That can’t be converted to SQL. I guess, in theory, it could, but isn’t implemented.
You just need to perform your projection after you have your results:
var pricingSecurityID = (from m in dbContext.Reporting_DailyNAV_Pricing
select m.PricingSecurityID).AsEnumerable()
.Select(x => new SelectListItem{ Text = x.ToString(), Value = x.ToString() });
