CHAIRMAN’S LETTER
May 5, 2020
Dear fellow shareholders:
The recent spread ofCOVID-19 has created a stark contrast between 2019 and 2020. The challenges of last year centered around trade wars, which seem so trivial now when compared to the human and economic hardship brought on by theCOVID-19 pandemic.
It now seems like much more than a year ago when, in the second quarter of 2019, the trade war with China suddenly escalated when the Chinese reneged on their promise to halt the theft of intellectual property. Tariffs were imposed and increased multiple times last year with threats to impose even more and not just against China, but also Europe and speculation there could be others. As 2019 was coming to a close, there was finally some relief to trade tensions with China as they passed laws that reduced the minimum 51% Chinese ownership of a company doing business in China as well as provided some believable protections against the theft of certain forms of intellectual property.
At the time, the U.S. and global economies were on solid footing with growth estimated in the +2.0 to +2.5 percent range. Positive tailwinds not only included the signing of the U.S.-China Phase I trade deal, but also the resolution of Brexit,pro-growth U.S. tax reform, accommodative global monetary policies and the U.S. unemployment rate at a50-year low. We believed that these tailwinds could more than offset the headwinds of residual impacts from the U.S.-China trade tariffs, Hong Kong protests, 2020 U.S. presidential election, Iranian conflict, and the Boeing 737 Max manufacturing stoppage.
But then a new and unknown deadly virus began spreading in the heart of China. The novel corona virus was poorly understood in terms of how to best contain it as well as how to treat those infected. Most have underestimated both how rapid the virus could spread as well as how fatal it is. Comparisons to known and more mild viruses such as the flu led many countries to be too complacent in their efforts to containCOVID-19 and has forced them to play “catch up” by enforcing strict policies on social distancing and the use of masks. These policies are working the best in countries where the population is the most vigilant in adhering to them. The success a handful of countries have had reining in the spread ofCOVID-19 is providing a “play book” for others. These successes combined with increasing effectiveness in treating people infected with the virus is providing hope, if not confidence, that the worst could be over in the next couple of months.
However, due to the havoc thatCOVID-19 has wreaked on our health and well-being, economy, and financial markets, it is inevitable that the U.S. and world economies will experience a recession. Indeed, financial markets have been anticipating a recession as demonstrated by the over 30 percent equity market decline from the highs inmid-February to the lows in March as well as the volatilerecord-low bond yields. The question is, will the recession be deep and prolonged, or will it be shallow and brief? With the extreme equity and bond market volatility and declines during March, we believe the consensus is anticipating the weaker scenario – a deep, prolonged global recession. At this time, we do not forecast such a dire
scenario, but rather a material economic slowdown that should reaccelerate once the coronavirus is contained.
Encouragingly, global policymakers’ recent extraordinary actions reflect their understanding of the economic risks. Global central banks and governments have implemented aggressive stimulus measures to help prevent a prolonged downturn. The Federal Reserve launched an unlimited quantitative easing program to aid companies and municipalities; the European Central Bank announced a €750 billion private and public purchase program to help keep economies going and financial markets functioning normally; and the U.S. government recently finalized a $2.6 trillion relief program and there is more to come. The meaningful market decline of bonds, other than those with a government guarantee, is providing intermediate and long-term investment opportunities.
Flight to Cash in Bonds Halted by Federal Reserve Bond Purchases
As the coronavirus spread through multiple communities in the U.S. in March, Treasury yields declined sharply due to an initial flight to quality from stocks to Treasury bonds. By the third week of March, liquidity began to dry up, and investors went from selling what they wanted to sell to selling whatever they could sell. The flight to quality quickly turned into a flight to cash withrun-on-the-bank like behavior. High yield bond prices went into a freefall that was exacerbated by massive withdrawals from corporate and municipal ETFs. Next to experience dramatic selling pressure were investment-grade bonds, then muni bonds, and even money market securities. By the time the Federal Reserve (Fed) stepped in with a plan to launch an unprecedented bond-buying program, even gold and Treasury bonds were being sold aggressively whileT-Bill yields briefly turned negative. It is important to note that the cost to protect against corporate bonds defaulting only rose modestly as yield spreads for corporate bonds were widening dramatically. This demonstrated to us how the decline in corporate bond prices was much more driven by the desire for cash than fear of default.
The panic selling in the bond market caused the Fed to launch a series of massive bond buying programs. Bond prices began to improve once the Fed began buying investment-grade corporate bonds, municipal bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, certain asset-backed bonds, and more. The list of what the Fed is NOT buying is shorter than what they are buying and getting shorter by the day. So far, the Fed has purchased more than $2 trillion worth of bonds and grown its balance sheet to more than $6 trillion. There is currently no hard and fast limit to how far the Fed will go to support the bond market, and it is widely accepted that it will continue to buy as many bonds as needed to meet investors’ desire for liquidity.
Most sectors in the investment-grade taxable bond universe are trading better as the flight to cash has subsided. While sustained market stability will only occur with a slowing of the spread of the virus, it’s a relief to see some semblance of rationality return to the bond market. However, we still expect rating downgrades and defaults in the leisure and energy sectors, and, economically speaking, things
| | | | |
| | | | |

will get worse before they get better even for the companies that survive. Likewise, even with this unprecedented federal support, the municipal market may undergo further bouts of volatility in the coming weeks as the war againstCOVID-19 takes its course. Some sellingre-emerged in early April as the market awaited details of the Fed’s steps to buy municipal bonds. We also expect a significant volume of cyclical rating agency downgrades of municipal bonds given what will be a backdrop of yawning budget gaps and reduction of tax revenues. Localities with revenues dependent on oil and gas, hospitality, and tourism will be hit hardest. Higher education institutions face uncertainties over enrollments andnon-profit hospitals will show financial stress due to deferrals of elective treatments in favor of costly adjustments toCOVID-19 care.
Strategy
Overall, emotional overreactions have caused a number of dislocations in the market thereby providing intermediate and long-term investment opportunities. We expect markets to improve long before an economic recovery materializes. It is very possible that markets will recover once there is a belief that the number of new coronavirus cases has plateaued and that there is “light at the end of the tunnel.”
The Quality Income Fund had increased its weighting in government guaranteed bonds earlier in the year and we have recently been shifting out of government guaranteed bonds and into corporate bonds to take advantage of the Fed’s aggressive purchase program of corporate bonds. However, the Fund will always have at least half of the portfolio invested in government guaranteed bonds.The U.S. Government Securities Fund continues to be and always will be invested 100% in government guaranteed securities. Specifically, the Fund focuses on seasoned, high coupon, government agency mortgage
securities with short durations as a way to try and provide superior levels of long-term income and relative price stability.
Thetax-exempt fixed income strategy for both theTax-Free Income Fund and the MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund is to invest in bonds that experienced unprecedented downward movement in prices due to technical factors such as redemptions inopen-end mutual funds and ETF’s, rather than due to fundamental credit deterioration. Credit profiles of most municipal bond issuers remain stable and strong. With long-term yields not seen since the spring of 2019, and the Fed likely to be accommodative for some time, the opportunity set for long-term investors to add attractively valuedtax-exempt bonds, especially with intermediate and longer duration, has expanded considerably. We view the current environment as a good buying opportunity to add totax-exempt municipal exposure.
In conclusion, investors should maintain a diversified portfolio of high-quality stocks and bonds underpinned by strong fundamentals to help manage risk in challenging market conditions. Please see our complete Outlook and Strategy research paper at www.sitfunds.com.

Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class S and Class Y |
The objective of the U.S. Government Securities Fund is to provide high current income and safety of principal, which it seeks to attain by investing solely in debt obligations issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government or its agencies or its instrumentalities.
Agency mortgage securities and U.S. Treasury securities are the principal holdings in the Fund. The mortgage securities that the Fund purchases consist of pass-through securities including those issued by Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA), Federal National Mortgage Association (FNMA), and Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC).
Fund Performance
The Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund – Class S provided a return of +5.25% during the12-month period ending March 31, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index of +8.93%. The Fund’s30-day SEC yield was 2.55% and its12-month distribution rate was 2.06%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
During the12-month period, the Fund benefited from the consistent relatively high level of income provided by its holdings in higher coupon government agency mortgages. Yields on U.S. Treasuries decreased resulting in prices of the government agency mortgage holdings to increase. However, due to market expectations of future elevated prepayment speeds, prices on mortgage securities under-performed relative to the benchmark. Despite declining mortgage rates, the Fund continues to experience stable prepayment rates as the mortgage holdings are generally well seasoned and have been through many refinancing cycles. The Fund reduces interest rate risk by using futures and options onTreasury securities.The use of futures and options was effective in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value, however, it detracted from the return.
Outlook and Positioning
The year pivoted from concerns regarding global growth, trade issues with China, upcoming election season, and global conflicts to a global pandemic brought on by theCOVID-19 virus. Before the global pandemic took root, the U.S. economy was on a solid footing with growth estimates in the +2.0 to +2.5 percent range. The world has ground to a standstill and most economies are falling into recessions.A flight to quality quickly turned into a flight to cash withrun-on-the-bank like behavior. Investors’ panic selling caused the Federal Reserve to launch a series of massive bond buying programs which includes investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. In addition, the Fed Funds rate started the year at 2.50 percent and was cut all the way to 0.25 percent. We expect interest rates to remain lower until global concerns wane regarding theCOVID-19 virus. The financial markets
HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

will likely experience elevated levels of volatility, which should provide trading opportunities in the upcoming year. The Fund’s high coupon mortgages should continue to produce an income advantage in this environment as prepayments are likely to remain stable. We continue to position the Fund defensively against global concerns of theCOVID-19 virus while maintaining the Fund’s focus on seasoned, high coupon agency mortgage securities which provide a high level of income with relatively stable prices. This high level of income and stability of principal has been a fundamental focus of the Fund since its inception.

3 The inception date of Class Y Shares was January 1, 2020.
4 Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the fair value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant. The correlation between duration and price sensitivity is greater for securities rated investment-grade than it is for securities rated below investment-grade. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by the Adviser and are subject to a number of limitations. Effective duration is calculated based on historical price changes of securities held by the Fund, and therefore is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rates remain within their historical range.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The objective of the Quality Income Fund is to provide high current income and safety of principal, which it seeks to attain by investing at least 80% of its assets in debt securities issued by the U.S. government and its agencies, debt securities issued by corporations, and mortgage and other asset-backed securities. The Fund invests at least 50% of its assets in U.S. government debt securities, which are securities issued, guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government, its agencies or instrumentalities.
Fund Performance
The Sit Quality Income Fund provided a return of +2.04% during the12-month period ending March 31, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index of +4.53%. The Fund’s30-day SEC yield was 1.21% and its12-month distribution rate was 1.82%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
The primary goal of the Fund is to maintain a high credit quality portfolio with stable principal values, while generating a relatively high level of income. During the12-month period, the Fund benefited from the income advantage produced by its holdings in residential mortgages, corporate, and taxable municipal securities. The Fund reduces interest rate risk by using futures and options on Treasury securities. The use of futures and options was effective in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value, however, it detracted from the return as short-term yields declined by more than 2 percent. Corporate securities experienced a positive return for the Fund, but significant yield spread widening caused those securities to under-perform the benchmark. The Fund’s treasury holdings also lagged the benchmark as the securities held by the Fund are shorter in duration than the benchmark. The Fund’s structured securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities, underper-formed as spreads widened on these securities as concerns regarding theCOVID-19 virus accelerated. Although the Fund underper-formed during the12-month period, several sectors outperformed the benchmark. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed due to the strong income advantage. Taxable municipal securities outperformed as the strong income return and longer duration performed well in the interest rate environment.
Outlook and Positioning
The year pivoted from concerns regarding global growth, trade issues with China, upcoming election season, and global conflicts to a global pandemic brought on by theCOVID-19 virus. Before the global pandemic took root, the U.S. economy was on a solid footing with growth estimates in the +2.0 to +2.5 percent range. The world has ground to a standstill and most economies are falling into recessions. A flight to quality quickly turned into a flight to cash withrun-on-the-bank like behavior. While yields on U.S. Treasuries declined, yields on credit sensitive sectors increased causing significant price declines. Investors’ panic selling caused the Federal Reserve to launch a series
HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000
The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays1-3 Year Government/Credit Index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns include the reinvestment of distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
1 The Bloomberg Barclays1-3 Year Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index of Treasury or government agency securities and investment grade corporate debt securities with maturities of one to three years. The returns include the reinvestment of income and do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This is the Fund’s primary index.
of massive bond buying programs which includes investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. In addition, the Fed Funds rate started the year at 2.50 percent and was cut all the way to 0.25 percent. We expect interest rates to remain lower until global concerns wane regarding theCOVID-19 virus. The financial markets will likely experience elevated levels of volatility, which should provide trading opportunities in the upcoming year. The Fund’s high coupon mortgages should continue to produce an income advantage in this environment as prepayments are likely to remain stable.
We have positioned the Fund defensively, in both credit quality and interest rate sensitivity to maximize return potential while preserving principal. We focus on a mix of Treasury, agency and credit sectors that provide relatively high levels of income and stable prices.

Effective Duration3: | | 1.7 Years |
3 Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the fair value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant. The correlation between duration and price sensitivity is greater for securities rated investment-grade than it is for securities rated below investment-grade. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by the Adviser and are subject to a number of limitations. Effective duration is calculated based on historical price changes of securities held by the Fund, and therefore is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rates remain within their historical range.

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The objective of theTax-Free Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with preservation of capital, by investing primarily in investment-grade municipal securities.
Such municipal securities generate interest income that is exempt from both federal regular income tax and federal alternative minimum tax. During normal market conditions, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in suchtax-exempt municipal securities.
Fund Performance
The SitTax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +1.66% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020 versus a return of +2.19% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays5-year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund’s30-day SEC yield was 2.00%, compared to the yield of 1.68% for the benchmark index. The Fund’s12-month distribution rate was 3.01%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
Thetax-exempt yield curve shifted lower during the past year with long yields falling the most. Yields for short to intermediate maturities fell approximately45-55 basis points, while yields for long bonds fell approximately 60 basis points.Tax-exempt fund flows provided strong support for the municipal market throughout much of the fiscal year. Inflows reversed sharply in March of 2020 as theCOVID-19 crisis roiled the markets. However, net positive inflows still exceeded $65B for the year. Municipal issuance for the fiscal year was $432B despite a sharpdrop-off in March. That volume exceeded the prior fiscal year by 22.6%, yet was easily absorbed by the market. Credit spreads fortax-exempt bonds widened sharply in March in response to the crisis and thus ended up wider for the year, particularly forBBB-rated credits and below.
The Fund benefitted from a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year, as longer bonds significantly outperformed shorter bonds. However, the Fund’s hedge in U.S. Treasury futures partially offset this excess return as Treasury yields decreased approximately65-70 basis points through late November when the hedge was removed. In terms of quality, performance was directly correlated with credit strength as AAA-rated bonds were the best performing part of the index andBBB-rated bonds the worst. The Fund’s slight overweight inBBB-rated bonds as well as significant allocation to below investment grade andnon-rated bonds were the biggest reasons the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the year. An offsetting factor was the outperformance of both single family mortgage revenue bonds, the Fund’s largest weighting, and insured bonds.
HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000
The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays5-Year Municipal Bond Index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns include the reinvestment of distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
1 The Bloomberg Barclays5-Year Municipal Bond Index is the 5 year(4-6) component of the Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged, rules-based, market-value-weighted index for the long-termtax-exempt bond market. The index includes bonds with a minimum credit rating of BBB. The returns include the reinvestment of income and do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This is the Fund’s primary index.
Outlook and Positioning
The Fund’s core strategy continues to emphasize current income as the primary driver of returns over the long run. Housing-related sectors remain a meaningful percentage of the Fund, totaling more than 45% of Fund assets, and continue to present an attractive relative value. Similarly, over 20% of the Fund remains invested innon-rated bonds which provide an attractive income advantage. We will add to higher coupon bonds when available and focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, which we expect to be wide-ranging in the current environment. We remain diversified on a geographic and issuer basis in order to mitigate credit and liquidity risk, and we believe the Fund is well-positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

Effective Duration3: | | 6.0 Years |
3 Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the fair value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant. The correlation between duration and price sensitivity is greater for securities rated investment-grade than it is for securities rated below investment-grade. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by the Adviser and are subject to a number of limitations. Effective duration is calculated based on historical price changes of securities held by the Fund, and therefore is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rates remain within their historical range.

Sit MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund |
OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The investment objective of the MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.
During normal market conditions, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in municipal securities that generate interest income that is exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax. The Fund anticipates that substantially all of its distributions to its shareholders will be exempt as such. For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”), up to 20% of the Fund’s income may be alternative minimum taxable income.
Fund Performance
The Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +1.46% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2020, versus a return of +2.19% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays5-year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2020, the Fund’s30-day SEC yield was 2.39%, compared to the yield of 1.68% for the Index. The Fund’s12-month distribution rate was 2.82%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
Minnesota’s budget and economic outlook were stable entering theCOVID-19 crisis. The latest forecast for theFY2020-21 biennium showed a projected surplus of $1.5 billion. Obviously, uncertain economic times lie ahead, but the State is positioned as well as any to weather future revenue declines. Minnesota’s state general obligation bond rating remains at AAA by Standard & Poor’s Corp. and Aa1 by Moody’s.
Thetax-exempt yield curve shifted lower during the past year with long yields falling the most. Yields for short to intermediate maturities fell approximately45-55 basis points, while yields for long bonds fell approximately 60 basis points.Tax-exempt fund flows provided strong support for the municipal market throughout much of the fiscal year. Inflows reversed sharply in March of 2020 as theCOVID-19 crisis roiled the markets. However, net positive inflows still exceeded $65B for the year. Municipal issuance for the fiscal year was $432B despite a sharpdrop-off in March. That volume exceeded the prior fiscal year by 22.6% yet was easily absorbed by the market. In comparison, Minnesota issuance increased 16.3% above the prior year. Credit spreads fortax-exempt bonds widened sharply in March in response to the crisis and thus ended up wider for the year, particularly forBBB-rated credits and below.
The Fund benefitted from a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year, as longer bonds significantly outperformed shorter bonds. However, the Fund’s hedge in U.S. Treasury futures partially offset this excess return through late May when the hedge was removed. In terms of quality, performance was directly correlated with credit strength asAAA-rated bonds were the best performing part of the index andBBB-rated bonds the worst. The Fund’s slight overweight inBBB-rated bonds as well as significant allocation to below investment grade andnon-rated bonds were the biggest reasons the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the year. An offsetting factor was the outperformance of both single family mortgage revenue bonds, the Fund’s second largest weighting, and general obligation bonds.
HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000
The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays5-Year Municipal Bond Index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns include the reinvestment of distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.
1 The Bloomberg Barclays5-Year Municipal Bond Index is the 5 year(4-6) component of the Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged, rules-based, market-value-weighted index for the long-termtax-exempt bond market. The index includes bonds with a minimum credit rating of BBB. The returns include the reinvestment of income and do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This is the Fund’s primary index.
Outlook and Positioning
The Fund’s core strategy continues to emphasize current income as the primary driver of returns over the long run. Housing-related sectors remain a meaningful percentage of the Fund, totaling almost 40% of Fund assets, and continue to present an attractive relative value. Similarly, almost 25% of the Fund remains invested innon-rated bonds, which provide an attractive income advantage. We will add to higher coupon bonds when available and focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, which we expect to be wide-ranging in the current environment. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

3 Duration is a measure of estimated price sensitivity relative to changes in interest rates. Portfolios with longer durations are typically more sensitive to changes in interest rates. For example, if interest rates rise by 1%, the fair value of a security with an effective duration of 5 years would decrease by 5%, with all other factors being constant. The correlation between duration and price sensitivity is greater for securities rated investment-grade than it is for securities rated below investment-grade. Duration estimates are based on assumptions by the Adviser and are subject to a number of limitations. Effective duration is calculated based on historical price changes of securities held by the Fund, and therefore is a more accurate estimate of price sensitivity provided interest rates remain within their historical range.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Year Ended March 31, 2020
The Sit Mutual Funds (the Funds) areno-load funds, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified (except MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund which isnon-diversified),open-end management investment companies, or series thereof. The Sit Quality Income Fund, SitTax-Free Income Fund and MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund are series funds of Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc. Each fund has 10 billion authorized shares of capital stock. Shares in the U.S. Government Securities Fund have a par value of $0.01, and shares in other funds have a par value of $0.001. This report covers the bond funds of the Sit Mutual Funds.
The investment objective for each Fund is as follows:
| | |
Fund | | Investment Objective |
U.S. Government Securities Fund | | High level of current income and safety of principal. |
Quality Income Fund | | High level of current income and safety of principal. |
Tax-Free Income Fund | | High level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent |
| | with the preservation of capital. |
MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund | | High level of current income that is exempt from federal regular income tax and |
| | Minnesota regular personal income tax, consistent with the preservation of |
| | capital. |
The U.S. Government Securities Fund offer Class S and Class Y shares. Both classes of shares have identical voting, dividend and liquidation rights. Income, expenses (other than class specific expenses) and realized and unrealized gains or losses on investments are allocated to each class of shares based upon its relative net assets.
(2) | Significant Accounting Policies |
The Funds are investment companies and follow accounting and reporting guidance under Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 946, “Financial Services-Investment Companies”. The following is a summary of significant accounting policies consistently followed by the Funds in the preparation of their financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Investments in Securities
Investment securities are carried at fair value based upon closing market quotations on the last business day of the period. Investments in securities traded on national or international securities exchanges are valued at the last reported sales price prior to the time when assets are valued. Equity securities traded on theover-the-counter market are valued at the last reported sales price or if the last sales price is not available, at the last reported bid price. The sale and bid prices or prices deemed best to reflect fair value quoted by dealers who make markets in these securities are obtained from independent pricing services. Consistent with the Funds’ valuation policies and procedures, the current fair value of certain fixed income securities is provided by an independent pricing service. Fixed income securities for which prices are not available from an independent pricing service but where an active market exists are valued using market quotations obtained from broker-dealers or quotation systems. Securities for which market quotations are not available, such as private placement securities, are valued at fair value according to methods selected in good faith by Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (the “Adviser”) and may include dealer-supplied valuations or other inputs and assumptions that pricing services would typically utilize. Short-term investments of sufficient credit quality with maturities of 60 days or less when acquired, or which subsequently are within 60 days of maturity, are valued at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Options and futures contracts entered into and held by the Funds are valued at the close of the securities and commodities exchange on which they are traded.
Security transactions are accounted for on the date the securities are purchased or sold. Gains and losses are calculated on the identified-cost basis. Interest, including level-yield amortization of long-term bond premium and discount, is recorded on the accrual basis. Dividends received fromclosed-end fund holdings are included in Dividend Income and distributions from capital gains, if any, are included in Net Realized Gain (Loss).
| | | | |
| | | | |
62 | | | SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | |
Delivery and payment for securities which have been purchased by the Funds on a forward commitment or when-issued basis can take place two weeks or more after the transaction date. During this period, such securities are subject to market fluctuations and may increase or decrease in value prior to delivery.
The MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund concentrates its investments in Minnesota, and therefore may have more credit risk related to the economic conditions in the state of Minnesota than a portfolio with broader geographical diversification.
Derivative Instruments
The Funds apply derivative instrument disclosure standards in order to enable investors to understand how and why the Funds use derivatives, how derivatives are accounted for, and how derivative instruments affect the Funds’ financial statements.
To hedge interest rate risk, the Funds used Treasury options and futures traded on a U.S. exchange. Risks of entering into futures and options contracts include the possibility of an illiquid market and that a change in the value of the option may not correlate with changes in the value of the underlying securities.
The premiums paid for the options represent the cost of the investment and the options are valued daily at their closing price. The Funds recognize a realized gain or loss when the option is sold or expired. Option holdings within the Funds, which may include put options and call options, are subject to loss of value with the passage of time, and may experience a total loss of value upon expiration. With options, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Funds since they are exchange traded.
Upon entering into a futures contract, a Fund is required to deposit either cash or securities in an amount (initial margin) equal to a certain percentage of the contract value. Subsequent payments (variation margin) are made or received by the Fund each day. The variation margin payments are equal to the daily changes in the contract value and are recorded as unrealized gains and losses. The Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss when the contract is closed or expired. With futures contracts, there is minimal counterparty risk to the Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange-traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.
During the year ended March 31, 2020, the average volume of derivative activity, calculated on a quarterly basis, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | | Average | | | Average | |

Fair Value Measurements
The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:
| • | Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value. |
| • | Level 2 – debt securities are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, U.S. government and government agency obligations, and municipal securities the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. For asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. All of these inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement. |
| • | Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments. |
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.
At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities.
A summary of the levels for the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2020 is included with the Funds’ schedules of investments.
Federal Taxes
The Funds’ policy is to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of their taxable income to shareholders. The Funds have recorded in their financial statements the full benefit of their tax positions taken in connection with the Registered Investment Company (RIC) qualification and distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no income tax provision is required. Also, in order to avoid the payment of any federal excise taxes, the Funds will distribute substantially all of their net investment income and net realized gains on a calendar year basis.
Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions taken in federal tax returns for all open tax years and has concluded that as of March 31, 2020, no provision for income tax would be required in the Funds’ financial statements. The Funds’ federal and state income and federal excise tax returns remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service and state departments of revenue until such time as the applicable statute of limitations for audit has expired. For example, U.S. tax returns are generally subject to audit for three years from the date they are filed.

Distributions
Distributions to shareholders are recorded as of the close of business on the record date. Such distributions are payable in cash or reinvested in additional shares of the Funds’ capital stock. Distributions from net investment income are declared daily and paid monthly for the Funds. Distributions from net realized gains, if any, will be made annually for each of the Funds.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported results for the respective periods. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Guarantees and Indemnifications
Under each Fund’s organizational documents, its officers and directors are indemnified against certain liabilities arising out of the performance of their duties to each Fund. In addition, certain of each Fund’s contracts with its service providers contain general indemnification clauses. Each Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown since the amount of any future claims that may be made against each Fund cannot be determined and each Fund has no historical basis for predicting the likelihood of any such claims.

Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc.:
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying statements of assets and liabilities of the Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund and Sit Quality Income Fund, SitTax-Free Income Fund, and Sit MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund (each a series of Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc.) (collectively, the Funds), including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2020, the related statements of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the related notes (collectively, the financial statements) and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five year period then ended. In our opinion, the financial statements and financial highlights present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Funds as of March 31, 2020, the results of their operations for the year then ended, the changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the five year period then ended, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements and financial highlights are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial highlights based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements and financial highlights are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements and financial highlights, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements and financial highlights. Such procedures also included confirmation of securities owned as of March 31, 2020, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited)
As a shareholder of the Funds, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including redemption fees and (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; and other Fund expenses. This Example is intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
The Example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period October 1, 2019 to March 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The first line of the following table provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information in this line, together with the amount you invested, to estimate the expenses that you paid over the period. Simply divide your account value by $1,000 (for example, an $8,600 account value divided by $1,000 = 8.6), then multiply the result by the number in the first line under the heading entitled “Expenses Paid During Period” to estimate the expenses you paid on your account during this period.
Hypothetical Example for Comparison Purposes
The second line of the table provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on the Fund’s actual expense ratio and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not the Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balance or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare the ongoing costs of investing in the Fund and other funds. To do so, compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of the other funds.
Please note that the expenses shown in the table are meant to highlight your ongoing costs only and do not reflect any transactional costs, such as redemption fees. Therefore, the second line of the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs (redemption fees) were included, your costs would have been higher.

RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS
At their joint meeting held on October 21, 2019, the Boards of Directors of the Sit Mutual Funds unanimously approved the continuation for another one year period the investment management agreements entered into by and between Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (“SIA”) and Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc. dated November 1, 1992; and Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. dated November 1, 1992 (the “Agreements”).
The Boards approved the Agreements after a lengthy discussion and consideration of various factors relating to both the Boards’ selection of SIA as the investment adviser and the Boards’ approval of the fees to be paid under the Agreements.
Investment Adviser Criteria.The Directors began their analysis by discussing their criteria for determining the quality of an investment adviser. The Directors’ noted that their analysis is similar to that used by institutional investors in evaluating and selecting investment advisers. The Directors discussed several factors used to determine the overall quality of an investment adviser and the nature, extent and quality of the services performed by SIA, including the following:
Investment Philosophy and Process.The Directors considered SIA’s philosophy of managing assets. With respect to fixed income securities, SIA stresses the consistent attainment of superior risk-adjusted returns using a conservative investment management approach that identifies pricing anomalies in the market and management of portfolio duration.
With respect to fixed income securities, SIA seeks securities with a special emphasis on interest income and significant stability of principal value. SIA’s style seeks to avoid excessive return volatility and generate consistent results over an economic cycle. The Directors noted that the Bond Funds’ objectives are to seek high current income. The Directors reviewed the Bond Funds’ characteristics, and noted that SIA has consistently managed the Bond Funds in this style. The Directors noted that since the Bond Funds emphasize income, they may at times not rank highly in total return comparisons with other funds during certain periods.
The Directors discussed SIA’s consistent and well-defined investment process. With respect to fixed income securities, the portfolio managers are responsible for implementing the strategy set forth in SIA’s duration targets and interest rate projections.
Investment Professionals.The Directors discussed the experience, knowledge and organizational stability of SIA and its investment professionals. The Directors noted that SIA’s senior professionals are actively involved in the investment process and have significant investment industry experience.
The Directors discussed the depth of SIA’s investment staff. The Directors noted that SIA has over 30 investment professionals. Given the investment products offered by SIA and the assets under management, the Directors determined that SIA’s investment staff is well positioned to meet the current needs of its clients, including the Funds, and to accommodate growth in the number of clients and assets under management for the near future. The Directors concluded that the depth of the investment staff, and in particular senior management and
| | | | |
| | | | |
74 | | | SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT | |
investment analysts, is actually greater than the Funds currently require at their present asset size. The Directors noted that SIA has the resources of a $13.1 billion dollar investment firm working for the benefit of the Fund shareholders.
Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed and discussed the Funds’ investment performance on an absolute and comparable basis for various periods as discussed below. The Directors noted that the investment performance of the Funds has generally been competitive with indices and other funds with similar investment styles as the Funds, such as fixed income funds seeking to maximize income.
Corporate Culture. The Directors discussed SIA’s corporate values to operate under the highest ethical and professional standards. SIA’s culture is set and practiced by senior management who insist that all professionals exhibit honesty and integrity. The Board noted that the firm’s values are evident in all of the services provided to the Funds.
Review of Specific Factors.The Directors continued their analysis by reviewing specific information on SIA and the Funds and specific terms of the Agreements, including the following.
Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed investment performance of each Fund for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months,year-to-date, 1 year, 5 years (as applicable), 10 years (as applicable) and since inception, both on an absolute basis and on a comparative basis to indices and mutual funds within the same investment categories. As noted above, the Directors concluded that the investment performance of the Funds has been competitive in relation to their stated objectives and strategies on a comparable basis with funds with similar objectives and strategies.
Fees and Expenses. The Directors noted that the Funds pay SIA a monthly fee and SIA is responsible for all of the Funds’ expenses except interest, brokerage commissions and transaction charges and certain extraordinary expenses. With respect to Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, SIA’s obligation to bear all the Fund’s expenses (except for supervisory and administrative fees paid to SIA, interest, brokerage commissions and transaction charges and certain extraordinary expenses) is set forth in a separate Supervision and Administration Agreement approved by the Directors. The Directors reviewed fees paid in prior years and the fees to be paid under the Agreements.
The Directors compared each Fund’s expense ratio to the average and median expense ratios ofno-load mutual funds within the same Morningstar, Inc. investment category, the average expense ratios for load funds within the Morningstar category, and the average expense ratios for all funds within the Morningstar category. Certain of the Fund’s expense ratios were higher than the averages, and certain of the Fund’s expense ratios were lower than the averages. The Directors noted that the Morningstarno-load categories include funds of various asset sizes, some of which are significantly larger in assets than the Funds. The Directors found that each Fund’s total expense ratio to be within an acceptable range compared to the total expense ratios of otherno-load funds within the Fund’s Morningstar category. The Directors concluded that the fees paid by the Funds are reasonable and appropriate.
The Directors reviewed the extent to which the fees to be paid under the Agreements by each Fund may be affected by an increase in the Fund’s assets, which included reviewing each Fund’s current and historical assets and the likelihood and magnitude of future increases in the Fund’s assets. The Directors agreed that it is appropriate that the Funds benefit from improved economies of scale as the Funds’ assets increase. However, the Directors concluded that given the amount of the Funds’ current assets and the likelihood and magnitude of future increases in the Funds’ assets, negotiating a graduated fee structure is unnecessary at this time since the fees to be paid under the current Agreements are reasonable and appropriate.
The Directors reviewed the expenses paid by SIA relating to the operations of the Funds, and SIA’s income with respect to the management of the Funds for the past two calendar years. The Directors concluded that the expenses paid were appropriate.
The Directors reviewed SIA’s investment advisory fee schedule for investment management services provided to other clients. The Directors compared the services provided to the Funds and other clients of SIA, and recognized that the Funds’ expenses are borne by SIA. The Directors concluded that the fees paid by the Funds in relation to the fees paid by other SIA clients were appropriate and reasonable. The Directors also concluded that SIA’s profit margin with respect to the management of the Funds was appropriate.
The Directors discussed the extent to which SIA receives benefits from the relationship with the Funds such as soft dollar arrangements by which brokers provide research services to SIA as a result of brokerage generated by the Funds. The Board concluded that any benefits
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
SIA receives from its relationship with the Funds are well within industry norms and are reflected in the amount of the fees paid by the Funds to SIA and are appropriate and reasonable.
Non-Advisory Services.The Directors considered the quality ofnon-advisory services which SIA provides to the Funds (and their shareholders) and the quality and depth of SIA’snon-investment personnel who provide such services. Directors concluded that the level of such services and the quality and depth of such personnel are consistent with industry standards.
Finally, the Directors considered the compliance staff and the regulatory history of SIA and the Funds, and concluded that both are consistent with industry standards.
Based on these conclusions, without any single conclusion being dispositive, the Directors determined that renewal of the Agreements was in the interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout theopen-end investment company industry, thereby reducing the risk that funds will be unable to meet their redemption obligations and mitigating dilution of the interests of fund shareholders.
At their joint meeting held on October 21, 2019, the Boards of Directors (the “Boards”) of the Sit Mutual Funds (the “Funds”) reviewed the Funds’ liquidity risk management program (the “Program”) pursuant to the Liquidity Rule. Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (“SIA”), the investment adviser to the Funds, serves as the Program Administrator and provided the Boards with a report that addressed the operation of the Program and assessed its adequacy and effectiveness of implementation and any material changes to the Program as of September 30, 2019 (the “Report”).
The Report described its liquidity classification methodology and the determination that a Highly Liquid Investment Minimum is not currently necessary for any Fund. The Report also noted that the Program complied with the key factors for consideration under the Liquidity Rule for assessing, managing, and periodically reviewing liquidity risk, as follows:
A. Each Fund’s investment strategy and liquidity of investments during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions:SIA reviewed each Fund’s strategy and the determinations that each strategy remains appropriate for anopen-end fund. This determination was based on each Fund’s holding’s liquidity, diversification, and average position size.
B. Short-term and long-term cash flow projections during both normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions:The Report indicated that it considered historical net redemption activity and shareholder ownership concentration and distribution channels to determine each Fund’s Reasonably Anticipated Trading Size. It was also noted that each Fund has adopted anin-kind redemption policy which may be utilized to meet large redemption requests.
C. Holdings of cash and cash equivalents, as well as borrowing arrangements:The report reviewed each Fund’s holdings of cash and cash equivalents, available borrowing arrangements if any, and other funding sources.
There were no material changes to the Program during the past year. The Report stated that SIA concluded that the Program is operating as intended and is effective in implementing the requirements of the Liquidity Rule.
