Average Annual Returns


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.  Performance data current to the most recent month-end is available. Returns include changes in share price as well as reinvestment of all dividends and capital gains. Returns do no 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.

Fund Objectives and Strategy

The Sit Global Dividend Growth Fund seeks current income that exceeds the dividend yield of the MSCI World Index® and grows over a period of years and long-term capital appreciation. To achieve its objectives, the Fund invests, under normal market conditions, at least 80% of its net assets in dividend-paying common stocks issued by U.S. and foreign companies. The Fund will invest significantly (at least 30% of its net assets) in companies outside the U.S. The Adviser believes that a company’s earnings growth is a primary determinant of its potential long-term return and that a record of increasing dividend payments is a strong indicator of financial health and growth prospects.

Risk-Reward Profile

risk-reward20

Notes

Performance listed above is current to the most recent quarter-end. Performance data current to the most recent month-end can be found on the Performance Summary page.
Mutual fund investing involves risk; principal loss is possible.  There is no guarantee the Fund’s investment objectives will be achieved, and the market value of securities held by the Fund may fall or fail to rise.  Dividend paying stocks may not experience the same capital appreciation as non-dividend paying stocks, and the stocks held by the Fund may reduce or stop paying dividends.  Stocks of medium sized companies may be subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than stocks of larger, more established companies.  The Fund’s focus on growth stocks may cause the Fund’s performance at times to be better or worse than the performance of funds that focus on other types of stocks or that have a broader investment style.  International investing involves certain risks and volatility due to potential political, economic or currency instabilities and different financial and accounting standards.  An increase in interest rates may lower the value of the fixed-income securities held by the Fund.  A decrease in interest rates may lower the income earned by the Fund. More information on these risks considerations, as well as information on other risks to which the Fund is subject, are included in the Fund’s prospectus.  The prospectus may be obtained by calling Sit Mutual Funds at 1-800-332-5580 or downloaded from this website. Read the prospectus carefully before investing.  Investment return and principal value of an investment will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares when redeemed may be worth more or less than their original cost.  Carefully consider the Fund’s investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses before investing.
Fund holdings, sector allocations (as % of market value) and portfolio characteristics may change at any time and are not investment recommendations.  The MSCI World Index is an unmanaged free float-adjusted market capitalization index that measures the equity market performance of 23 Developed Markets countries.
