THE FUND  |  The Wells Fargo Advantage Emerging Markets Equity Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation through equity securities of companies tied economically to emerging markets countries.

• Maintains a core equity style that emphasizes bottom-up stock selection based on rigorous, in-depth, fundamental company research that is buttressed by an intrinsic valuation discipline that seeks to buy quality at compelling prices.
• Keeps a disciplined focus on high-quality companies that should be positioned to offer both potential downside protection and the ability to sustain high profitability. The team seeks to buy companies that have clear competitive advantages; solid, understandable financials; management teams with track records of being shareholder-friendly; and transparent and predictable growth prospects.
• Conducts intrinsic valuation analysis that is focused primarily on cash-flow-based analysis, with supplementary balance sheet scrutiny.

• Investment in high-quality companies: The team's emphasis on quality seeks to protect investors' capital in down markets, and, in general, has led to higher absolute and risk-adjusted returns. High-quality companies are frequently market leaders that act from a position of strength, making them less sensitive to changes in macroeconomic conditions. High-quality companies are frequently more successful at creating shareholder value from the profitable deployment of investment capital.
• Evaluation of risk: A risk management overlay is critical to a high-quality focus. By investing in companies where quality and value intersect, the process is designed to identify more attractive risk-adjusted returns versus the fund's peers.

RISKS  |   Stock fund values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. Foreign investments are especially volatile and can rise or fall dramatically due to differences in the political and economic conditions of the host country. These risks are generally intensified in emerging markets. 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 regional risk and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
