This annual shareholder report contains important information about Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund for the period of April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026. You can find additional information about the Fund at www.sitfunds.com/documents. You can also request this information by contacting us at 1-800-332-5580

How did the Fund perform in the past 12 months and what affected its performance?

For the 12-month period ended March 31, 2026, the Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund - Class S  returned +4.16%, outperforming the Bloomberg Intermediate Government Bond Index's return of +3.98%. The Federal Reserve reduced short-term interest rates by 0.75%, which caused the yield curve to steepen. The Fund benefited from the consistent relatively high level of income provided by its holdings in higher coupon government agency mortgages. The Fund reduces interest rate risk by using options on Treasury securities. The use of options was effective in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value but detracted from overall performance. The Fund continued to experience relatively stable prepayment rates as the mortgage holdings are generally well seasoned and have been through many refinancing cycles.

Effective DurationFootnote Reference1

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.

Organization

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).

 

      
40    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 year ended March 31, 2026, the average volume of derivative activity, calculated on a quarterly basis, was as follows:

Fair Value Measurements

The inputs and valuation techniques used to measure fair value of the Funds’ net assets are summarized into three levels as described in the hierarchy below:

• Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical securities. An active market for the security is a market in which transactions occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. A quoted price in an active market provides the most reliable evidence of fair value.

• Level 2 – debt securities are valued based on evaluated prices received from independent pricing services or from dealers who make markets in such securities. For corporate bonds, U.S. government and government agency obligations, and municipal securities the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. For asset-backed securities and mortgage-backed securities, the pricing services utilize matrix pricing which considers prepayment speed assumptions, attributes of the collateral, yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type as well as dealer supplied prices. All of these inputs are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. An adjustment to any observable input that is significant to the fair value may render the measurement a Level 3 measurement.

• Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs, including the Adviser’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities.

At the end of each calendar quarter, management evaluates the Level 2 and 3 assets and liabilities for changes in liquidity, including but not limited to: whether a broker is willing to execute at the quoted price, the depth and consistency of prices from third party services, and the existence of contemporaneous, observable trades in the market. Additionally, management evaluates the Level 1 and 2 assets and liabilities on a quarterly basis for changes in listings or delistings on national exchanges. Due to the inherent uncertainty of determining the fair value of investments that do not have a readily available market value, the fair value of the Funds’ investments may fluctuate from period to period. Additionally, the fair value of investments may differ significantly from the values that would have been used had a ready market existed for such investments and may differ materially from the values the Fund may ultimately realize. Further, such investments may be subject to legal and other restrictions on resale or otherwise are less liquid than publicly traded securities.

A summary of the levels for the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2026 is included with the Funds’ schedules of investments.

 

      
42    FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND OTHER INFORMATION


 

 

 

Federal Taxes

The Funds’ policy is to continue 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, 2026, 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, 2026, the gross unrealized appreciation (depreciation) on investments and cost of investments on a tax basis for federal income tax purposes were as follows:

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.

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.

Cash Balance Credit Risk

The Funds may place portions of its uninvested cash with financial institutions in the United States, which are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FIDC”) up to $250,000 for each account holder. The Funds may be subject to credit risk to the extent amounts on deposit are in excess of the insured limits.

Segment Reporting

The Funds represent a single operating segment. Subject to the oversight and, when applicable, approval of the Board of Trustees, the Chief Executive Officer of the Adviser (“CEO”) acts as the Funds’ chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), assessing performance and making decisions about resource allocation within the Funds. The CODM monitors the operating results as a whole, and the Funds’ long-term strategic asset allocation is determined in accordance with the terms of its prospectus based on a defined investment strategy. The financial information provided to and reviewed by the CODM is consistent with that presented in the Funds’ financial statements.

Recent Accounting Pronouncement

In December 2023, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2023-09, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures. The ASU requires public entities, on an annual basis, to provide income tax disclosures, including income taxes paid dis-aggregated by jurisdiction. This ASU also includes certain other amendments to improve the effectiveness of income tax disclosures. The ASU is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Management has determined that there is no impact of the ASU on the Fund’s financial statements.

To the Shareholders and Board of Directors

   Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc.

   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, 2026, 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 or periods 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, 2026, 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 or periods 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 Funds 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, 2026, by correspondence with custodians, transfer agents and brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures when replies were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Item 11:

Statement Regarding Basis for Approval of Investment Advisory Contract.

During the Registrant’s most recent fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, the Boards of Directors approved the renewal of the investment management agreements with the Sit Mutual Funds. Below is the Boards’ discussion at the October 28, 2025 board meeting of the material factors and conclusions that formed the basis for the board’s approval.

BOARD RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At their joint meeting held on October 28, 2025, the Boards of Directors (the “Boards”) of the Sit Tax-Free Income Fund, Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund, Sit Quality Income Fund and Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “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 each of Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc., dated November 1, 1992; and Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc., dated November 1, 1992 (collectively, the “Agreements”).

In advance of the October 28, 2025 meeting, the Boards requested and received materials from SIA to assist them in considering the re-approval of the Agreements. The Boards, including all of the Directors who are not “interested persons” (as such term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”)) of the Funds (the “non-interested Directors”) approved the Agreements after discussion and consideration of various factors relating to both the Boards’ selection of SIA as the Funds’ investment adviser and the Boards’ approval of the fees to be paid under the Agreements. In evaluating the Agreements, the Directors relied upon their knowledge, resulting from their


meetings and other interactions throughout the year, of SIA and its services and personnel. The Directors did not consider any single factor as controlling in determining whether to approve the Agreements, and the items described herein are not all-encompassing of the matters considered by the Directors.

Investment Adviser Criteria. The Directors began their analysis by discussing their criteria for determining the quality of an investment adviser. In this regard, the Directors noted that their criteria were similar to those used by institutional investors in evaluating and selecting investment advisers. The Directors discussed several factors in assessing the nature, extent and quality of the services performed by SIA, including the following:

Investment Philosophy and Process. The Directors considered SIA’s philosophy around managing assets. With respect to fixed income securities, the Directors noted that SIA stresses the consistent attainment of superior risk-adjusted returns using a conservative investment management approach that seeks to identify pricing anomalies in the market and manage portfolio duration.

With respect to fixed income securities, the Directors considered that SIA seeks securities with a special emphasis on interest income and significant stability of principal value. They noted that SIA’s investment style seeks to avoid excessive return volatility and generate consistent results for the Funds over an economic cycle. The Directors also noted that a component of each Fund’s objective is to seek high current income. The Directors reviewed each Fund’s portfolio characteristics and noted that SIA has consistently managed each Fund in accordance with its investment objective. The Directors noted that, because the Funds emphasize interest income, they may at times not rank highly in total return compared to funds that pursue different investment objectives.

The Directors discussed SIA’s consistent and well-defined investment process. With respect to fixed income securities, the Directors considered that the SIA’s 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, noting that SIA has over 35 investment professionals. Given the investment products offered by SIA and SIA’s amount of 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 its number of clients and assets under management for the near future. The Directors concluded that the depth of SIA’s investment staff, and in particular senior management and investment analysts, exceeds the Funds’ current requirement at their present asset size. The Directors noted that SIA has the resources of an investment firm with over $18 billion in assets under management working for the benefit of the Funds’ shareholders. The Directors concluded that SIA has substantial resources to provide services to the Funds and that SIA’s services had been acceptable.

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 and commitment to operate under the highest ethical and professional standards. They considered that SIA’s culture is set and practiced by senior management of SIA who insist that all SIA professionals exhibit honesty and integrity. The Directors noted that SIA’s values are evident in the services it provides to the Funds.


Review of Specific Factors. The Directors continued their analysis by reviewing specific information regarding SIA and the Funds, and the specific terms of the Agreements, including the following:

Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed the investment performance of each Fund for the 3-month, 1-year, and 5-year periods ended September 30, 2025, 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 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 for supervisory and administrative fees paid to SIA pursuant to Supervision and Administration Agreements, interest, brokerage commissions, portfolio transaction charges (including acquired fund fees and expenses) and certain extraordinary expenses. The Directors considered fees paid in prior years and the fees to be paid under the Agreements and Supervision and Administration Agreements, including both before and after fee waivers with respect to Sit Quality Income Fund.

The Directors compared each Fund’s expense ratio to (i) the average and median expense ratios of no-load mutual funds within the same Morningstar, Inc. (“Morningstar”) investment category, (ii) the average expense ratio for load funds within the Fund’s Morningstar category, and (iii) the average expense ratio for all funds within the Fund’s Morningstar category. The Directors also compared each Fund’s management fees to (i) the average and median actual management fees of no-load mutual funds within the same Morningstar investment category, (ii) the average actual management fees for load funds within the Fund’s Morningstar category, and (iii) the average actual management fees for all funds within the Fund’s Morningstar category. Generally, the Funds’ expense ratios were higher than or approximated the averages of the applicable category. 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 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, a graduated fee structure for each Fund was unnecessary at the time because the fees to be paid under the current Agreements were 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 its management of the Funds for the past two calendar years. The Directors concluded that the expenses paid were appropriate and that SIA’s profit margin with respect to the management of the Funds was acceptable.

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 its affiliates and recognized that the Funds’ expenses are borne by SIA, except as noted above. The Directors concluded that the fees paid by the Funds in relation to the fees paid by other clients of SIA and its affiliates were appropriate and reasonable.

The Directors discussed the extent to which SIA receives ancillary benefits from its 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 Boards concluded that any benefits SIA receives from its relationship with the Funds are well within industry norms, 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), including services provided pursuant to the Supervision and Administration Agreements applicable to the Funds, and the quality and depth of SIA’s non-investment personnel who provide such services. The Directors concluded that the level of such services and the quality and depth of such personnel are acceptable and 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 acceptable and consistent with industry standards.

Based on these conclusions, without any single conclusion being dispositive, the Directors, including the non-interested Directors by separate vote, determined that renewal of the Agreements was in the interest of each Fund and its shareholders.
