Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return over time, consistent with its strategic target asset allocation.

Fees and Expenses

These tables are intended to help you understand the various costs and expenses you will pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund.

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that fees and expenses

1

remain the same as in the tables above. To the extent that the Manager is waiving fees or reimbursing expenses, the example assumes that such waiver or reimbursement will only be in place through the date noted above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 105% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is a fund of funds that invests in various master portfolios ("Underlying Funds"), which in turn, invest in a combination of securities to gain exposure to the following asset classes: equity and fixed income (including money market securities). The Fund's investment strategy is to diversify the Fund's investments among these asset classes.

The equity Underlying Funds are each intended to provide exposure to a specific market segment. Those segments include U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, international (non-U.S.) developed and emerging markets, and real estate. A portion of the equity exposure is dedicated to low volatility equities. The U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, international developed markets, emerging markets and low volatility allocations each seek to add value above their respective broad market index, by employing a systematic, rules based methodology designed to build a portfolio of stocks that provides exposure to factors (or characteristics) commonly tied to a stock's potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns relative to the market. Those factors include, but are not limited to, value, quality, momentum, size, and low volatility. The real estate allocation invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and is managed to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT index, a float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index designed to serve as a proxy for direct real estate investment.

The fixed income Underlying Funds provide diversified exposure across a wide range of market sectors, including U.S. Government obligations (including Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS), investment grade corporate bonds, below investment grade bonds (commonly known as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds"), other U.S. bond sectors (including mortgage- and asset-backed securities), and emerging markets foreign issues. The inflation-protected Treasury and intermediate-term government allocations will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Linked 1-10 Year Bond Index and the Bloomberg U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index, respectively, each a traditional market-capitalization weighted index designed to provide diversified exposure to their respective allocation. The investment grade corporate bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index. The below investment grade bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. The U.S. aggregate bond ex-corporate allocation, which includes mortgage- and asset-backed securities, will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate ex- Corporate Index, a traditional market-capitalization weighted index designed to provide diversified exposure to the allocation. The emerging markets bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, an index that deviates from a traditional market capitalization weighting to provide more robust diversification across its constituent countries.

The "Today" designation in the Fund's name is meant to indicate that the Fund is primarily designed for investors either in retirement and/or currently gradually withdrawing funds from their investments. The Fund does not decrease its equity holdings in an attempt to become increasingly conservative over time, but rather maintains a strategic target allocation to equity and fixed income securities (including money market instruments) in the weights of 30% and 70%, respectively.

At their discretion, the Fund's portfolio managers may make changes to the Fund's glide path and asset allocation consistent with the Fund's target year. Factors that the portfolio managers may consider include but are not limited to market trends, their outlook for a given market capitalization, and the Underlying Funds' performance in various market conditions.

Portfolio Asset Allocation

The following table provides the Fund's target allocations to various underlying portfolios as of July 1, 2022.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund may lose money, is not a deposit of a bank or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below.

Market Risk. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments.

Target Date Fund Risk. A Target Date Fund cannot provide assurance that an investor's investment in the Fund will provide income at, and through the years following, the target year in the Fund's name in amounts adequate to meet the investor's financial goals. In addition, the Fund is subject to the risk that its strategy will not eliminate investment volatility that could reduce the amount of funds available for an investor who begins to withdraw funds or expects to retire close to or in the Fund's target year.

Debt Securities Risk. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a debt security may be unable, or perceived to be unable, to pay interest or repay principal when they become due. In these instances, the value of an investment could decline and the Fund could lose money. Credit risk increases as an issuer's credit quality or financial strength declines. Interest rate risk is the possibility that interest rates will change over time. When interest rates rise, the value of debt securities tends to fall. The longer the terms of the debt securities held by a Fund, the more the Fund is subject to this risk. If interest rates decline, interest that the Fund is able to earn on its investments in debt securities may also decline, which could cause the Fund to reduce the dividends it pays to shareholders, but the value of those securities may increase. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk.

Equity Securities Risk. The values of equity securities may experience periods of substantial price volatility and may decline significantly over short time periods. In general, the values of equity securities are more volatile than those of debt securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value and price in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security, such as management performance, financial condition, and market demand for the issuer's products or services, as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition of the issuer, including general market, economic and political conditions. Different parts of a market, industry and sector may react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political, and economic developments.

Underlying Funds Risk. The risks associated with a Fund include the risks related to each Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests.

Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market securities typically present even greater exposure to the risks described under "Foreign Investment Risk" and may be particularly sensitive to global economic conditions. Emerging market securities are also typically less liquid than securities of developed countries and could be difficult to sell, particularly during a market downturn.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility and risks related

3

to adverse political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign investments may involve exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be subject to higher withholding and other taxes.

High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") have a much greater risk of default or of not returning principal and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities.

Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk. The principal value of an inflation-indexed debt security is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation and, as a result, the value of a Fund's yield and return will be affected by changes in the rate of inflation.

Management Risk. Investment decisions, techniques, analyses or models implemented by a Fund's manager or sub-adviser in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective may not produce expected returns, may cause the Fund's shares to lose value or may cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value and become less liquid when defaults on the underlying mortgages or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of rising interest rates. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of these securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates than instruments with fixed payment schedules. When interest rates decline or are low, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities can reduce a Fund's returns.

Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities are subject to risks from decreases in the values of underlying real estate assets and the income derived from such assets, changes in interest rates, issuer management, macroeconomic developments, government regulation and social and economic trends. The value of certain real estate securities may also be affected by local and regional market conditions.

Smaller Company Securities Risk. Securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Performance

The following information provides some indication of the risks of investing in the Fund by showing changes in the Fund's performance from year to year. The Fund's average annual total returns are compared to the performance of one or more indices. Past performance before and after taxes is no guarantee of future results. Current month-end performance is available on the Fund's website at allspringglobal.com.

After-tax returns are calculated using the historical highest individual federal marginal income tax rates and do not reflect the impact of state, local or foreign taxes. Actual after-tax returns depend on an investor's tax situation and may differ from those shown, and after-tax returns shown are not relevant to tax-exempt investors or investors who hold their Fund shares through tax-deferred arrangements, such as 401(k) Plans or Individual Retirement Accounts.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility and risks related

3

to adverse political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign investments may involve exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be subject to higher withholding and other taxes.

High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") have a much greater risk of default or of not returning principal and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities.

Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk. The principal value of an inflation-indexed debt security is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation and, as a result, the value of a Fund's yield and return will be affected by changes in the rate of inflation.

Management Risk. Investment decisions, techniques, analyses or models implemented by a Fund's manager or sub-adviser in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective may not produce expected returns, may cause the Fund's shares to lose value or may cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value and become less liquid when defaults on the underlying mortgages or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of rising interest rates. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of these securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates than instruments with fixed payment schedules. When interest rates decline or are low, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities can reduce a Fund's returns.

Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities are subject to risks from decreases in the values of underlying real estate assets and the income derived from such assets, changes in interest rates, issuer management, macroeconomic developments, government regulation and social and economic trends. The value of certain real estate securities may also be affected by local and regional market conditions.

Smaller Company Securities Risk. Securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.

Allspring Target Today Fund

At a meeting held on May 24-25, 2022, the Board of Trustees of Allspring Funds Trust (the "Trust") unanimously approved the merger of each Fund into another Fund of the Trust (the "Acquiring Fund") (the "Mergers"). The Mergers were proposed by Allspring Funds Management, LLC investment manager to the Funds.

Before you invest, you may want to review the Fund's prospectus, which contains more information about the Fund and its risks. You can find the Fund's prospectus, reports to shareholders and other information about the Fund online at allspringglobal.com/reports. You can also get information at no cost by calling 1-800-222-8222, or by sending an email request to [email protected]. The current prospectus ("Prospectus") and statement of additional information ("SAI"), dated July 1, 2022, as supplemented from time to time, are incorporated by reference into this summary prospectus. The Fund's SAI may be obtained, free of charge, in the same manner as the Prospectus.

Investment Objective

The Fund seeks total return over time, consistent with its strategic target asset allocation.

Fees and Expenses

These tables are intended to help you understand the various costs and expenses you will pay if you buy, hold and sell shares of the Fund.

Example of Expenses

The example below is intended to help you compare the costs of investing in the Fund with the costs of investing in other funds. The example assumes a $10,000 initial investment, 5% annual total return, and that fees and expenses

1

remain the same as in the tables above. To the extent that the Manager is waiving fees or reimbursing expenses, the example assumes that such waiver or reimbursement will only be in place through the date noted above. Although your actual costs may be higher or lower, based on these assumptions, your costs would be:

Portfolio Turnover

The Fund pays transaction costs, such as commissions, when it buys and sells securities (or "turns over" its portfolio). A higher portfolio turnover rate may indicate higher transaction costs and may result in higher taxes when Fund shares are held in a taxable account. These costs, which are not reflected in annual fund operating expenses or in the example, affect the Fund's performance. During the most recent fiscal year, the Fund's portfolio turnover rate was 105% of the average value of its portfolio.

Principal Investment Strategies

The Fund is a fund of funds that invests in various master portfolios ("Underlying Funds"), which in turn, invest in a combination of securities to gain exposure to the following asset classes: equity and fixed income (including money market securities). The Fund's investment strategy is to diversify the Fund's investments among these asset classes.

The equity Underlying Funds are each intended to provide exposure to a specific market segment. Those segments include U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, international (non-U.S.) developed and emerging markets, and real estate. A portion of the equity exposure is dedicated to low volatility equities. The U.S. large- and small-capitalization companies, international developed markets, emerging markets and low volatility allocations each seek to add value above their respective broad market index, by employing a systematic, rules based methodology designed to build a portfolio of stocks that provides exposure to factors (or characteristics) commonly tied to a stock's potential for enhanced risk-adjusted returns relative to the market. Those factors include, but are not limited to, value, quality, momentum, size, and low volatility. The real estate allocation invests in real estate investment trusts (REITs) and is managed to replicate the performance of the Dow Jones U.S. Select REIT index, a float-adjusted market-capitalization weighted index designed to serve as a proxy for direct real estate investment.

The fixed income Underlying Funds provide diversified exposure across a wide range of market sectors, including U.S. Government obligations (including Treasury inflation-protected securities, or TIPS), investment grade corporate bonds, below investment grade bonds (commonly known as "high yield bonds" or "junk bonds"), other U.S. bond sectors (including mortgage- and asset-backed securities), and emerging markets foreign issues. The inflation-protected Treasury and intermediate-term government allocations will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Treasury Inflation-Linked 1-10 Year Bond Index and the Bloomberg U.S. Government Intermediate Bond Index, respectively, each a traditional market-capitalization weighted index designed to provide diversified exposure to their respective allocation. The investment grade corporate bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Corporate Bond Index. The below investment grade bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. High Yield 2% Issuer Capped Bond Index. The U.S. aggregate bond ex-corporate allocation, which includes mortgage- and asset-backed securities, will be managed to replicate the performance of the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate ex- Corporate Index, a traditional market-capitalization weighted index designed to provide diversified exposure to the allocation. The emerging markets bond allocation will be managed to replicate the performance of the JP Morgan EMBI Global Diversified Index, an index that deviates from a traditional market capitalization weighting to provide more robust diversification across its constituent countries.

The "Today" designation in the Fund's name is meant to indicate that the Fund is primarily designed for investors either in retirement and/or currently gradually withdrawing funds from their investments. The Fund does not decrease its equity holdings in an attempt to become increasingly conservative over time, but rather maintains a strategic target allocation to equity and fixed income securities (including money market instruments) in the weights of 30% and 70%, respectively.

At their discretion, the Fund's portfolio managers may make changes to the Fund's glide path and asset allocation consistent with the Fund's target year. Factors that the portfolio managers may consider include but are not limited to market trends, their outlook for a given market capitalization, and the Underlying Funds' performance in various market conditions.

Portfolio Asset Allocation

The following table provides the Fund's target allocations to various underlying portfolios as of July 1, 2022.

Principal Investment Risks

An investment in the Fund may lose money, is not a deposit of a bank or its affiliates, is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation or any other governmental agency, and is primarily subject to the risks briefly summarized below.

Market Risk. The values of, and/or the income generated by, securities held by the Fund may decline due to general market conditions or other factors, including those directly involving the issuers of such securities. Securities markets are volatile and may decline significantly in response to adverse issuer, regulatory, political, or economic developments. Different sectors of the market and different security types may react differently to such developments.

Target Date Fund Risk. A Target Date Fund cannot provide assurance that an investor's investment in the Fund will provide income at, and through the years following, the target year in the Fund's name in amounts adequate to meet the investor's financial goals. In addition, the Fund is subject to the risk that its strategy will not eliminate investment volatility that could reduce the amount of funds available for an investor who begins to withdraw funds or expects to retire close to or in the Fund's target year.

Debt Securities Risk. Debt securities are subject to credit risk and interest rate risk. Credit risk is the possibility that the issuer or guarantor of a debt security may be unable, or perceived to be unable, to pay interest or repay principal when they become due. In these instances, the value of an investment could decline and the Fund could lose money. Credit risk increases as an issuer's credit quality or financial strength declines. Interest rate risk is the possibility that interest rates will change over time. When interest rates rise, the value of debt securities tends to fall. The longer the terms of the debt securities held by a Fund, the more the Fund is subject to this risk. If interest rates decline, interest that the Fund is able to earn on its investments in debt securities may also decline, which could cause the Fund to reduce the dividends it pays to shareholders, but the value of those securities may increase. Very low or negative interest rates may magnify interest rate risk.

Equity Securities Risk. The values of equity securities may experience periods of substantial price volatility and may decline significantly over short time periods. In general, the values of equity securities are more volatile than those of debt securities. Equity securities fluctuate in value and price in response to factors specific to the issuer of the security, such as management performance, financial condition, and market demand for the issuer's products or services, as well as factors unrelated to the fundamental condition of the issuer, including general market, economic and political conditions. Different parts of a market, industry and sector may react differently to adverse issuer, market, regulatory, political, and economic developments.

Underlying Funds Risk. The risks associated with a Fund include the risks related to each Underlying Fund in which the Fund invests.

Emerging Markets Risk. Emerging market securities typically present even greater exposure to the risks described under "Foreign Investment Risk" and may be particularly sensitive to global economic conditions. Emerging market securities are also typically less liquid than securities of developed countries and could be difficult to sell, particularly during a market downturn.

Foreign Investment Risk. Foreign investments may be subject to lower liquidity, greater price volatility and risks related

3

to adverse political, regulatory, market or economic developments. Foreign investments may involve exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates and may be subject to higher withholding and other taxes.

High Yield Securities Risk. High yield securities and unrated securities of similar credit quality (commonly known as "junk bonds") have a much greater risk of default or of not returning principal and their values tend to be more volatile than higher-rated securities with similar maturities.

Inflation-Indexed Debt Securities Risk. The principal value of an inflation-indexed debt security is periodically adjusted according to the rate of inflation and, as a result, the value of a Fund's yield and return will be affected by changes in the rate of inflation.

Management Risk. Investment decisions, techniques, analyses or models implemented by a Fund's manager or sub-adviser in seeking to achieve the Fund's investment objective may not produce expected returns, may cause the Fund's shares to lose value or may cause the Fund to underperform other funds with similar investment objectives.

Mortgage- and Asset-Backed Securities Risk. Mortgage- and asset-backed securities may decline in value and become less liquid when defaults on the underlying mortgages or assets occur and may exhibit additional volatility in periods of rising interest rates. Rising interest rates tend to extend the duration of these securities, making them more sensitive to changes in interest rates than instruments with fixed payment schedules. When interest rates decline or are low, the prepayment of mortgages or assets underlying such securities can reduce a Fund's returns.

Real Estate Securities Risk. Real estate securities are subject to risks from decreases in the values of underlying real estate assets and the income derived from such assets, changes in interest rates, issuer management, macroeconomic developments, government regulation and social and economic trends. The value of certain real estate securities may also be affected by local and regional market conditions.

Smaller Company Securities Risk. Securities of companies with smaller market capitalizations tend to be more volatile and less liquid than those of larger companies.

U.S. Government Obligations Risk. U.S. Government obligations may be adversely impacted by changes in interest rates, and securities issued or guaranteed by U.S. Government agencies or government-sponsored entities may not be backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Government.
