Income Funds
Primary objective is to generate current income. Best suited for investors seeking income, those with lower risk tolerance, and/or shorter investment timelines. May offer tax benefits.
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. Returns include changes in share price as well as reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains and all fee waivers (if applicable). Without the fee waivers total return and yield figures would have been lower. Returns do not reflect the deduction of the 2% redemption fee imposed on some Funds if shares are redeemed or exchanged within 30 calendar days from their date of purchase. If imposed, the fee would reduce the performance quoted. 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.
Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing. The prospectus contains this and other important Fund information and may be obtained by calling Sit Mutual Funds at 1-800-332-5580 or at www.sitfunds.com.
