C000035579 Investment Objective and Strategy

International Value Fund describes its objective and strategy as follows, from its latest prospectus filed with the SEC by Allspring Funds Trust.

Investment objective

The Fund seeks long-term capital appreciation.

Principal investment strategy

"Under normal circumstances, we invest: at least 80% of the Fund's total assets in equity securities of foreign issuers of any market capitalization; and up to 20% of the Fund's total assets in emerging market equity securities. The Fund is a gateway fund that invests substantially all of its assets in the International Value Portfolio, a master portfolio with a substantially identical investment objective and substantially similar investment strategies. We may invest in additional master portfolios, in other Wells Fargo Funds, or directly in a portfolio of securities. We invest principally in the equity securities of foreign issuers of any market capitalization which we believe are undervalued in the marketplace at the time of purchase and show recent positive signals, such as an appreciation in prices and increase in earnings.

We consider equity securities of foreign issuers (or foreign securities) to be equity securities: (1) issued by companies with their principal place of business or principal office, or both, as determined in our reasonable discretion, in a country other than the U.S.; or (2) issued by companies for which the principal securities trading market is a country other than the U.S. We invest in the securities of companies located in at least three countries, not including the U.S. The types of securities in which we normally invest include common stock, preferred stock, rights, warrants and American Depositary Receipts (ADRs). We may use futures or options to manage risk or to enhance return. Factors we consider in determining undervaluation include dividend yield, earnings relative to price, cash flow relative to price and book value relative to market value.

We believe that these securities have the potential to produce future returns if their future growth exceeds the market's low expectations. We use a quantitative investment model to make investment decisions for the Fund. The investment model is designed to take advantage of judgmental biases that influence the decisions of many investors, such as the tendency to develop a ""mindset"" about a company or to wrongly equate a good company with a good investment irrespective of price. The investment model ranks securities based on fundamental measures of value (such as the dividend yield) and indicators of near-term recovery (such as recent price appreciation). This investment strategy seeks to manage overall portfolio risk while attempting to increase the expected return. A stock is typically sold if the model indicates a decline in its ranking or if a stock's relative portfolio weight has appreciated significantly (relative to the benchmark)."
