The Hits Keep Coming

Our Municipal Income Team is no one-hit wonder. In addition to the Wells Fargo Advantage Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund, the team manages the Wells Fargo Advantage Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund and the Wells Fargo Advantage Municipal Bond Fund – two funds that have shown impressive results over time. Investors willing to move out into longer-maturity investments like these two funds may be rewarded with the potential for higher yields.

Investor Class shares are sold without a front-end sales charge or contingent deferred sales charge. The adviser has committed, through 10-31-10, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to maintain the following Funds' net expense ratios at the following levels. The Intermediate Tax/AMT-Free Fund's net expense ratio is 0.75, and its gross expense ratio is 0.96. The Municipal Bond Fund's net expense ratio is 0.80, and its gross expense ratio is 0.94. Without these reductions, the Funds' returns would have been lower and rankings and ratings may have been lower.

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.

A word about risks: Bond fund values fluctuate in response to the financial condition of individual issuers, general market and economic conditions, and changes in interest rates. In general, when interest rates rise, bond fund values fall and investors may lose principal value. The use of derivatives may reduce returns and/or increase volatility. Active trading results in increased turnover and trading expenses and may generate higher short-term capital gains. 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. 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.
