THE FUND  |  The Wells Fargo Advantage Short-Term High Yield Bond Fund seeks current income by investing primarily in a diversified portfolio of non-investment-grade corporate debt securities with an average maturity of three years or less.

• Seeks to generate competitive short-term yields by investing in BB- and B-rated corporate debt securities with an average effective maturity of less than three years.
• Focuses on higher-quality, below-investment-grade corporate debt securities and seeks lower volatility than the funds in the high-yield bond and bank-loan categories.
• Uses a bottom-up security selection process to subject companies to rigorous quantitative and qualitative analysis to assess their ability to fulfill debt obligations and to identify securities that offer the best total-return potential while also meeting the fund's low-volatility criteria.

• Rigorous corporate debt analysis: Security selection is conducted by a team of corporate credit analysts that have extensive experience in the research, trading, and portfolio management of below-investment-grade debt.
• Disciplined risk management: The team uses proprietary risk management tools that are designed to balance alpha generation with appropriate levels of risk-adjusted return and comprehensive risk management.
• Open work environment: The team benefits from an open work environment in which investment management professionals in varying capacities interact continuously throughout the day. This includes partnerships with economists and various taxable fixed-income teams who provide valuable perspectives for measuring several differing sectors of the fixed-income markets.

RISKS  |   Bond 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 values fall and investors may lose principal value. High-yield securities have a greater risk of default and tend to be more volatile than higher-rated debt securities. 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 foreign investment risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
