Important disclosure

For Class A shares, the maximum front-end sales charge is 5.75%. Performance including sales charge assumes the sales charge for the corresponding time period.
Public offering price (POP) is the price of one share of a fund including any sales charges. Net asset value (NAV) is the value of one share of the fund excluding any sales charges. Had sales charges been included, performance would be lower. Returns for periods of less than one year are not annualized.
Source: Lipper, Inc. The Lipper Mixed-Asset Target Allocation Growth Funds Average is an average of funds that, by portfolio practice, maintain a mix of between 60%-80% equity securities, with the remainder invested in bonds, cash, and cash equivalents. The total return of the Lipper Average does not include the effect of sales charges. You cannot invest directly in a Lipper Average.

Class A shares incepted on 10-14-98. Class B and Class C shares incepted on 10-1-98. Performance shown prior to the inception of Class A, Class B, and Class C shares reflects the performance of the Administrator Class shares, adjusted to reflect the Class A, Class B, and Class C sales charges and expenses, as applicable.

Important disclosure

The advisor has committed, through 09-30-13, to waive fees and/or reimburse expenses to the extent necessary to cap the fund's total annual fund operating expenses after fee waiver, excluding certain expenses, at 1.20%. Without this cap, the fund's returns would have been lower.

MORNINGSTAR RATINGS as of 04-30-2013

Category = Moderate Allocation

3-Year out of 805 funds
5-Year out of 706 funds
10-Year out of 415 funds
Overall out of 805 funds

Important disclosure

The Overall Morningstar Rating for a fund is derived from a weighted-average of the performance figures associated with its three-, five- and ten-year (if applicable) ratings, based on risk-adjusted returns.

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), placing more emphasis on downward variations and rewarding consistent performance. The top 10% of funds in each category receive 5 stars, the next 22.5% receive 4 stars, the next 35% receive 3 stars, the next 22.5% receive 2 stars and the bottom 10% receive 1 star. (Each share class is counted as a fraction of one fund within this scale and rated separately, which may cause slight variations in the distribution percentages.) Past performance is no guarantee of future results.

The Fund

The Wells Fargo Advantage Growth Balanced Fund seeks total return by using a multi-manager approach to principally invest in a portfolio of equity and fixed-income securities.

Competitive Advantages

Proprietary asset allocation: The team employs a quantitative asset allocation model—the Tactical Asset Allocation (TAA) Model—that reveals attractive opportunities between stocks and bonds based on relative valuations and price momentum.
Multi-manager expertise: The fund seeks the best available managers and will invest in portfolios managed by both affiliated and unaffiliated subadvisors. Factors considered when selecting a portfolio include how well it complements other portfolios in the fund, the management team's experience, and the strength and consistency of its track record.

Risks

Balanced funds may invest in stocks and bonds. Stock values fluctuate in response to the activities of individual companies and general market and economic conditions. 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. 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, mortgage- and asset-backed securities risk, and smaller-company securities risk. Consult the fund's prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.

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. Performance shown without sales charges would be lower if sales charges were reflected. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted and assumes the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains. Current month-end performance is available at the funds' website, wellsfargo.com/advantagefunds.
