The line graph above shows the value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 fiscal years (or since inception if shorter). The graph and table above are total returns, which assume the reinvestment of dividends and capital gains, if any. Neither the Fund’s returns nor the index returns reflect the deduction of taxes a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares. The Fund’s past performance is not a good predictor of the Fund’s future performance. Updated performance information is available at www.sitfunds.com/documents.
Effective with this report, and pursuant to new regulatory requirements, the Bloomberg U.S. Aggregate Bond Index replaced the Bloomberg Intermediate Government Bond Index as the Fund's primary benchmark to represent a broad-based securities market index. The Fund continues to use the Bloomberg Intermediate Government Bond Index as an additional benchmark.
What did the Fund invest in?
The Fund exclusively invested in U.S. government securities, focusing on high current income relative to market yields. The tables reflect the investment makeup of the Fund as of September 30, 2024. Portfolio holdings are subject to change.

Average Maturity | 23.9 Years |
Effective DurationFootnote Reference1 | 3.6 Years |
Footnote | Description |
Footnote1 | 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 Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (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. |

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 Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (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, 2024
The Sit Mutual Funds covered by this report are Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Sit Quality Income Fund, Sit Tax-Free Income Fund and Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”). The Funds are no-load funds, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (as amended) as diversified (except Sit 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 Sit 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 Sit 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 current income and safety of principal. |
Quality Income Fund | | High current income and safety of principal. |
Tax-Free Income Fund | | High current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital. |
Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund | | High 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, Quality Income Fund and Tax-Free Income 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” or “SIA”) 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. Amortization of long-term bond premium and discount is calculated using the effective interest rate method. 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).
| | |
| | |
| |
44 | | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION |
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, 2024, the average volume of derivative activity, calculated on a quarterly basis, was as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Average Cost | | | Average Premium Received | | | Average Notional Amount | |
U.S. Government Securities Fund | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Purchased put options | | | $427,516 | | | | $248,336 | | | | $58,571,167 | |

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.
| | |
| | |
| |
46 | | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION |
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, 2024 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, 2024, 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 September 30, 2024, 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 Fund - Investments | | | $1,601,678 | | | | ($10,209,418) | | | | ($8,607,740) | | | | $236,061,944 | |
Quality Income Fund - Investments | | | 1,838,267 | | | | (888,709) | | | | 949,558 | | | | 122,125,687 | |
Tax-Free Income Fund - Investments | | | 2,437,039 | | | | (33,641,627) | | | | (31,204,588) | | | | 174,985,544 | |

Net investment income and net realized gains (losses) may differ for financial statement and tax purposes. The character of distributions made during the year from net investment income or net realized gains (losses) may also differ from its ultimate characterization for tax purposes. The tax character of distributions paid during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 was as follows:

48 | | FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION |
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 liability 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.

Investment Adviser
The Funds each have entered into an investment management agreement with Sit Investment Associates Inc., under which SIA manages the Funds’ assets and provides research, statistical and advisory services, and pays related office rental, executive expenses and executive salaries.
