CHAIRMAN’S LETTER October 30, 2020 |
Dear fellow shareholders:
According to Chinese tradition, it is reputed to be a curse to wish upon an adversary: “May you live in interesting times”. If such an imprecation exists, we surely fell under its spell this year. Of course, “interesting” does not do justice to 2020. Indeed, it was Lenin who ominously said: “There are decades where nothing happens; and there are weeks when decades happen.” The six-month period ended September 30, 2020 contained such weeks. The world experienced the worst pandemic in a century and the most severe and abrupt collapse in economic activity since the Great Depression. Extraordinary volatility enveloped the financial markets. These six months will long be remembered, analyzed and debated by historians for the decisions made, their consequences, and the long-lasting changes in the ways we live, work, and interact as a society.
These six months were also characterized by the initial steps to re-open the U.S. and global economies. This period is marked not only by a freefall of the economy but also by a remarkably powerful rebound of much of it and the resilience of financial markets. However, perhaps no aspect of this period is more significant and long-lasting than the monetary and fiscal “shock and awe” campaign unleashed by the Federal Reserve and the federal government to force the economy and markets out of crisis. We will recover from this economic plunge in coming months, but the after-effects of the massive government interventions will persist, shaping market environments far into the future.
The New Era of Whatever it Takes
During the last six months, the Federal Reserve and Congress demonstrated an extraordinary commitment to doing whatever is necessary to ensure liquidity and stability in financial markets. The Fed had already slashed the Fed Funds rate in two cuts by March back to the all-time low of 0.00%-0.25% last seen in the throes of the Great Recession in 2008 (and not raised until late 2015). That was just the opening salvo this time. With monetary policy constrained by an almost zero fed funds rate, the Federal Reserve unleashed an array of actions which meaningfully exceeded the level of response to the 2008 liquidity crisis. The Fed quickly began massive buying of mainly Treasuries and Agency mortgage-backed securities that totaled almost $3 trillion. These purchases equaled a large portion of the annual volume of those markets. Fed holdings are expected to exceed $9 trillion by year end. The combined sum of the Fed and European Central Bank balance sheets ($14.7 trillion by 9/25/20) surged +65% year-over-year. Unwinding these positions in an orderly manner is likely to take decades and ensure that government intervention persists well beyond the pandemic.
Beyond the massive bond purchases, the Fed also established 11 major emergency aid programs to maintain smooth functioning of a wide variety of markets. Most of these programs were new and brought the reach of the Fed further than ever before. These included programs to aid primary Treasury bond dealers, the corporate commercial paper market, money market mutual funds, the asset-backed securities market (which finances credit cards and autos, for example), and one for lending to state and local governments. The Fed also
instituted massive direct lending to small and medium size businesses. Furthermore, it created programs to directly buy investment grade corporate bonds in the bond market – a new first for the Federal Reserve. The Fed intervention has been so large that it elevated the Fed’s credibility to the point where the Fed didn’t have to utilize all the available funding for these programs. The confidence the Fed instilled in the markets and the economy by these sweeping measures turned the tide.
The Fed pushed further into unknown territory in late August as it announced a fundamental shift in policy to “inflation averaging.” Essentially, this means it will let inflation run above its longstanding 2% target. Additionally, the Fed shifted its stance to de-emphasize the traditional monitoring of the unemployment rate to gauge if the economy will overheat and inflation pick up. Employment levels can now run at or above full employment estimates without causing concerns over a pre-emptive Fed reaction to raise interest rates. The Fed has also announced enhanced guidance that states its intention to keep short rates near zero until at least 2023.
Congress did not stand idle; it moved fast to provide economic relief totaling $4 trillion since March, with approximately 60% disbursed or committed by September 30. Combined with Federal Reserve and executive actions, total stimulus aid now exceeds $11 trillion, or about 60% of annual GDP, bringing federal outlays to levels not seen since WWII. The corresponding spike in U.S. Treasury issuance has been offset by Fed purchases. This means that the Fed, by buying up so much Treasury debt, was financing the widening surge in the budget deficit arising from the federal spending binge. This exercise in Modern Monetary Theory may have an undesirable impact on inflation and the U.S. dollar eventually.
For the Economy, the Worst and the Best of Times
The Fed’s massive intervention was highly effective. The recession of the first half of 2020 was the deepest as well as the shortest in modern history. This is not surprising, since it was triggered by a manufactured lockdown. The U.S. economy shrank by an annualized -31.4% quarter-to-quarter rate in the 2Q of 2020. That left GDP $2 trillion below the peak in the 4Q of 2019. (A 5% decline occurred in 1Q 2020.) A huge bounce in 3Q 2020 GDP is shaping up to be over +25%. The massive stimulus and controlled re-openings explain why the U.S. economy experienced close to a V-shaped recovery. A large jump in manufacturing orders and the ISM Manufacturing Purchasing Managers Index led to improved business confidence and an improved capital expenditures outlook. Housing starts rose 22.6% in July, the most since October 2016; building applications rose 18.8% during July, the highest increase since January 1990.
However, even the optimistic estimate for 3Q20 GDP would still leave it short of the peak in 4Q 19 by over $600 billion. GDP may not return to its prior top until 2022, driven by pent-up demand, inventory replenishment, and monetary stimulus. U.S. economic normalization is lagging because fiscal disbursements peaked; a fiscal cliff has arisen. Consumer spending, which accounts for just under 70% of GDP, had a strong snapback but may fade as consumers tap more

into savings. Initial unemployment claims remain elevated, even relative to 2009; job postings ebbed in August. The post-lockdown economic recovery remains highly vulnerable to coronavirus shocks. The first quarter of 2021 will be a major inflection point in financial markets as vaccines begin to be distributed in various places around the world. Investors will focus on how quickly vaccines are distributed through mid-2021 to predict the strength of the economic rebound. We believe investors will underestimate the timing and degree of the vaccine-fueled economic rebound. The U.S. may probably be one of the last countries to formally approve a vaccine. In the near term, this may provide significant investment opportunities before a solid rebound in 2021.
The Bond Markets Respond Exceedingly Well to the Medicine
As the Fed bought up Treasuries and MBS, as well as sectors they had never purchased before (investment grade corporate bonds and high-yield ETFs), it sparked an explosive rally in early spring. By summer, a regime of tightly controlled ultra-low rates and low volatility emerged. The 10-year Treasury bond yield had begun the year at 1.92% and fallen as low as 0.54% on March 9. In contrast, during the six months ended 9/30/20, it began at 0.70% and ended at 0.69%. Intra-period, it ticked up briefly as high as 0.91% on 6/5/20 and just barely set a new low of 0.52% on 8/4/20. October started with the 10-year Treasury bond yield breaking out of this range. The real bond yield (net of inflation) likely reached a low of -1.12% on 9/2/20 and is now trending up to the 200-day moving average of -0.50%, 40 percentage points higher than the current level. Steepening trend of the yield curve also developed as the period ended with a difference of 1.33% between the 30-year and 2-year Treasury bond yields, approximately 0.50% higher than when the year began.
The Fed’s intervention allowed investors to overcome tragic economic data, low corporate earnings, and the impending wave of rating downgrades and high yield defaults. Notably, investment-grade corporate yields hit an all-time low of 1.82% in early August as spreads set a new post-coronavirus low of just 1.24% above Treasury bond yields. However, not all spreads have recovered. Securities with lower credit ratings still have room for further price improvement. The Fed actions also sparked a record amount of debt issuance. Treasuries, MBS and investment grade corporate bonds are all on course to see record issuance volumes in 2020. Over $1.2 trillion corporate bonds were issued in the first half, matching the previous full year record set in 2017.
Municipal market momentum also stalled in mid-August and September after a historic comeback in the prior three months. The market movement of early summer fully offset the historic and sudden dislocation of early Spring for all but lowest quality credits. The AAA municipal bond yield curve from 10 to 30 years ended September just 29 to 35 percentage points above all-time lows set in early August. After sluggish issuance in March and April, YTD municipal issuance now totals the highest on record for the first nine months of any year. Taxable municipal bonds were responsible for this surge and lead all major fixed income sectors in YTD returns on 9/30/20.
Our Strategy
The near-term outlook is clouded by the upcoming elections. The 2016 election is a reminder to place post-election market moves in context. That may be especially relevant this year given the potential for a delayed result. Additional stimulus talks remain fluid. Even more fiscal support will only enhance the recovery’s prospects. The Democratic agenda entails approximately $7.2 trillion in new spending over ten years, offset by $3.9 trillion from higher taxes and other revenue. The added growth would likely come at the expense of a higher federal debt burden and uncertain tax effects.
Uncertainty will dissipate after the election season and set the stage for higher risky asset prices and bond yields. The Sit Quality Income Fund is investing in bonds benefitting from the Fed’s bond purchase programs. Such securities include investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. Furthermore, we are looking to take advantage of any near-term weakness in bonds as our longer-term view is for improved economic activity in 2021. The Fund will also be positioned defensively against a potentially higher than expected increase in inflation. Within the Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund we continue to position the Fund defensively against global concerns of the COVID-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.
We suggest that this is an attractive time to add to municipal portfolios. Municipal bonds are relatively cheap among fixed income sectors. On September 30, the 10-year municipal bond yield closed at 128% of the 10-year Treasury yield vs. an average of 86.2% since 1985. Furthermore, the potential for hikes in income tax rates as well as another stimulus package providing major budgetary relief for states offers a highly appealing dynamic for tax exempt bonds heading into 2021.
We remain optimistic about the long-term prospects for the U.S. economy but acknowledge that challenging times are faced in the near to intermediate term. Despite the extraordinary measures taken, credit rating downgrades have begun, and more are coming. We believe that active investment management can excel in this environment. Our income orientation and positioning in defensive sectors should differentiate our performance. The nation and the markets have experienced unprecedented shocks over the last six months. There have been tragic and painful experiences that we hope and expect our nation will draw wisdom from and eventually move past.
We appreciate your continued interest in the Sit family of funds.
With best wishes,

Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class S and Class Y |
OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
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 +0.66% during the 6-month period ending September 30, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index of +0.75%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.04% and its 12-month distribution rate was 1.68%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
During the 6-month period, the Fund benefited from the consistent relatively high level of income provided by its holdings in higher coupon government agency mortgages. U.S. Treasury securities steepened with longer maturities increasing in yield and shorter maturity securities decreasing in yield. The Fund typically performs well as shorter maturities decrease in yield, however, due to market expectations of future elevated prepayment speeds, prices on mortgage securities underperformed relative to the benchmark. Despite declining mortgage rates, the Fund continues to experience relatively 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 on Treasury securities. The use of futures and options was effective in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value, however, detracted from the return.
Outlook and Positioning
The U.S. economy began to recover from one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression. Consumers spent at a heathy clip as government stimulus payments and vaccine developments contributed to overall consumer confidence. The Federal Reserve continued to buoy the market by keeping the Fed Funds rate below 0.25% and its ongoing asset purchase program. The Federal Reserve continues to buy investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. Despite the support from the Federal Reserve, financial markets are likely to experience elevated levels of volatility in the near term as we await results of vaccine testing, the election, and sustainable improvement in the economy. As a result, we expect increased trading opportunities in the near term. Longer term, we expect yield spreads to continue to narrow as the Federal Reserve continues its purchase program and positive developments in a vaccine for COVID-19 occur.

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 Barclays Intermediate Government 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.

This is the Fund’s primary index.
to extend the buyout timeline for delinquent loans from 4 months to 24 months. This will provide borrowers additional time to cure delinquencies that may have been caused by the COVID-19 virus or any hardships in the past year. As a result, mortgage yield spreads should continue to narrow as any buyouts will be delayed. 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 the COVID-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.

Effective Duration3: | | | 3.0 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.

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 +2.12% during the 6-month period ending September 30, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index of +1.41%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.27% and its 12-month distribution rate was 1.37%.
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 the 6-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, detracted slightly from the return. Corporate securities experienced a positive return for the Fund, as yield spreads for these securities rebounded as the economy began to improve. The Fund’s treasury holdings outperformed the benchmark as the securities held by the Fund were generally inflation protected securities which benefited from higher than expected inflation measures. The Fund’s structured securities, collateralized mortgage obligations and asset-backed securities, outperformed as yield spreads narrowed on these securities as the economy began to stabilize. Agency mortgage-backed securities outperformed due to the strong income advantage. Taxable municipal securities outperformed as the strong income return and narrowing yield spreads contributed positively to the return.
Outlook and Positioning
The U.S. economy began to recover from one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression. Consumers spent at a heathy clip as government stimulus payments and vaccine developments contributed to overall consumer confidence. The Federal Reserve continued to buoy the market by keeping the Fed Funds rate below 0.25% and its ongoing asset purchase program. The Federal Reserve continues to buy investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. Despite the support from the Federal Reserve, financial markets are
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 Barclays 1-3 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.

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.
likely to experience elevated levels of volatility in the near term as we await results of vaccine testing, the election, and sustainable improvement in the economy. As a result, we expect increased trading opportunities in the near term. Longer term, we expect yield spreads to continue to narrow as the Federal Reserve continues its purchase program and positive developments in a vaccine for COVID-19 occur.
We have positioned the Fund opportunistically in terms of credit quality and defensively with respect to an inflationary environment in order 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: | | 2.0 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.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2020 | | 19 |
OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The objective of the Tax-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 such tax-exempt municipal securities.
Fund Performance
The Sit Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +3.93% during the 6-month period ending September 30, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index of +4.58%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.22%, and its 12-month distribution rate was 2.92%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
The tax-exempt yield curve steepened during the period, as yields on shorter bonds decreased dramatically, and yields on longer bonds also decreased, but to a lesser extent. Specifically, short-term yields decreased by nearly 100 basis points, while intermediate and long-term yields decreased approximately 40-50 basis points. Tax-exempt fund flows were negative throughout most of April and early May, before turning positive for the rest of the period. Municipal issuance more than recovered from the sharp dropoff in March and April, although a meaningful percentage of approximately 30% this year has been taxable. Credit spreads widened during the first 1-2 months of the period, as investors struggled to assess the pandemic’s effects on the municipal market. Subsequently, credit spreads began to tighten due the resumption of positive fund flows and the extraordinary fiscal and monetary stimulus provided by the U.S. Government and U.S. Federal Reserve, respectively.
The Fund benefited from its longer than benchmark duration, as the Fund’s longer duration bonds contributed favorably to performance during the six-month period. The Fund’s meaningful allocation to BBB-rated and non-rated bonds was also positive as credit spreads began to tighten, boosting prices. Both of these factors led the Fund to benefit from positions in other revenue bonds, closed-end funds, general obligation bonds, and education/student loan revenue bonds. Conversely, the Fund’s significant weightings in multi-family mortgage revenue bonds and single-family mortgage revenue bonds lagged the benchmark.
Outlook and Positioning
The pandemic related economic slowdown’s impact on state and local government budgets remains a concern for investors. While it is too early to accurately predict the magnitude, it is reasonable to say that municipalities will likely feel the effects through at least FY22. While
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 Barclays 5-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 Barclays 5-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-term tax-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.
we expect to see an increase in downgrades, the outlook for municipals remains positive. If state and local governments do not receive significant help from the federal government, they will either have to cut expenses, raise taxes, or both. If they raise taxes, it could increase the attractiveness of tax-exempt bonds.
The Fund continues to emphasize income as the primary driver of return over the long-run and maintains a significant yield advantage over the benchmark in this regard. The Fund’s longer than benchmark duration, significant weighting to housing issues, and meaningful position in non-rated credits contribute to this income advantage. The Fund remains diversified on both an issuer and a geographic basis to manage credit risk and we believe the Fund is positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns in the future.

Effective Duration3: | | 5.6 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 Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund |
OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY
The investment objective of the Minnesota Tax-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.

The Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +4.05% during the six months ending September 30, 2020, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index of +4.58%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.95%, and its 12-month distribution rate was 2.87%.
Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance
The tax-exempt yield curve steepened during the period, as yields on shorter bonds decreased dramatically, and yields on longer bonds also decreased, but to a lesser extent. Specifically, short-term yields decreased by nearly 100 basis points, while intermediate and long-term yields decreased approximately 40-50 basis points. Tax-exempt fund flows were negative throughout most of April and early May, before turning positive for the rest of the period. Municipal issuance more than recovered from the sharp dropoff in March and April, although a meaningful percentage of approximately 30% this year has been taxable. Credit spreads widened during the first 1-2 months of the period, as investors struggled to assess the pandemic’s effects on the municipal market. Subsequently, credit spreads began to tighten due to the resumption of positive fund flows and the extraordinary fiscal and monetary stimulus provided by the U.S. Government and U.S. Federal Reserve, respectively.
The Fund benefited from its longer than benchmark duration, as the Fund’s longer duration bonds contributed favorably to performance during the six-month period. The Fund’s meaningful allocation to BBB-rated and non-rated bonds was also positive as credit spreads began to tighten. Both of these factors led the Fund to benefit from positions in education/student loan revenue bonds, multi-family mortgage revenue bonds, and industrial development revenue/pollution control revenue bonds. Conversely, the Fund’s significant weightings in single-family mortgage revenue bonds and hospital/healthcare revenue bonds lagged the benchmark.
Outlook and Positioning
The pandemic related economic slowdown’s impact on state and local government budgets remains a concern for investors. While it is too early to accurately predict the magnitude, it is reasonable to say that municipalities will likely feel the effects through at least FY22. While we expect to see an increase in downgrades, the outlook for municipals remains positive. If state and local governments do not receive significant help from the federal government, they will either have to cut expenses, raise taxes, or both. If they raise taxes, it could increase the attractiveness of tax-exempt bonds. Minnesota was proactive in cutting spending early in the pandemic in anticipation of losing tax
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 Barclays 5-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.

revenue and increasing expenditures due to the coronavirus and its effects on the state. The impact on Minnesota’s FY20-21 budget has already been substantial, as the state has gone from a projected surplus of $1.3 billion last November to a forecast for a $2.4 billion deficit for the biennium. The state and local governments will face tax and spending decisions, more so if additional federal funding is absent.
The Fund continues to emphasize income as the primary driver of return over the long-run and maintains a significant yield advantage over the benchmark in this regard. The Fund’s longer than benchmark duration, significant weighting to housing issues, and meaningful position in non-rated credits contribute to this income advantage. We are closely monitoring issuer and state-level budget decisions to manage credit risk and believe the Fund is positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns in the future.

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 (Unaudited)
Six Months Ended September 30, 2020
The Sit Mutual Funds (the Funds) are no-load funds, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified (except Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund which is non-diversified), open-end management investment companies, or series thereof. The Sit Quality Income Fund, Sit Tax-Free Income Fund and Minnesota Tax-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. |
Minnesota Tax-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 the over-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 from closed-end fund holdings are included in Dividend Income and distributions from capital gains, if any, are included in Net Realized Gain (Loss).
| | |
60 | | SIT MUTUAL FUNDS SEMI-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 Minnesota Tax-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 six months ended September 30, 2020, the average volume of derivative activity, calculated on a quarterly basis (monthly for U.S. Government Securities Fund), was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Average Cost | | Average Premium Received | | | Average Notional Amount | |
U.S. Government Securities Fund | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchased put options | | | $69,605 | | | | — | | | | $18,187,500 | |
| | | |
Quality Income Fund | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Treasury futures - short | | | — | | | | — | | | | 1,176,292 | |
The number of open option contracts and open futures contracts outstanding as of September 30, 2020 also serve as indicators of the volume of activity for the Funds throughout the period.

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 September 30, 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 September 30, 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.

Net capital loss carryovers and late year losses, if any, as of March 31, 2020, are available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. The Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Capital losses that are carried forward retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. The net capital loss carryovers and the late year losses deferred as of March 31, 2020, were as follows:

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.

The fee for investment management and advisory services is based on the average daily net assets of the Funds at the annual rate of:

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 April 1, 2020 to September 30, 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.
