Executive Vice President
Wells Capital Management
Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Funds

For two decades, Dave Sylvester has managed the Wells Fargo Advantage Money Market Funds. During that time he has maintained a steadfast discipline of rigorous credit analysis and attentive capital preservation that has earned both him and our money market funds a distinguished reputation for risk controlled cash management.

Mr. Sylvester began his career as a fixed income manager at the National Bank of Detroit in 1974. He joined Norwest Corporation as a fixed income portfolio manager and trader in 1979, later becoming manager of the fixed income institutional group. Norwest subsequently merged with Wells Capital Management. Since 1987, Mr. Sylvester has specialized in short-term investments and the management of money market funds.

Mr. Sylvester believes that preserving principal and providing liquidity are the foremost objectives of a money market fund. The pursuit of excess yield is secondary to these primary objectives. Our money market funds, under his leadership, tenaciously adhere to this philosophy in an effort to align with the best interests of our shareholders at all times.
