periodic assessment (no less frequently than annually) of certain factors that influence the Fund’s liquidity risk; (2) the periodic classification (no less frequently than monthly) of the Fund’s investments into one of four liquidity categories that reflect an estimate of their liquidity under current market conditions; (3) a 15% limit on the acquisition of “illiquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule); (4) to the extent the Fund does not invest primarily in “highly liquid investments” (as defined under the Liquidity Rule), the determination of a minimum percentage of the Fund’s assets that generally will be invested in highly liquid investments (an “HLIM”); (5) if the Fund has established an HLIM, the periodic review (no less frequently than annually) of the HLIM and the adoption of policies and procedures for responding to a shortfall of the Fund’s “highly liquid investments” below its HLIM; and (6) periodic reporting to the Board.
At a meeting of the Board held on May 16-17, 2023, the Board received and reviewed a written report (the “Report”) from Allspring Funds Management that, among other things, addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness for the period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022 (the “Reporting Period”). The Report noted significant liquidity events impacting the Funds related to extended foreign market holidays as well as the difficulty of trading and settlement of most Russia-related securities due to sanctions activity. The Report noted that there were no material changes to the Program during the Reporting Period.
Allspring Funds Management determined in the Report that the Program has been implemented and operates effectively to manage the Fund’s, including the Fund’s, liquidity risk, and Allspring Funds Management continues to believe that the Program has been and continues to be adequately and effectively implemented to monitor and, as applicable, respond to the Fund’s liquidity developments.
There can be no assurance that the Program will achieve its objectives under all circumstances in the future. Please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information regarding the Fund’s exposure to liquidity risk and other risks to which an investment in the Fund may be subject.
