CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

May 3, 2019

Dear fellow shareholders:

The story of U.S. fixed income markets over the last twelve months can be divided into two chapters. The first chapter is dominated by a hawkish Federal Reserve methodically raising the Fed Funds Rate every quarter into December 2018. The second followed the dramatic dovish pivot by the Fed in early January and the vigorous bond market rally that ensued. The fiscal year ended with a much publicized, albeit brief, inversion of the Treasury yield curve between 3-month bill rates and 10-year bonds.

The Fed drove short-term rates steadily higher throughout 2018, which flattened the yield curve as longer-term rates did not rise proportionately. The Fed pivoted in early 2019 and long rates dropped sharply. The 3-month T-bill rate was at 1.73% at the end of March 2018 and closed at 2.40% a year later, up 67 basis points. Yields on the 10-year Treasury went on a roller coaster ride, from 2.74% at the end of March 2018 to as high as 3.24% on November 8^th (highest since May 2011), collapsing to 2.39% by March 28, 2019 (lowest since December 2017). This net decline of 35 basis points over the year ending 3/31/19 caused the yield curve to pancake. Indeed, a notable inversion occurred for five days in late March 2019 in the closely watched 3-month/10-year “economists’ curve.” Yields on the 3-monthT-bill were slightly higher (up to 5 bps) than those for the 10-year bond. The 30-year Treasury yield was not quite as volatile over the 12 months. It started at 2.97%, peaked at 3.46% on November 2^nd, before settling at the end of March 2019 at a 12-month low of 2.81%, not far from where it was 12 months ago.

Federal Reserve Drive to Normalization Stalls

Jerome Powell assumed the Chair of the Federal Reserve in February 2018 in the midst of a momentous Fed campaign to normalize monetary policy that had been formulated under his two predecessors. In December 2013, the Fed had finally begun “tapering” (reducing) Quantitative Easing (QE) – a ground-breaking shock treatment program of asset purchases started in 2007 to combat the Great Recession. All QE new purchases were ended by December 2014, topping the Fed balance sheet off at $4.5 trillion (up from $807 billion as of August 2007). Next, in December 2015, the Fed raised the Fed Funds Rate for the first time since June 2006, to a target of 0.25% - 0.50%. The Fed Funds Rate had been effectively held at zero since December 2008. The Fed waited another year before raising rates again. Then in March 2017, the Fed launched a series of regular quarterly rate hikes of 0.25%. By December 2018, it had implemented 7 hikes, bringing the Fed Funds rate up to the current 2.25% - 2.50% level. Meanwhile, in October 2017 the Fed began quantitative tightening - reducing the size of its balance sheet by gradually curtailing reinvestment of cash flows from its portfolio. The full ramp-up of balance sheet reduction to $50 billion per month was attained in October 2018. Notably, the Fed was the only major central bank shrinking its portfolio.

Shift to Patience

Pursuing the path to normalization has been an evolving process for Chairman Powell. In early October 2018, he stated that the Fed was a “long way” from neutral, which precipitated a stock market

sell-off. In November, the position was softened to “just below neutral.” In mid-December 2018, most Fed Governors still believed that two more interest rate increases were likely. In December, a comment that balance sheet reduction was on “auto-pilot” caused a steep stock market swoon. Meanwhile, a flurry of weak economic reports came forth around the time of the December 19^th Fed hike, causing corporate bond spreads to widen sharply. Oil prices tumbled, unemployment claims had a sharp uptick, and retail sales slowed. The stock market had its worst December performance since 1931. Negative market sentiment reached levels not seen since 2008.

A sudden Fed reversal occurred early in January, which some central bank watchers interpreted as a “Powell Put” on the stock market. He stated that the Fed was “listening” to the markets, would be “patient,” and was not on a preset path to raising rates. “The case for raising rates has weakened somewhat,” he added later that month, and the current Fed Funds rate is now in neutral range. In March, the shift to neutral was complete with the announcement that balance sheet reduction would start phasing out in May and stabilize in 4Q19 at $3.5 trillion. Upward pressures on interest rates have been placed on hold, as the Fed waits for direction in future data. The Fed is now in a “no win” predicament at this late stage of the economic expansion, as uncertainty is high, and clarity in the outlook is low.

The Fed has also begun a listening tour that suggests a review of the dual mandate is underway. “Low inflation is one of the major challenges of our time” Powell declared in March. Since formally adopting a 2% inflation target in 2012, the Fed has not consistently met the target, despite bringing unemployment significantly below previously assumed levels of natural full employment to lows rarely seen in the last 50 years. This economic expansion is very likely to become the longest in U.S. history by this July and could extend well into election year 2020 as long as inflation remains quite mild, and the Fed is so accommodative. Comments from Fed Governors suggest that the Fed may tolerate surges of inflation over 2% for extended periods in the future.

Economic Data Flashing Yellow

The Fed has demonstrably fulfilled its goal of full employment with stable low inflation – a Goldilocks environment. However, the full and longer-term costs of achieving this may become clearer with the benefit of hindsight. Times have changed. Quantitative easing appears likely to have become a permanent weapon in the arsenal of central banks, particularly since over 20% of sovereign debt still bears negative nominal interest rates at time of this writing. Record low interest rates in Europe and Japan exert downward pressure on U.S. interest rates, but their influence is limited by the effects of currency hedging costs. Europe and Japan may require central bank purchases to induce economic growth in the future.

Meanwhile, there are signs of continued U.S. economic expansion, although at a slower pace than the robust, fiscal-cut-stimulated growth of 2018. These include further recent lows in unemployment claims, still healthy U.S. Purchasing Managers’ Index levels (despite recent dips), overall home price appreciation (although tepid sales),

and increases in hourly earnings. Household debt is much lower now than in the previous market cycle. Lower mortgage rates and a rebound in equities also provide some tailwind. A likely trade deal with China, coupled with economic stimulus in China’s economy, should provide some lift later in 2019. A looming scarcity of qualified labor is currently the main concern in surveys of employers and suggests inflationary sparks could ignite. The temporary effects of the record federal government shutdown from December 22^nd to January 25^th as well as the unusually cold polar vortex winter, are now also removed.

Another key support for the U.S. economy is increasing federal deficit spending. It is highly unusual to have deficits of the current magnitude (4.5% of GDP) - and also to have such a sharply rising debt/GDP ratio - while unemployment is at historic lows with growth as solid as last year. The federal deficit exceeds the entire amount of expected GDP growth. The $1 trillion U.S. deficit in 2019 will be financed by spiraling Treasury borrowing, in addition to hundreds of billions of maturing notes rolled over each year. This supply should increasingly pressure bond market yields (notwithstanding new-fangled Modern Monetary Theory claims). When a recession eventually arrives, deficit borrowing could surge to unprecedented levels and push up interest rates at a difficult juncture.

Meaning of Yield Curve Inversion

The 3-month/10-year yield curve inversion in late March 2019 was highlighted in the media as a strong portent of recession. For many economists to make this call, a longer and deeper inversion is necessary than the brief 1 to 5 basis points inversion seen over this 5-day period (which at time of this writing has dissipated). Moreover, a 3-month/10-year inversion is usually preceded by inversions of the 2-year/10-year and 5-year/30-year curves. That did not happen this time.

Perhaps most importantly, the Fed has ceased tightening for the time being. Yield curve inversions in the past were harbingers of further near-term Fed increases, which in turn helped cause recessions. This time may be different, as the Fed is more apprehensive about triggering a recession with central banks around the world struggling with normalization. In the past, the Fed kept hiking rates due to concerns over rising inflation - which is missing now. Moreover, analysts have posited that inversions may become more frequent since the “term premium” of the yield curve (excess yield for longer duration bonds) may have fundamentally shifted to new lows. Fed market activity, such as concentrating Treasury issuance in shorter

maturities, also has had a substantial impact on the slope of the yield curve. On balance, the flat yield curve may merely be signaling that the Fed is in neutral. It may stay flat for an extended period.

Strategy

This year may unfold similarly to 2015 and 2016, when U.S. growth slowed, and fears of recession were running strong. We remain cautiously optimistic on the economy, and mindful of the potential for interest rate surprises. While the future path of interest rates remains somewhat uncertain, we believe that uncertainty will create opportunities over the next few years. We believe the Sit Funds are well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities while continuing to earn substantial levels of current income.

The U.S. Government Securities Fund remains focused on a core of seasoned, high coupon federal Agency mortgage securities with short duration which should continue to provide superior long-term income and principal stability. The Sit Quality Income Fund also maintains a defensive posture against increases in short-term interest rates, through its combination of very short duration and higher quality assets such as government securities, residential mortgage backed securities, short-term asset-backed securities, and taxable municipal bonds. The shorter-than-benchmark duration makes it particularly attractive as a cash management vehicle

The tax-exempt fixed income strategy for both the Tax-Free Income Fund and the Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund prioritizes tax-exempt coupon income, which is the primary source of total return over longer periods of time. Our investment approach relies heavily on the use of higher coupon bonds, as well as bonds structured with call provisions, sinking funds, and prepayment clauses that provide attractive and regular cash flows. We also continue to focus on sectors and security features that offer incremental yield, while diversifying to manage credit risk.

We appreciate your continued interest in the Sit family of funds.

With best wishes,

Roger J. Sit

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).

The Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund provided a return of +3.31% during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2019, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays Intermediate Government Bond Index of +3.79%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 3.39% and its 12-month distribution rate was 2.15%.

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. The Fund reduces interest rate risk by using futures and options on Treasury securities. The use of futures and options was successful in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value, however, detracted from the return. The Federal Reserve hiked the Fed Funds rate three times over the 12-month period as it continued to normalize monetary policy. The strong U.S. economy caused interest rates to climb higher throughout most of 2018; however, as the global economy has begun to slow, the Federal Reserve has reversed course on both the normalization of monetary policy as well as the reduction of the balance sheet. The about face caused both short- and long-term interest rates to fall. The Federal Reserve now expects to reduce the balance sheet to $3.5 trillion by fourth quarter of 2019, a much smaller reduction than previously reported. They also expect to pause with further rate hikes for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect interest rates to remain lower until global concerns wane or growth in the U.S. economy accelerates. The Fund’s high coupon mortgages should continue to produce an income advantage in this environment as prepayments are likely to remain stable.

We continue to position the Fund defensively against rising short-term interest rates 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.

FUND DIVERSIFICATION

Based on total net assets as of March 31, 2019. Subject to change.

PORTFOLIO SUMMARY
Net Asset Value 3/31/19:	$10.92 Per Share
Net Asset Value 3/31/18:	$10.80 Per Share
Total Net Assets:	$427.3 Million
Effective Duration3:	3.1 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.

ESTIMATED AVERAGE LIFE
0-1 Year	2.9	%
1-5 Years	93.7
5-10 Years	2.6
20+ Years	0.8

The table represents the Adviser’s estimates of the dollar weighted average life of the portfolio’s securities, which differ from their stated maturities. The Fund’s average stated maturity was 18.1 years as of March 31, 2019.

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.

The Sit Quality Income Fund provided a return of +2.17% during the 12-month period ending March 31, 2019, compared to the return of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Bond Index of +3.03%. The Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.19% and its 12-month distribution rate was 1.94%.

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 year, the Fund benefitted from the income advantage produced by its holdings in residential mortgages, corporate, and taxable municipal securities. Non-agency residential mortgages underperformed as the income advantage was not enough to offset the price weakness. Taxable municipal securities outperformed as the strong income return more than offset the underperformance from a price perspective. Corporate securities outperformed despite modest spread widening. The Fund reduces interest rate risk by using futures and options on Treasury securities. The use of futures and options was successful in providing stability to the Fund’s net asset value, however, detracted from the return.

The Federal Reserve hiked interest rates three times over the 12-month period, as it continued to seek a more normalized monetary policy. The Federal Reserve’s balance sheet continued to decrease throughout the year which caused interest rates to rise throughout most of 2018. However, global growth concerns and a potential slow patch in the U.S. economy caused the Federal Reserve to reverse course on its normalization policies, causing interest rates to decline. The Federal Reserve now expects to reduce the balance sheet to $3.5 trillion by fourth quarter of 2019, and refrain from future rate hikes for the foreseeable future. As a result, we expect interest rates to remain at current levels until global concerns wane or growth in the U.S. economy accelerates.

We have positioned the Fund defensively, in both credit quality and interest rate sensitivity to maximize return potential while preserving principal. We focus on a mix of Treasury, agency and credit sectors that provide relatively high levels of income and stable prices.

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns include the reinvestment of distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

¹ The Bloomberg Barclays 1-3 Year Government/Credit Index is an unmanaged index of Treasury or government agency securities and investment grade corporate debt securities with maturities of one to three years. The returns include the reinvestment of income and do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This is the Fund’s primary index.

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 3/31/19:	$9.80 Per Share
Net Asset Value 3/31/18:	$9.78 Per Share
Total Net Assets:	$82.3 Million
Average Maturity:	9.7 Years
Effective Duration3:	1.1 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.

The Sit Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +3.67% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, versus a return of +4.42% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 5-year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2019, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.67%, compared to the yield of 1.83% for the benchmark index. The Fund’s 12-month distribution rate was 3.30%.

The tax-exempt yield curve shifted lower during the past year with short-to-intermediate yields falling the most. Yields for 5-year to 15-year maturities fell approximately 50-55 basis points while yields for long bonds fell approximately 35-40 basis points. The municipal market was buoyed by lower issuance volume throughout the fiscal year. Going into 2018, lighter supply was expected in the wake of federal tax law changes in 2017. Specifically, issuance for the period of April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 fell to $253.1B, or 13.1% below the average for that period since 2001. 2019Q1 issuance was $69.9B, bringing the fiscal year total to $323.0B, or 13.3% below the average for that period. Tax-exempt fund flows also provided support for the municipal market when they turned positive in December and accelerated in the first quarter of 2019 to a record $23.4B of inflows, the best start to a calendar year since the data series began in 1992.

The Fund maintained a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year. This strategy proved advantageous as yields fell across the curve and long duration bonds outperformed short duration bonds. However, the effect was dampened using U.S. Treasury futures to shorten duration, which we’ve done since April 2017 in anticipation of moderately rising interest rates. This hedging strategy was beneficial to the Fund’s performance between April and October, but detrimental as Treasury yields declined throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. As a result, the Fund underperformed its benchmark for the year. Offsetting factors included the Fund’s overweight in housing bonds and superior selection in non-rated bonds. The single-family and multi-family housing sectors, which represent the Fund’s largest weightings, significantly outperformed the benchmark index. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund held 20% of net assets in non-rated bonds and these bonds outperformed rated bonds over the past year.

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Returns include the reinvestment of distributions. The chart does not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or the redemption of Fund shares.

¹ The Bloomberg Barclays 5-Year Municipal Bond Index is the 5 year (4-6) component of the Municipal Bond Index, an unmanaged, rules-based, market-value-weighted index for the long-term tax-exempt bond market. The index includes bonds with a minimum credit rating of BBB. The returns include the reinvestment of income and do not include any transaction costs, management fees or other costs. It is not possible to invest directly in an index. This is the Fund’s primary index.

The Fund’s core strategy continues to emphasize current income as the primary driver of returns over the long run, thus we will add to higher coupon bonds when available. We will also focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. We expect to continue hedging to maintain duration close to that of the Fund’s benchmark, but we will remain prepared to adjust this position as market conditions warrant. We remain diversified on an industry and issuer basis in order to manage credit and liquidity risk, and we believe the Fund is positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

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 periods greater than one year are compounded average annual rates of return.

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

Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund

OBJECTIVE & STRATEGY

The investment objective of the Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund is to provide a high level of current income exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax as is consistent with the preservation of capital.

During normal market conditions, the Fund invests 100% of its net assets in municipal securities that generate interest income that is exempt from federal regular income tax and Minnesota regular personal income tax. The Fund anticipates that substantially all of its distributions to its shareholders will be exempt as such. For investors subject to the alternative minimum tax (“AMT”), up to 20% of the Fund’s income may be alternative minimum taxable income.

The Sit Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund provided a return of +4.15% during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2019, versus a return of +4.42% for its benchmark, the Bloomberg Barclays 5-year Municipal Bond Index. As of March 31, 2019, the Fund’s 30-day SEC yield was 2.60%, compared to the yield of 1.83% for the benchmark index. The Fund’s 12-month distribution rate was 3.11%.

Minnesota’s steady economic performance continues. The latest forecast for the FY2018-19 biennium shows a $563 million surplus for the state. The unemployment rate declined to 3.1% and remains below the 3.8% national rate as of February 2019. The State has benefited from the ongoing U.S. economic expansion and revenue growth that have allowed it to build up reserves, creating a strong buffer for future revenue declines. Minnesota’s state general obligation bond rating remains at AAA by Standard & Poor’s Corp. and Aa1 by Moody’s.

The tax-exempt yield curve shifted lower during the past year with short to intermediate yields falling the most. Yields for 5-year to 15-year maturities fell approximately 50-55 basis points while yields for long bonds fell approximately 35-40 basis points. The municipal market was buoyed by lower issuance volume throughout the fiscal year. Going into 2018, lighter supply was expected in the wake of federal tax law changes in 2017. Specifically, issuance for the period of April 1, 2018 through December 31, 2018 fell to $253.1B, or 13.1% below the average for that period since 2001. 2019Q1 issuance was $69.9B, bringing the fiscal year total to $323.0B, or 13.3% below the average for that period. Supply of Minnesota tax-exempt bonds was lower than in recent years but sufficient for us to find attractive investment opportunities for the Fund. Tax-exempt fund flows also provided support for the municipal market when they turned positive in December and accelerated in the first quarter of 2019 to a record $23.4B of inflows, the best start to a calendar year since the data series began in 1992.

The Fund maintained a larger weighting of long duration bonds relative to the benchmark over the last year. This strategy proved advantageous as yields fell across the curve and long duration bonds outperformed short duration bonds. However, the effect was dampened using U.S. Treasury futures to shorten duration, which we’ve done since April 2017 in anticipation of moderately rising interest rates. This hedging strategy was beneficial to the Fund’s performance between April and October, but detrimental as Treasury yields declined throughout the remainder of the fiscal year. As a result, the Fund underper-formed its benchmark for the year. Offsetting factors included sector allocation and the Fund’s superior selection in non-rated bonds.

HYPOTHETICAL GROWTH OF $10,000

The chart above illustrates the total value of a hypothetical $10,000 investment in the Fund over the past 10 years (or for the life of the Fund if shorter) as compared to the performance of the Bloomberg 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 Fund was overweight in housing, education and healthcare bonds – all of which outperformed the benchmark index. At the end of the fiscal year, the Fund held 25% of net assets in non-rated bonds and these bonds outperformed rated bonds over the past year.

The Fund’s core strategy continues to emphasize current income as the primary driver of returns over the long run, thus we will add to higher coupon bonds when available. We will also focus deeply on credit analysis to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. We expect to continue hedging to maintain duration close to that of the Fund’s benchmark, but we will remain prepared to adjust this position as market conditions warrant. We remain diversified on an industry and issuer basis in order to manage credit and liquidity risk, and we believe the Fund is positioned to achieve attractive risk-adjusted returns going forward.

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

(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	High level of current income and safety of principal.
Quality Income Fund	High level of current income and safety of principal.
Tax-Free Income	High level of current income that is exempt from federal income tax, consistent with the preservation of capital.
Minnesota Tax-Free Income	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.

(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).

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.

56 SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

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, 2019, 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		$565,503		—		$129,439,650
Written call options		—		$348,403		132,125,702
Quality Income Fund
Written call options		—		32,715		9,827,500
Treasury futures - short		—		—		26,709,111
Tax-Free Income Fund
Treasury futures - short		—		—		57,584,287
MinnesotaTax-Free Income Fund
Treasury futures - short		—		—		57,765,090

The number of open option contracts and open futures contracts outstanding as of March 31, 2019 also serve as indicators of the volume of activity for the Funds throughout the period.

Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

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

A summary of the levels for the Funds’ investments as of March 31, 2019 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, 2019, 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.

On the statement of assets and liabilities, as a result of permanent book-to-tax differences, reclassification adjustments were made to the following capital accounts:

	Distributable			Additional Paid
	Earnings			in Capital
Tax-Free Income		$	2,401,634		($	2,401,634	)

These differences were primarily attributable to market discount accretion adjustments and capital loss carryovers expiring.

Net capital loss carryovers and late year losses, if any, as of March 31, 2019, are available to offset future realized capital gains and thereby reduce future capital gains distributions. The Funds are permitted to carry forward capital losses for an unlimited period. Capital losses that are carried forward retain their character as either short-term or long-term capital losses. The net capital loss carryovers and the late year losses deferred as of March 31, 2019, were as follows:

	Unlimited Period of Net						Late Year		Accumulated
	Capital Loss Carryover						Losses		Capital and
	Short-Term			Long-Term			Deferred		Other Losses

For the year ended March 31, 2019, the Funds’ utilized capital losses and expired capital losses as follows:

	Utilized		Expired
Tax-Free Income		—	$2,401,634

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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

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 Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. 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, 2019, 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, 2019, 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, 2019, by correspondence with custodians and brokers. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements and financial highlights. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

We have served as the auditor of one or more Sit Mutual Funds investment companies since 1982.

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, 2018 to March 31, 2019.

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 (10/1/18)		Ending Account Value (3/31/19)		Expenses  Paid During  Period  (10/1/18-  3/31/19)*
U.S. Government Securities Fund
Actual		$1,000		$1,025.80	$4.04
Hypothetical		$1,000		$1,020.94	$4.03
Quality Income Fund
Actual		$1,000		$1,013.40	$4.52

Minnesota Tax-Free Income Fund
Actual		$1,000		$1,033.40	$4.06
Hypothetical		$1,000		$1,020.94	$4.03

*Expenses are equal to the Funds’ annualized expense ratio of 0.80% for the U.S. Government Securities, Tax-Free Income and Minnesota Tax-Free Funds; 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.)

RE-APPROVAL OF INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENTS

At their joint meeting held on October 22, 2018, the Boards of Directors of the Sit Mutual Funds unanimously approved the continuation for another one year period the investment management agreements entered into by and between Sit Investment Associates, Inc. (“SIA”) and Sit Mutual Funds II, Inc. dated November 1, 1992; and Sit U.S. Government Securities Fund, Inc. dated November 1, 1992 (the “Agreements”).

The Boards approved the Agreements after a lengthy discussion and consideration of various factors relating to both the Boards’ selection of SIA as the investment adviser and the Boards’ approval of the fees to be paid under the Agreements.

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

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

With respect to fixed income securities, SIA seeks securities with a special emphasis on interest income and significant stability of principal value. SIA’s style seeks to avoid excessive return volatility and generate consistent results over an economic cycle. The Directors noted that the Bond Funds’ objectives are to seek high current income. The Directors reviewed the Bond Funds’ characteristics, and noted that SIA has consistently managed the Bond Funds in this style. The Directors noted that since the Bond Funds emphasize income, they may at times not rank highly in total return comparisons with other funds during certain periods.

The Directors discussed SIA’s consistent and well-defined investment process. With respect to fixed income securities, the portfolio managers are responsible for implementing the strategy set forth in the Chief Fixed Income Officer’s duration targets and the Chief Investment Officer’s 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

68 SIT MUTUAL FUNDS ANNUAL REPORT

investment analysts, is actually greater than the Funds currently require at their present asset size. The Directors noted that SIA has the resources of a $13.2 billion dollar investment firm working for the benefit of the Fund shareholders.

Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed and discussed the Funds’ investment performance on an absolute and comparable basis for various periods as discussed below. The Directors noted that the investment performance of the Funds has generally been competitive with indices and other funds with similar investment styles as the Funds, such as fixed income funds seeking to maximize income.

Corporate Culture. The Directors discussed SIA’s corporate values to operate under the highest ethical and professional standards. SIA’s culture is set and practiced by senior management who insist that all professionals exhibit honesty and integrity. The Board noted that the firm’s values are evident in all of the services provided to the Funds.

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

Investment Performance. The Directors reviewed investment performance of each Fund for 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, year-to-date, 1 year, 5 years (as applicable), 10 years (as applicable) and since inception, both on an absolute basis and on a comparative basis to indices and mutual funds within the same investment categories. As noted above, the Directors concluded that the investment performance of the Funds has been competitive in relation to their stated objectives and strategies on a comparable basis with funds with similar objectives and strategies.

Fees and Expenses. The Directors noted that the Funds pay SIA a monthly fee and SIA is responsible for all of the Funds’ expenses except interest, brokerage commissions and transaction charges and certain extraordinary expenses. 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.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)

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.

Winslow are audit committee financial experts serving on its audit committee. Mr. Giles, Mr. Jones, Mr. Lueck, Mr. Phillips, and Mr. Winslow are independent for purposes of this item.

Item 4: Principal Accountant Fees and Services.

(a) – (d) Aggregate fees billed to the registrant for the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by the registrant’s principal accountant were as follows:

	Audit Fees (a)		Audit Related Fees (b)		Tax Fees (c)		Other Fees (d)
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2019	$	27,625	$	0	$	5,600	$	0
Fiscal year ended March 31, 2018	$	27,900	$	0	$	5,430	$	0

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.

(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.
