   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;"> Dear Ms. Fettig: </font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div style="text-indent: 36pt;">
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">We have summarized your oral comments to the various annual shareholder reports and related filings made on behalf of the Funds listed on Exhibit A that you relayed to us in our telephone conversation on August 19, 2024. Please note the following responses to your comments below. Capitalized terms not defined below are intended to refer to the defined terms used in the filings referenced above.</font>

     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 1:</font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Absolute Return Fund and Allspring Income Opportunities Fund, you noted that each Fund changed the presentation of benchmark performance in the Performance Highlights section, and you requested that we confirm in correspondence whether this change was the result of a change in primary benchmark or the inclusion of an additional benchmark.</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 1:  With respect to the Allspring Absolute Return Fund, the Fund has added a composite benchmark, the Absolute Return Blended Index, as a secondary benchmark for the Fund, in connection with a recent change to the Fund&#x2019;s investment strategy. The Fund&#x2019;s primary benchmark remains the Morgan Stanley Capital International All Country World Index (Net). </font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to the Allspring Income Opportunities Fund, the Fund has added the Bloomberg U.S. Universal Bond Index as the Fund&#x2019;s new primary benchmark in order to meet the revised requirements for an &#x201c;appropriate broad-based securities market index&#x201d; as set forth in Item 27A of Form N-1A.</font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;

  <div>
    <div style="float: left; width: 72.0pt; white-space: nowrap;">
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 2:</font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund and the references to Reg S-X 12-13C and AICPA Expert Panel Meeting Minutes dated February 20, 2018, you requested that we consider additional disclosure relating to swap contracts used by the Fund. Specifically, you asked whether there were any up-front payments or receipts that should be disclosed in the Schedule of Investments, and asked that we make it clearer which side of the total return swap the Fund was on. In addition, you asked that we confirm the benchmark for the swap and consider adding disclosure about custom basket swaps</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 2: There were no up-front payments or receipts relating to the swap contracts used by the Fund.&#xa0;&#xa0;The requested disclosures will be considered for future filings.</font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
    <div style="float: left; width: 72.0pt; white-space: nowrap;">
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 3:</font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Funds that utilize zero coupon bonds, such as Allspring Ultra Short-Term Municipal Income Fund, you asked that in future filings we disclose a yield for these zero coupons noting that per Reg S-X 12-12 footnote 4 such disclosure is not required but the staff considers doing so a best practice.</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 3:  We will consider the feasibility of including the yield of zero-coupon bonds in the schedule of investments included in future shareholder reports.</font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
    <div style="float: left; width: 72.0pt; white-space: nowrap;">
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 4:</font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Income Opportunities Fund, you noted that per Reg S-X 6-04(15), funds are required to add a line item to the Statement of Assets and Liabilities for commitments and contingencies, including a parenthetical that references the particular Note to the financial statements that includes further detail. You requested that we do so in future filings.</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 4: The requested disclosures will be made in future filings. </font>

    <div style="float: left; width: 72.0pt; white-space: nowrap;">
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 5: </font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund, you noted that the recent filing included disclosure on a reimbursement for a trade error. You asked that we include in correspondence the details on the nature of the trade error along with any internal control implications and mitigating actions taken. </font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 5: The Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund performs a monthly rebalance for one of its strategies.&#xa0;&#xa0;The information used to determine the trades for this rebalance was from an incorrect date causing the trading error.&#xa0;&#xa0;The trades were corrected once discovered leading to the reimbursement of amount disclosed in the Statement of Operations and the Notes to Financial Statements.&#xa0;&#xa0;The error did not exceed $0.01 and 50 basis points of the Fund&#x2019;s NAV, so shareholder reprocessing was not required.&#xa0;&#xa0;Additional reviews of the rebalance trades were implemented to ensure correct information is used going forward. </font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
    <div style="float: left; width: 72.0pt; white-space: nowrap;">
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 6: </font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund, you noted that other expenses represented approximately 14% of total expenses for the Fund and asked that we confirm in correspondence if any specific component of these expenses individually was greater than 5% of total expenses. You noted that going forward the Fund must include any such items in a separate line item in the Statement of Operations pursuant to Reg S-X 6-07(2)(b).</font>

    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">For Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund, there were miscellaneous expenses related to foreign fair valuation in &#x201c;Other expenses&#x201d;.&#xa0;&#xa0;The requested disclosure has been made in the June 2024 annual report of Allspring Alternative Risk Premia Fund and will be made in future filings.&#xa0;&#xa0;Those expenses, if material, will be included in the custody and accounting fee in the future.&#xa0;&#xa0;</font>

     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Comment 7: </font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Global Long/Short Equity Fund and Allspring U.S. Long/Short Equity Fund, you noted that each Fund was established in connection with a shell reorganization. Pursuant to the Division of Investment Management&#x2019;s Dear CFO Letter Item 1998-04, you noted the staff&#x2019;s views on such reorganizations resulting in the need for specific change in auditor disclosure and asked that we include in future filings as needed.</font>

     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 7:</font>
    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Note 9 in the Notes to Financial Statements for the Allspring Global Long/Short Equity Fund and Note 10 in the Notes to Financial Statements for the Allspring U.S. Long/Short Equity Fund include disclosure regarding the change in auditor.&#xa0;&#xa0;The disclosure noted the following:</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">&#x201c;Prior to December 16, 2022, Tait, Weller &amp; Baker LLP was the independent registered public accounting firm for the Predecessor Fund. As a result of the Fund&#x2019;s acquisition of the Predecessor Fund, KPMG LLP became the Fund&#x2019;s independent registered public accounting firm.</font>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The reports of the financial statements audited by Tait, Weller &amp; Baker LLP for each of the years in the four-year period ended October 31, 2022 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. There were no disagreements or reportable events between the Predecessor Fund and Tait, Weller &amp; Baker LLP on any matters of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedures, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Tait, Weller &amp; Baker LLP, would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with its reports on the financial statements of such years.&#x201d;</font>

    </div>
    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Absolute Return Fund, you requested that we explain supplementally why the financials for Allspring Macro Strategies Portfolio had been included while the financial statements of the other funds listed as &#x201c;Affiliated Master Portfolios&#x201d; in the Schedule of Investments were not included.</font>
    </div>
  </div>
  <div style="font-size: 10pt; clear: both;">&#xa0;
  </div>
  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 8: Allspring Absolute Return Fund is a fund-of-funds and is the sole investor in Allspring Macro Strategies Portfolio.&#xa0;&#xa0;Allspring determined that since there are no other investors in the Allspring Macro Strategies Portfolio, standard master/feeder presentation of Allspring Macro Strategies Portfolio would be beneficial to shareholders. </font>

    <div>
     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to the Allspring money market funds, you noted the requirement to disclose distributable earnings in both the Statement of Assets and Liabilities and in the Notes, however, you asked for an explanation of the differences between the figures included in these two locations.</font>

   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 9: The difference between distributable earnings in the Notes to Financial Statements and the amounts disclosed in the Statement of Assets and Liabilities are attributable to dividends payable and deferred trustees&#x2019; fees. </font>

     <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">With respect to Allspring Managed Account CoreBuilder Series EM, you noted that the fee and expense table in the Fund&#x2019;s prospectus included 0.02% in acquired fund fees and expenses with a corresponding waiver, and asked that we explain how the waiver of acquired fund fees and expenses is reflected in the financial statements.</font>

Once the 25% limit is reached, our pre-trade compliance rule will prohibit any additional purchases in issuers that represent more than 5% of total assets. The Allspring VT Discovery All Cap Growth Fund was in excess of the overall 25% issuer limit at period end due to market fluctuation.</font>

  <div>
   <font style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Response 26: The Fund&#x2019;s prospectus includes disclosure regarding the portfolio turnover rate for the Fund and the costs and taxes associated with higher portfolio turnover. Specifically, the summary section of the Fund&#x2019;s prospectus includes the required &#x201c;Portfolio Turnover&#x201d; sub-section that includes the most recent portfolio turnover rate for the Fund and disclosure noting that a higher portfolio turnover rate may result in higher transaction costs and taxes. The prospectus also contains the following disclosure as part of its principal investment strategy discussion: &#x201c;We may actively trade portfolio securities, which may lead to higher transaction costs that may affect the Fund&#x2019;s performance. In addition, active trading of portfolio securities may lead to higher taxes if your shares are held in a taxable account.&#x201d; Because both sets of disclosure highlights the costs and taxes associated with higher portfolio turnover, we do not believe that principal risk disclosure is necessary.</font>
