1 All information is as of unless otherwise indicated. Overview General fund information Fund sponsor and manager: Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. Fund advisor: Wells Capital Management Inc. Portfolio manager: Kandarp Acharya, CFA, FRM; Christian Chan, CFA; and Petros Bocray, CFA, FRM Category: Target date Fund strategy Seeks total return consistent with its strategic target asset allocation Reduces market risk gradually by reallocating assets toward increasingly conservative asset classes Is designed for investors who expect to retire or begin to withdraw funds around its target date Reaches its lowest strategic allocation to equities 10 years past the fund's target year Each fund is a gateway fund that invests in underlying funds: Each underlying equity fund provides exposure to a specific market segment, including U.S. large and small caps, international developed and emerging markets, and real estate investment trusts (REITs). Except for REITs, each is designed with the goal of replicating the performance of proprietary indexes designed to provide balanced exposure to specific risk factors, including value, quality, momentum, small size, and low volatility. The underlying fixed-income funds provide exposure to a range of market sectors, including U.S. government bonds, mortgage- and asset-backed securities, Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities (TIPS), investment-grade and high-yield corporate bonds, and emerging markets foreign issues. The corporate bond funds are managed with the goal of replicating the performance of proprietary indexes designed to enhance issuer diversification and liquidity compared with standard indexes. The remaining funds are managed to replicate the performance of standard indexes. Market and portfolio summary In late October, several enhancements were made to the strategy. Enhancements included lower net expenses, a new management team, a revised glide path, and changes to subasset-class exposures. These enhancements were driven largely by changes in market conditions, life expectancies, and plan participant trends in recent years. As a result, all underlying investments now use factor-based indexing and have exposure to high-yield bonds and emerging-market debt. The exposure to developed international bonds was eliminated. For those near or in retirement, equity exposure was increased and exposure to TIPS and REITs was added for enhanced diversification. Global stock prices continued to rise during the fourth quarter, with the strongest gains in emerging markets (in U.S. dollar terms). Prices were supported by solid corporate earnings, sustainable global growth, moderate inflation, and supportive central-bank policies. In the U.S., results were positive across sectors, with the strongest gains in the consumer discretionary sector. Growth and value stocks had similar results, and large-cap stocks outperformed small-cap stocks. In fixed income, the U.S. yield curve flattened and returns were marginally positive. Short- and intermediateterm bond yields rose as the Federal Reserve raised its key short-term interest rate in December, but longterm yields fell marginally due to muted inflation expectations. Credit spreads remained strong, with little change during the quarter. During the quarter, the Wells Fargo Target Date CITs benefited from diverse exposure to stock and bond markets, with positive results in all underlying portfolios and across all 12 target-date vintages. The strongest gains came from stock holdings, and longer-dated funds benefited most. Fixed-income holdings had muted gains, driven by coupon income, as prices were flat. Looking ahead, market conditions remain supportive for most asset classes. Global manufacturing indexes show healthy growth, and corporate profitability remains robust. Inflation remains low but steady, and credit conditions are stable. Investor sentiment remains optimistic but not euphoric.

6 Risks: 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. Changes in market conditions and government policies may lead to periods of heightened volatility in the bond market and reduced liquidity for certain bonds held by the fund. In general, when interest rates rise, bond values fall and investors may lose principal value. Interest-rate changes and their impact on the fund and its share price can be sudden and unpredictable. 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). These CITs are exposed to foreign investment risk, mortgage- and assetbacked securities risk, smaller-company investment risk, and allocation methodology risk (risk that the allocation methodology of the Target Date Composite Index, whose total returns the CIT seeks to approximate, before fees and expenses, will not meet an investor s goals). Consult the CIT s disclosure document for additional information on these and other risks. The S&P Target Date Style Index Series is designed to help defined contribution plan sponsors screen, select, and monitor target date funds by providing separate performance comparisons for to versus through glide paths. Glide path refers to the tendency of a target date fund s asset allocation to become more conservative as the fund s target date approaches. The S&P Target Date Style Index Series comprises a set of multi-asset class indices, each corresponding to a different target retirement date. Based on the S&P Target Date Index methodology, the asset allocation for the S&P Target Date Style Indices reflects consensus position derived from an annual survey of target date funds holdings. The target date represents the year in which investors may likely begin withdrawing assets. The funds gradually seek to reduce market risk as the target date approaches and after it arrives by decreasing equity exposure and increasing fixed-income exposure. The principal value is not guaranteed at any time, including at the target date. At the close of business on April 17, 2015, the Wells Fargo Dow Jones Target Date collective fund series was renamed the Wells Fargo Target Date CIT series and modified its investment strategy. The renamed target date collective investment fund series follows a similar strategic glide path with a new investment advisor but no longer seeks to replicate the performance of the former Dow Jones Target Date Indexes used by the funds. The underlying equity sleeve was modified to consist of securities within specified Russell and MSCI indexes, while the fixedincome and cash components remain the same. The inception date of E3 unit classes was at the close of business on April 17, Performance prior to the inception date reflects the results of the Wells Fargo Dow Jones Target Date collective fund series N units as it operated through April 17, 2015, and is not adjusted for expenses applicable to the new unit classes. Each of the new unit classes has a total expense ratio lower than the historical funds 0.30%. All values are unaudited. All income is reinvested in the fund and reflected in the unit value. Fund returns are reported after trustee and advisory fees and other expenses, including, but not limited to, audit and fund accounting expenses, are charged to the fund. Diversification and asset allocation do not ensure or guarantee better performance and cannot eliminate the risk of investment losses. These funds are Wells Fargo Bank sponsored Collective Investment Trusts subject to primary regulations of the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency. The funds are not mutual funds and are not subject to the same registration requirements and restrictions as mutual funds. The funds are NOT FDIC insured; are NOT obligations or deposits of Wells Fargo Bank; are NOT guaranteed by the bank; and involve investment risk, including the possible loss of principal.
