CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

May 5, 2021

Dear fellow shareholders:

It is hard to imagine just over a year ago that the world would experience the worst pandemic in over a century causing global economies to shut down. Challenges that investors felt were insurmountable a year ago became trivial in comparison to the pandemic. The year 2020 will go down in history as one that the world would prefer to forget.

The total number of cases of the COVID-19 virus were approximately 130 million at the end of March 2021, and 2.8 million of those cases proved to be fatal. All hope was not lost as the world came together against a common enemy, the COVID-19 virus. Companies scrambled to be the first to produce lifesaving vaccines, but in the interim, the world had to learn several new phrases such as “social distance” and “flatten the curve.” Most underestimated how quickly this virus could spread, which led to waves of infections from one country to the next. Countries tried to learn from one another by imposing closures policies and strict mask mandates, which created a “playbook” to combat the deadly virus. Each month that passed, the vaccine developments and trials provided glimmers of hope that normalcy could return in the not-too-distant future.

Investors paid close attention to vaccine developments in the later part of the year. As one could expect, market volatility during that time increased significantly, but positive developments outweighed the negative. Preliminary results of vaccine trials surpassed all expectations with efficacy in the 90-95% range. It was a remarkable feat to accomplish, not only the efficacy but the time in which it was done. The first vaccination in the U.S. occurred in December of 2020, which was within a year of when COVID-19 first gained a foothold domestically. The ramp up in vaccination production as well as the roll-out to the population have been intensely scrutinized and grossly underestimated. At first, governments scrambled to secure doses of the vaccines, but then had to turn their focus on who should get doses first. First responders, elderly, and those with pre-existing conditions saw first doses of vaccines when they were in short supply. Governments then began scaling back by age tier, but soon opened the vaccine to age groups where cases were increasing the most. Future growth in the economy will be dictated by vaccine distribution and the pace at which people are vaccinated.

The U.S. economy was solid prior to the pandemic, only to experience the worst quarter-over-quarter contraction in history. Unemployment rates went from a 50-year low of 3.5% in February 2020 to 14.8% by April 2020, resulting in quarterly GDP contracting -31.4% in the second quarter. What tailwinds that existed from the low unemployment rates, and the U.S. and China trade deals, were all overwhelmed by the headwinds of the response to the COVID-19 virus and staggeringly high unemployment rates. As a result, the U.S. government scrambled to provide stimulus checks to the population to assist in these perilous times. As states began to flatten the curve, re-openings of businesses sparked the largest quarterly economic rebound in history. Quarterly GDP growth reached +33.4% in the third quarter of 2020. Despite the strong rebound, the U.S. economy had still contracted -3.5% for all of 2020. Forecasts for 2021 look

much more promising as economists expect yearly GDP growth to exceed 6%.

Do Whatever it Takes

The Federal Reserve (Fed) had its hands full during the year. The Fed did an about face regarding most of its policies. Conversations of how to taper purchase programs and increase the Fed Funds rate quickly turned to how to expand purchase programs and cut the Fed Funds rate. The Fed Funds rate reached a high of 2.50% in 2019 only to be slashed to 0 - 0.25% by March of 2020. The Fed not only expanded its existing purchase program of mortgage and treasury securities, but added programs allowing it to buy corporate, municipal, and commercial mortgage-backed securities and more. Several of these programs have ceased over the year due to stabilization in the economy, however, the Fed continues to buy $120 billion per month; $80 billion of Treasury securities and $40 billion of agency mortgage-backed securities. The Fed’s balance sheet has ballooned to previously unimaginable heights reaching $7.1 trillion by the end of March 2021. The “do whatever it takes” approach provided stability to reeling financial markets, creating one of the largest risk-on environments investors have ever seen.

However, doing whatever it takes to stabilize markets comes at a cost. The Fed announced in late August 2020 that it would allow inflation to run above its longstanding 2.00% target. The widely criticized “dot plots” of Fed members projects short rates near zero until at least 2023, which adds fuel to the inflation expectations fire. The lack of global travel and countries shutting down their borders made it increasingly difficult to get goods. Many ports were understaffed leading to delays in delivery times. Some prices skyrocketed as a result. Spiking energy and commodity prices are also putting upward pressure on shipping costs as global supply chains resume after prolonged shutdowns. Trade deficits jumped to record highs in February 2021, as the U.S. economic activity rebounded at a quicker rate than global competitors. These inflationary pressures will continue as economies re-open globally.

Congress also pulled out all the stops as it relates to fiscal policy to stabilize the economy. Throughout the course of the year, the government passed several relief packages aimed to support individuals and businesses across the nation. Many individuals received benefits including extra unemployment compensation for those who lost their jobs, three stimulus checks, and delayed mortgage and student loan repayments, to name a few. States received massive relief payments to help with testing, unemployment benefits and other shortfalls. Large and small companies were able to receive relief payments to improve solvency. The staggering $12.8 trillion total relief payments to date has contributed to the much-improved intermediate economic outlook.

It has been a wild ride for U.S. treasury yields as well. Yields declined sharply due to an initial flight to quality from stocks to Treasury bonds, but then, as liquidity dried up, investors began selling whatever they could, including treasury bonds. Massive open-end and ETF outflows exacerbated the already stressed marketplace. As the



2			SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

Fed and U.S. government took measures to stabilize the economy, investors began to feel much more confident and went from flight-to-cash environment to risk-on environment. Spreads on credit sensitive securities that had massive spikes to levels not seen since 2008 have since reversed to near historic lows. The overall yield curve saw short rates decline due to the Fed Funds rate being anchored in the 0-0.25% range, while intermediate to longer term rates rebounded this year due to strength of the economic recovery and increased inflation expectations.

Strategy

Overall, emotional overreactions caused several dislocations in the market thereby providing intermediate to long-term investment opportunities. We remain optimistic regarding growth prospects as global vaccine distributions accelerate and consumers resume normal activities. In the longer-term, the economy will eventually need to adjust from the removal of historic levels of government deficit spending to an environment of higher taxes, lower fiscal spending, and greater levels of regulation as a result of the new majority held Democratic government. The inevitable slowdown likely to be felt by the economy from disappearing relief payments should help curb inflation concerns. Employment growth will likely slow as head-winds regarding rising minimum wage laws come to fruition.

While the Fed was implementing its purchase programs, the Sit Quality Income Fund invested heavily in securities that would benefit. Such securities include investment grade corporate bonds, money market securities, agency mortgage bonds, asset-backed bonds, and more. As these programs wound down in August, the focus shifted to inflation protected treasury securities to help mitigate price and inflation risk. Furthermore, we are looking to take advantage of any dislocations 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 while maintaining the Fund’s focus on seasoned, high coupon agency mortgage securities which provide a high level of income with relatively stable prices.

Tax-exempt bonds will likely see support in the upcoming year with the prospect of increased taxes. The Biden administration plans to increase corporate tax rates as well as individual tax rates on high income earners. The increase in taxes should continue to push investors to tax-exempt securities. Although spreads on tax-exempt securities could tighten further, we believe most has already occurred. Close attention will be paid on how state and local government finances were impacted during the pandemic, but we believe the long-term prospects look favorable.

In conclusion, investors should maintain a diversified portfolio of stocks and bonds underpinned by strong fundamentals to help manage risk in challenging market conditions. We appreciate your continued interest in the Sit family of funds. Please see our complete Outlook and Strategy research paper at www.sitfunds.com.

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 +0.44% during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2021, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index of -1.20%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.82% and its 12-month distribution rate was 1.24%.

Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance

During the 12-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 intermediate to longer maturities increasing in yield and shorter maturity securities decreasing in yield. The Fund performed well in this environment as the income more than offset the negative price performance. In addition, the Fund continued 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 and contributed positively to the return.

Outlook and Positioning

The year began with one of the worst economic downturns since the Great Depression due to widespread infections of the COVID-19 virus. Over the course of the year, the U.S. had to endure several waves of increasing infections in different states across the nation. During that time, companies were scrambling to create a safe and effective vaccine to combat the virus. As positive developments regarding these vaccines occurred, consumers continued to spend at a healthy clip as overall confidence began to turn positively. Several consumers received three different stimulus checks throughout the year for assistance during these unprecedented times. The Federal Reserve continued to buoy the market by keeping the Fed Funds rate at 0-0.25% and its ongoing asset purchase program. The Federal Reserve concluded its purchase program of investment grade corporate bonds but continues its purchases of mortgage and treasury securities. Investors will be watching inflation closely as expectations have risen to levels not seen since 2018. Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac announced

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.

¹ The Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index is a sub-index of the Bloomberg Barclays Government Bond Index covering issues with remaining maturities of between three and five years. The Bloomberg Barclays Government Bond Index is an index that measures the performance of all public U.S. government obligations with remaining maturities of one year or more. 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.

a joint policy adjustment to extend the buyout timeline for delinquent loans from 4 months to 24 months to allow additional time for borrowers to cure delinquencies. As a result, we expect mortgage yield spreads to continue to narrow as any buyouts will be delayed and investors continue to be starved for yield. 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 opportunistically as concerns regarding COVID-19 virus wane 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:		1.9 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 Quality Income Fund

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 +3.32% during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2021, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index of +1.57%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.32% and its 12-month distribution rate was 1.05%.

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 12-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 and contributed positively to 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 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 underperformed due to the income advantage not being enough to offset the weaker price performance relative to the index. Taxable municipal securities outperformed as the strong income return and narrowing yield spreads contributed positively to the return.

Outlook and Positioning

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

LOGO

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.

1 The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3Year 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.

received three different stimulus checks throughout the year for assistance during these unprecedented times. The Federal Reserve continued to buoy the market by keeping the Fed Funds rate at 0-0.25% and its ongoing asset purchase program. The Federal Reserve concluded its purchase program of investment grade corporate bonds but continues its purchases of mortgage and treasury securities. Investors will be watching inflation closely as expectations have risen to levels not seen since 2018.

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.

Performance figures are historical and do not guarantee future results. Investment returns and principal value will vary, and you may have a gain or loss when you sell shares. Current performance may be lower or higher than the performance data quoted. Contact the Fund for performance data current to the most recent month-end. Returns include changes in share price as well as reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains and all fee waivers. Without the fee waivers total return and yield figures would have been lower. Returns do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. Management fees and administrative expenses are included in the Fund’s performance. Returns for the periods greater than one year are compounded average annual rates of return.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY


Net Asset Value 3/31/21:		$10.04 Per Share
Net Asset Value 3/31/20:		$9.82 Per Share
Total Net Assets:		$108.8 Million
Average Maturity:		9.8 Years
Effective Duration³:		1.2 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 Tax-Free Income Fund

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 +6.73% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, versus a return of +5.07% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.90%, compared to the yield of 0.67% for the benchmark index. The Fund’s 12-month distribution rate was 2.93%.

Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance

The tax-exempt yield curve shifted lower and steepened during the past year with short yields falling the most. Yields for short maturities fell approximately 60-90 basis points from COVID-19 crisis levels at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, yields for intermediate to long maturities fell to historic lows in August before bouncing up to end the year down 20-25 basis points. Tax-exempt fund flows provided exceptionally strong support for the municipal market throughout much of the period. Outflows triggered by the crisis reversed in the second quarter of 2020 and net positive inflows exceeded $77B for the fiscal year. Municipal issuance for the fiscal year was about $450B, which slightly exceeded the prior fiscal year yet was easily absorbed by the market. Credit spreads for tax-exempt bonds were largely unchanged for the year for AA-rated and A-rated credits. BBB-rated spreads, which had widened in response to the pandemic leading into the fiscal year, narrowed somewhat.

The Fund benefited from a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year, as longer bonds significantly outperformed shorter bonds. In terms of quality, performance was directly correlated with credit risk as BBB-rated bonds were the best performing part of the index and AAA-rated bonds the worst. The Fund’s exposure to BBB-rated bonds as well as significant allocation to below investment grade and non-rated bonds were the biggest reasons the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the year. As such, the Fund benefited from holdings in multi-family mortgage revenue bonds, education/student loan revenue bonds, other revenue bonds and closed-end funds. Conversely, the Fund’s significant weighting in single-family mortgage revenue bonds lagged the benchmark.

Outlook and Positioning

The economic impact of the pandemic remains a concern for investors, but state and local governments have already received significant assistance from the federal government with more to come in

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

LOGO

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.

the form of the American Rescue Plan, which was enacted on March 11, 2021.

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 40% of Fund assets, and continue to present an attractive relative value. Similarly, over 20% of the Fund remains invested in non-rated bonds which provide an attractive income advantage. We will add to higher coupon bonds when available and continue to focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, which we expect to be limited in the current environment. The Fund remains diversified on a geographic and issuer basis to mitigate credit and liquidity risk, and we believe the Fund is well-positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

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.

Fund Performance

The Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +5.94% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2021, versus a return of +5.07% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 5-year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2021, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 1.81%, compared to the yield of 0.67% for the benchmark index. The Fund’s

12-month distribution rate was 2.83%.

Factors that Influenced the Fund’s Performance

The tax-exempt yield curve shifted lower and steepened during the past year with short yields falling the most. Yields for short maturities fell approximately 60-90 basis points from COVID-19 crisis levels at the beginning of the year. Meanwhile, yields for intermediate to long maturities fell to historic lows in August before bouncing up to end the year down 20-25 basis points. Tax-exempt fund flows provided exceptionally strong support for the municipal market throughout much of the period. Municipal issuance for the fiscal year was about $450B, which slightly exceeded the prior fiscal year yet was easily absorbed by the market. In comparison, Minnesota issuance declined more than 17% from the prior year, providing solid technical support. Credit spreads for tax-exempt bonds were largely unchanged for the year for AA-rated and A-rated credits. BBB-rated spreads, which had widened in response to the pandemic leading into the fiscal year, narrowed somewhat.

Minnesota’s budget and economic outlook have improved since the onset of the COVID-19 crisis. The latest forecast for the FY2020-21 biennium showed a projected surplus of $940 million. In addition, state economists now project a surplus of $1.6 billion for the next two-year budget. Minnesota’s unemployment rate of 4.3% compares favorably to the 6.2% national rate as of February 2021 and the state’s general obligation bond rating remains at AAA by Standard & Poor’s Corp. and Aa1 by Moody’s.

The Fund benefited from a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year, as longer bonds significantly outperformed shorter bonds. In terms of quality, performance was directly correlated with credit risk as BBB-rated bonds were the best performing part of the index and AAA-rated bonds the worst. The Fund’s exposure to BBB-rated bonds as well as significant allocation to below investment grade and non-rated bonds were the biggest reasons the Fund outperformed its benchmark for the year. As such, the Fund benefited from holdings in multi-family mortgage revenue bonds and education/student loan revenue bonds. Conversely, the Fund’s significant weighting in single-family mortgage revenue bonds lagged the benchmark.

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

LOGO

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.

Outlook and Positioning

The economic impact of the pandemic remains a concern for investors, but Minnesota and its local governments have already received significant assistance from the federal government. In addition, Minnesota governments and programs are slated to receive almost $8 billion from the American Rescue Plan, which was enacted on March 11, 2021.

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 in non-rated bonds which provide an attractive income advantage. We will add to higher coupon bonds when available and continue to focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise, which we expect to be limited in the current environment. We believe the Fund is well-positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Year Ended March 31, 2021

(1)

Organization

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 offers 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 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 year ended March 31, 2021, 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	$	89,790		—	$	10,772,327
Written call options		—	$	43,690		12,575,000

Quality Income Fund
Written call options		—		17,390		3,136,900
Treasury futures - short		—		—		12,059,486

The number of open option contracts and open futures contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2021 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.



62			SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

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, 2021 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, 2021, 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.

At March 31, 2021, the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and cost of investments on a tax basis for federal income tax purposes were as follows:


	Unrealized Appreciation		Unrealized Depreciation			Net Unrealized Appreciation (Depreciation)		Cost (Proceeds) of Investments on a Tax Basis
U.S. Government Securities - Investments		$14,872,962		($3,323,859	)		$11,549,103		$521,055,026

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, Sit Tax-Free Income Fund, and Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund (each a series of Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc.) (collectively, the Funds), including the schedules of investments, as of March 31, 2021, 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, 2021, 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, 2021, by correspondence with custodians and brokers.

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, 2020 to March 31, 2021.

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.


	Beginning Account Value (10/1/20)		Ending Account Value (3/31/21)		Expenses Paid During Period (10/1/20- 3/31/21)*

*Expenses are equal to the Funds’ annualized expense ratio of 0.80% for the U.S. Government Securities, Class S, Tax-Free Income and Minnesota Tax-Free Funds; 0.55% for the U.S. Government Securities, Class Y; and 0.90% for the Quality Income Fund, multiplied by the average account value over the period, multiplied by 182/365 (to reflect the one-half year period.)

STATEMENT REGARDING LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM

The Securities and Exchange Commission adopted Rule 22e-4 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Liquidity Rule”) to promote effective liquidity risk management throughout the open-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 19, 2020, 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, 2020 (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 an open-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 an in-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.

RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At their joint meeting held on October 19, 2020, the Boards of Directors of the Sit Mutual Funds unanimously approved the continuation for another one year period of 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 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 $14.9 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.

MARCH 31, 2021

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

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 of no-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 Morningstar no-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 other no-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 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 of non-advisory services which SIA provides to the Funds (and their shareholders) and the quality and depth of SIA’s non-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.

Audit fees include amounts related to the audit of the registrant’s annual financial statements and services normally provided by the accountant in connection with statutory and regulatory filings. Audit-related fees include amounts reasonably related to the performance of the audit of the registrant’s financial statements, and/or are traditionally performed by the auditor. Tax fees include amounts related to tax compliance, tax planning, and tax advice.

(e) (1) The Audit Committee is required to pre-approve audit and non-audit services performed for the registrant by the independent auditor in order to assure that the provision of such services does not impair the auditor’s independence. The audit committee also is required to pre-approve certain non-audit services performed by the registrant’s independent auditor for the registrant’s investment adviser and certain of the adviser’s affiliates if the services relate directly to the operations and financial reporting of the registrant. Services to be provided by the auditor must receive general pre-approval or specific pre-approval by the audit committee. Any proposed services exceeding pre-approved cost levels will require separate pre-approval by the audit committee.

The audit committee may delegate pre-approval authority to the audit committee chairman. The chairman shall report any pre-approval decisions to the audit committee at its next scheduled meeting. The audit committee does not delegate its responsibility to pre-approve services performed by the independent auditor to management.

(2) No services included in (b) – (d) were approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(i)(C) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X.

(f) Not applicable.

(g) The aggregate fees billed for the most recent fiscal year and the preceding fiscal year by the registrant’s principal accountant for non-audit services rendered to the registrant, its investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant were $0 and $0 respectively.

(h) The registrant’s audit committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services rendered to the registrant’s investment adviser, and any entity controlling, controlled by, or under common control with the investment adviser that provides ongoing services to the registrant, that were not pre-approved pursuant to paragraph (c)(7)(ii) of Rule 2-01 of Regulation S-X is considered compatible with maintaining the principal accountant’s independence.
