Figures quoted represent past performance, which is no guarantee of future results. 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. Net asset value (NAV) is the value of one share of the fund excluding any sales charges. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.

1 Investor Class shares incepted on January 31, 2007. Performance shown prior to the inception of the Investor Class shares reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, adjusted to reflect Investor Class expenses (except during those periods in which expenses of the Investor Class would have been lower than those of the Administrator Class no such adjustment is reflected). 2 Please note, some of the Morningstar proprietary calculations, including the Morningstar Rating, are not customarily calculated based on adjusted historical returns; however, in some cases, the investment's independent Morningstar Rating metric is compared against the retail mutual fund universe breakpoints to determine its hypothetical rating. The evaluation of this investment does not affect the retail mutual fund data published by Morningstar. For each fund with at least a three-year history, Morningstar calculates a Morningstar Rating based on a Morningstar Risk-Adjusted Return measure that accounts for variation in a fund's monthly performance (including the effects of sales charges, loads, and redemption fees, unless otherwise indicated), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive five stars, the next 22.5% receive four stars, the next 35% receive three stars, the next 22.5% receive two stars, and the bottom 10% receive one star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and is rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results. 3 The Dow Jones Target Date Indexes (each an "Index" or collectively the "Indexes") are a series of indexes designed as benchmarks for multi-asset class portfolios with market risk profiles that become more conservative over time. The Index weightings among the major asset classes are adjusted monthly based on a published set of Index rules. The Indexes with longer time horizons have higher allocations to equity securities, while the Indexes with shorter time horizons replace some of their stock allocations with allocations to fixed income securities and money market instruments. The Index returns reflect hypothetical back-tested performance. You cannot invest directly in an index. 4 Source: Wells Fargo Funds Management, LLC. The Wells Fargo Advantage Dow Jones Target 2040 Composite Benchmark is calculated using the actual holdings of the Wells Fargo Advantage Dow Jones Target 2040 Fund as reported in each Semi-Annual and Annual Report. The U.S. equity allocations are represented by the Russell 3000 Index (measures the performance of the 3,000 largest U.S. companies), the international equity allocations are represented by the MSCI EAFE Index (an unmanaged group of securities generally representative of the stock markets of Europe, Australasia, and the Far East), the fixed income allocations are represented by the Lehman Brothers 3-5 Year U.S. Treasury Index (contains public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with a remaining maturity of three to five years) and the cash allocations are represented by the 91-day T-Bill. After July 1, 2006, the Composite Benchmark consists solely of the Dow Jones Target 2040 Index. You cannot invest directly in an index. 5 The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target 2040 Funds Average is an average of funds that seek to maximize assets for retirement or other purposes with an expected time horizon not to exceed the year 2040. The total return of the Lipper Average does not include the effect of sales charges. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper Average.
