About the Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolios
The Wells Fargo Advantage WealthBuilder Portfolios were first introduced in 1997 and are part of our
long history of pioneering asset allocation strategies. The WealthBuilder Portfolios in the series use a
fund-of-funds approach composed of both proprietary and nonproprietary mutual funds and offer
investors a range of portfolios to match their risk profile. The portfolio managers apply the disciplines of
Tactical Asset Allocation and Tactical Equity Allocation modeling to help manage risk and to capitalize
on rotating market cycles.
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. Investment strategies that emphasize particular market segments or fewer securities tend to increase the total risk of an investment (relative to the broader market). The WealthBuilder Portfolios are exposed to one or more of the following risks: alternative investment risk, foreign investment risk, high-yield securities risk, mortgage- and asset backed securities risk, and small company investment risk. Consult the Fund’s prospectus for additional information on these and other risks.
Asset allocation and diversification do not assure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses.
