Dear Shareholder,
We are pleased to provide the annual report for the Arrow DWA Balanced Fund, Arrow DWA Tactical Fund, Arrow Dynamic Income Fund and Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund (each “a Fund” and collectively the “Funds”) for the one-year period ended July 31, 2020. During the past year, we have continued our ongoing client education efforts regarding the potential benefits of combining tactical asset allocation with alternative assets. All of the Funds continue to support this philosophy.
This reporting period for the Funds will be long remembered as the period the novel coronavirus/COVID-19 emerged and changed the face of the global economy in dramatic fashion. From July 31, 2019 through February 15, 2020 the equity and fixed income markets were performing rather well with the S&P 500 Index (“S&P 500”) up 14.68% and the Bloomberg Barclays US Aggregate Bond Index (“Bloomberg Agg Bond”) up 4.15% and the VIX Index living between the 12 and 18 index level range. This despite international trade tensions with China and the U.K.’s difficult exit from the European Union. The longest bull market in history had its challenges but was forging ahead as the start of 2020 saw an initial trade agreement between China and the U.S. as well as the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. 2020 began on a promising note. However, as the coronavirus pandemic became more pronounced, the S&P 500 dropped over 33% from February 14 to March 23, 2020 and the VIX Index spiked from 17 to an index level of over 80. On March 11, 2020, the World Health Organization acknowledged that the disease had reached pandemic proportions. In response, governments and central banks pledged trillions of dollars to address the mounting economic fallout of “stay-at-home” orders and other restrictions on non-essential activity. In the United States, the Federal Reserve cut interest rates to near zero and announced unlimited quantitative easing. In late March, the U.S. government declared a national emergency as unemployment claims increased by 22 million in a four-week period. The unemployment rate began the year at a very respectable 3.5% but by April 2020 it was 14.7%. To put that in perspective, you’d have to go back to the Dust Bowl / Great Depression Era of the early 1930’s to find U.S. unemployment at higher levels. This was the highest unemployment rate in the U.S. since the end of World War II. President Trump signed the CARES Act that provided a $2 trillion stimulus package with the promise of further aid to consumers and businesses. Investors responded favorably to these fiscal and monetary measures and the equity markets have gone on to recover significantly; by July 31, 2020, the S&P 500 was almost back at its pre-COVID highs. The uncertainty in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic caused wide disparity in performance across asset classes and investment strategies during this period and may well continue to do so for some time to come.
Arrow DWA Balanced Fund allows investors to gain exposure to sophisticated asset allocation strategies similar to those used by institutions and endowments. The Fund stays responsive to market conditions through a relative strength-based allocation process across a diverse array of market segments primarily through a combination of exchange traded products (“ETP”) and individual equities based on the DWA Balanced investment model. The Fund also provides exposure to managed futures using derivatives, such as swap agreements, with an additional expense that will reduce the overall performance. The Fund may also use derivatives and futures to gain exposure to some markets, such as commodities and currencies. This is done when trading efficiency and cost benefits to the Fund would have the potential for a net positive impact on overall performance by reducing acquired fund fees from holding an ETP. As conditions change, the tactical nature of the Fund allows it to seek new market leadership. The Fund’s net assets were more than $50 million at the end of July 2020. Since the Fund’s inception in August 2006 through the end of July 2020, the Fund’s annualized performance was 4.81% (Class A, without load), while the S&P 500 returned 9.23%, the Morningstar Global Flexible Allocation Equal Weight Index returned 3.51% and the Bloomberg Agg Bond returned 4.76% over the same time period. The Fund (Class A, without load) was up 10.72% for the one-year period through July 2020, lagging the S&P 500’s 11.96% return over the same period and outperformed the Morningstar Global Flexible Equal Weight
benchmark’s performance of 1.81%. Over the same one-year period, bonds were up 10.12%, as measured by the Bloomberg Agg Bond. The DWA Balanced Fund performed admirably well during the period with strong contributions to performance from its fixed income and alternative rotation strategies.
Arrow DWA Tactical Fund stays responsive to market conditions through a relative strength-based allocation process across a concentrated portfolio primarily consisting of exchange traded products based on the DWA Global Macro investment model. The Fund may also use derivatives and futures to gain exposure to some markets, such as commodities and currencies. This is done when trading efficiency and cost benefits to the Fund would have the potential for a net positive impact on overall performance by reducing acquired fund fees from holding an ETP. The Arrow DWA Tactical Fund’s net assets were at approximately $85 million through the end of July 2020. Since its inception in May 2008 through July 2020, the Fund’s Class A shares (without load) had an annualized return of 2.77% versus the broad domestic stock market’s return of 9.52% as measured by the S&P 500 and the PCM Global Macro Index’s return of 4.46%. The Bloomberg Agg Bond returned 4.53% over the same time period. Keep in mind that the performance since inception can be deceiving, considering the Fund was launched around the market peak shortly before the global financial crisis of 2008-09. It is important to remember that some of that performance occurred prior to the Fund’s current global macro approach went into effect on August 3, 2009. Choppy markets and frequent changes in market leadership tend to hinder relative strength-based strategies, particularly those with concentrated holdings exposure. Despite the timing of the Fund’s launch, returns since inception are positive and the strategy has had many periods where it has shined versus its peers. The Fund (Class A, without load) was 2.03% for the one-year period, trailing the S&P 500’s 11.96% and the PCM Global Macro’s 5.07% return. When compared to the bond market, the Fund underperformed the Bloomberg Agg Bond’s one-year return of 10.12%. The Fund’s one-year returns lagged the domestic equity markets primarily due to the extraordinary effects of the coronavirus pandemic on the markets combined with the S&P 500’s higher relative concentration in the Technology sector. Good contributions to performance during the period came from the Fund’s positions in precious metals.
Arrow Dynamic Income Fund allows investors to gain exposure to four nontraditional bond strategies within a single portfolio. The Fund is designed to provide tactical long, flat and/or short exposure to distinct fixed income baskets of high yield, credit default, mortgage backed securities and government bonds. The Fund uses ETPs, mutual funds, as well as derivatives and futures contracts for positional exposure, or to create market neutral positions when bond market liquidity is a factor. The use of derivatives provides less transactional performance drag due to potential fixed income market liquidity premiums and constraints. The Fund’s focus on alternative fixed income follows four distinct systematic tactical strategies that act independently of one another and are unique to each market segment. The Fund’s net assets were more than $2.9 million at the end of July 2020. Since its inception in October 2007 through July 31, 2020, the Fund’s Class A shares (without load) had an annualized return of -1.77% versus the Bloomberg Agg Bond return of 4.58% over the same period and the PCM Emerald Long/Short Debt HF Index’s 3.32% return. It is important to remember that some of that performance occurred prior to the Fund’s current alternative fixed income approach, which went into effect on March 31, 2014. The Fund (Class A, without load) was -17.13% for the one-year period ended July 31, 2020, while the Bloomberg Agg Bond returned 10.12% and the PCM Emerald Long/Short Debt HF Index returned -1.41%. The volatility associated with the coronavirus pandemic was particularly hard on the Dynamic Income Fund. The sharp reversals caused losses across the Fund’s technical trend following strategies and the collapse of the mortgage backed securities market at the height of the coronavirus crisis caused losses as well.
Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund follows a strategy that seeks to provide exposure to a wide range of global futures markets. In October 2015, the Fund began tracking the DUNN Capital World Monetary & Agricultural (“WMA”) Program, a systematic quantitative managed futures program overseen
by DUNN Capital Management, LLC (“DUNN”). With more than 40 years of experience, DUNN has received several awards and has been recognized as an industry leader. The DUNN WMA Program provides access to more than 50 global markets through the use of more than 100 proprietary trading models. The nature of managed futures generally requires direct or indirect exposure to the futures market, rather than holding physical commodities and financial instruments. In order to provide mutual fund access to the DUNN WMA Program, the Fund must use derivatives, such as swap agreements, with an additional expense that reduces the overall performance of the Fund. The market value of the swap makes up 100% of the notional value of the Fund. The Fund is intended to complement traditional portfolios due to the historically low correlation of managed futures relative to many other asset classes. The Fund’s net assets were more than $83 million at the end of July 2020. Since its inception at the end of April 2010 through the end of July 2020, the Fund (Class A, without load) has an annualized return of -1.26%, while the broad market S&P 500 has returned an annualized 12.70% and the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index returned an annualized 0.65%. The Fund (Class A, without load) lost -11.47% in the one-year period ended July 31, 2020, while the S&P 500, Bloomberg Agg Bond and Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index returned 11.96%, 10.12% and lost -8.69%, respectively, over the same time period. The DUNN WMA Program has historically embraced a wider range of volatility than the managed futures strategies represented by the Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index. During the 12 months ended July 31, 2020, the Fund underperformed this benchmark as well as the S&P 500.

The Arrow DWA Balanced Fund (“ADBF”), the Arrow DWA Tactical Fund (“ADTF”), the Arrow Dynamic Income Fund (“ADIF”) and the Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund (“AMFSF”) (Each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”) are each a series of shares of beneficial interest of Arrow Investments Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2011, and are registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as open-end management investment companies. The Funds are diversified funds. ADTF is a fund of funds. ADBF seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between long-term capital appreciation and capital preservation. ADTF seeks to achieve long-term capital appreciation with capital preservation as a secondary objective. ADIF seeks income and long term capital appreciation with an emphasis on absolute (positive) returns, low volatility and low correlation to the equity and fixed income markets. AMFSF seeks long-term capital appreciation and to achieve absolute returns.
Each Fund was reorganized on March 1, 2012 from a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust, a Delaware statutory trust, to a series of the Trust. As a series of the Trust, each Fund is a continuation of a predecessor fund that was a series of Northern Lights Fund Trust.
The Funds currently offer Class A shares, Class C shares and Institutional Class Shares. Class A shares are offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75%. Class C and Institutional Class shares are offered at net asset value. Each class represents an interest in the same assets of a Fund and classes are identical except for differences in their sales charge structures and ongoing service and distribution charges. All classes of shares have equal voting privileges except that each class has exclusive voting rights with respect to its service and/or distribution plans. Each Funds’ income, expenses (other than class specific distribution fees) and realized and unrealized gains and losses are allocated proportionately each day based upon the relative net assets of each class.
| 2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Funds in preparation of their financial statements. These policies are in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of financial statements requires management to make 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 amounts of income and expenses for the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
The Funds are each an investment company and accordingly follow the investment company accounting and reporting guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

Securities valuation – Securities listed on an exchange (including exchange-traded funds (“ETFs”)) are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the last bid price on the day of valuation. Options and futures contracts listed on a securities exchange or board of trade for which market quotations are readily available shall be valued at the last quoted sales price or, in the absence of a sale, at the last reported bid price on the valuation date. Index options and options not listed on a security exchange or board of trade shall be valued at the last reported bid price on the valuation date. Swap transactions are valued through an independent pricing service or at fair value based on daily price reporting from the swap counterparty based on the proprietary index. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) based on methods which include consideration of: yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type, indications as to values from dealers, and general market conditions or market quotations from a major market maker in the securities. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. Short -term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Funds may invest in portfolios of open- end or closed-end investment companies (the “Underlying Funds”). Underlying open-end funds (other than ETFs) are valued at their respective net asset values as reported by such investment companies. The Underlying Funds value securities in their portfolios for which market quotations are readily available at their market values (generally the last reported sale price) and all other securities and assets at their fair value by the methods established by the boards of the Underlying Funds. The shares of many closed- end investment companies, after their initial public offering, frequently trade at a price per share, which is different than the net asset value per share. The difference represents a market premium or market discount on such shares. There can be no assurances that the market discount or market premium on shares of any closed-end investment company purchased by the Funds will not change.
Exchange Traded Notes – The Funds may invest in exchange traded notes (“ETNs”). ETNs are generally a type of debt security that is linked to the performance of underlying securities. The risks of owning ETNs generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they are designed to track. In addition, ETNs are subject to credit risk generally to the same extent as debt securities. There were no ETNs held during the year for any of the Funds.
Exchange Traded Funds – The Funds may invest in ETFs. ETFs are a type of fund bought and sold on a securities exchange. An ETF trades like common stock and represents a portfolio of securities. The risks of owning an ETF generally reflect the risks of owning the underlying securities they hold, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
July 31, 2020 |
more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.
In certain circumstances, securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) and in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). The Board will review the fair value method in use for securities requiring a fair market value determination at least quarterly. The Procedures consider, among others, the following factors to determine a security’s fair value: the nature and pricing history (if any) of the security; whether any dealer quotations for the security are available; and possible valuation methodologies that could be used to determine the fair value of the security.
The Funds utilize various methods to measure the fair value of their investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:
Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Funds have the ability to access.
Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.
Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Funds’ own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.
The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.
The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of ADBF, ADTF, and AMFSF include the accounts of ADB-CFC, ADT-CFC, and AMFS-CFC, respectively, which are wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. ADIF’s prior years’ financial highlights were consolidated with Northern Lights SPC (AAS-CFC). All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
The Funds, except ADIF, may invest up to 25% of their total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Funds’ investment objectives and policies.
The CFCs utilize commodity-based derivative products to facilitate the Funds’ pursuit of their investment objectives. In accordance with their investment objectives and through their exposure to the aforementioned commodity-based derivative products, the Funds may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk – The Funds’ exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Funds to greater volatility than investments in traditional securities. The value of commodity-linked derivative instruments, commodity-based exchange traded trusts and commodity-based exchange traded funds and notes may be affected by changes in overall market movements, commodity index volatility, changes in interest rates, or sectors affecting a particular industry or commodity, such as drought, floods, weather, livestock disease, embargoes, tariffs, and international economic, political and regulatory developments.
Credit Risk – There is a risk that issuers and counterparties will not make payments on securities and other investments held by a Fund, resulting in losses to the Funds. In addition, the credit quality of securities held by a Fund may be lowered if an issuer’s financial condition changes. Lower credit quality may lead to greater volatility in the price of a security and in shares of the Fund. Lower credit quality also may affect liquidity and make it difficult for a Fund to sell the security. The Funds may invest, directly or indirectly, in high yield fixed-income securities (also known as “junk bonds”), which are considered speculative with respect to the issuer’s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligations. This means that, compared to issuers of higher rated securities, issuers of medium and lower rated securities are less likely to have the capacity to pay interest and repay principal when due in the event of adverse business, financial or economic conditions and/or may be in default or not current in the payment of interest or principal. The market values of medium- and lower-rated securities tend to be more sensitive to company-specific developments and changes in economic conditions than higher-rated securities. The companies that issue these securities often are highly leveraged, and their ability to service their debt obligations during an economic downturn or periods of rising interest rates may be impaired. In addition, these companies may not have access to more traditional methods of financing, and may be unable to repay debt at maturity by refinancing. The risk of loss due to default in payment of interest or principal by these issuers is significantly greater than with higher-rated securities because medium- and lower-rated securities generally are unsecured and subordinated to senior debt. Default, or the market’s perception that an issuer is likely to default, could reduce the value and liquidity of
The Arrow Funds |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
July 31, 2020 |
securities held by a Fund. In addition, default may cause a Fund to incur expenses in seeking recovery of principal or interest on its portfolio holdings.
Derivatives Risk – The Funds may use derivatives (including swaps, structured notes, options, futures and options on futures) to enhance returns or hedge against market declines. The Funds’ use of derivative instruments involves risks different from, or possibly greater than, the risks associated with investing directly in securities and other traditional investments. These risks include (i) the risk that the counterparty to a derivative transaction may not fulfill its contractual obligations; (ii) risk of mispricing or improper valuation; and (iii) the risk that changes in the value of the derivative may not correlate perfectly with the underlying asset, rate or index. These risks could cause a Fund to lose more than the principal amount invested. In addition, investments in derivatives may involve leverage, which means a small percentage of assets invested in derivatives can have a disproportionately large impact on the Funds.
Swap Counterparty Credit Risk – The Funds are subject to credit risk on the amount the Funds expect to receive from swap agreement counterparties. With certain exchange traded credit default swaps, there is minimal counterparty risk to a Fund in that the exchanges clearinghouse, as counter party, guarantees against default.
Fixed Income Risk – When a Fund invests in fixed income securities, the value of its investments in such securities will fluctuate with changes in interest rates. Typically, a rise in interest rates causes a decline in the value of fixed income securities owned by a Fund. In general, the market price of debt securities with longer maturities will increase or decrease more in response to changes in interest rates than shorter-term securities. Other risk factors include credit risk (the debtor may default) and prepayment risk (the debtor may pay its obligation early, reducing the amount of interest payments). These risks could affect the value of a particular investment by a Fund, possibly causing a Fund’s share price and total return to be reduced and fluctuate more than other types of investments.
Portfolio Turnover Risk – Portfolio turnover refers to the rate at which the securities held by the Funds are replaced. The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover, which may reduce the Funds return unless the securities traded can be bought and sold without corresponding commission costs. Active trading of securities may also increase a Fund’s realized capital gains or losses, which may affect the taxes you pay as a Fund shareholder.
Taxation Risk – By investing in commodities indirectly through a CFC, the Funds will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements that apply to the Funds. However, any income received from the CFC will be passed through to each Fund as ordinary income, which may be taxed at less favorable rates than capital gains.
Wholly-Owned Subsidiary Risk – Each CFC will not be registered under the 1940 Act and will not be subject to all of the investor protections of the 1940 Act. Changes in the laws of the United

States and/or the Cayman Islands, under which each Fund and CFC, respectively, are organized, could result in the inability of each Fund and/or CFC to operate as described in the Prospectus and could negatively affect each Fund and their shareholders. Your cost of investing in a Fund will be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses of its CFC.
A summary of the Funds’ investments in the CFCs are as follows:
| | | | CFC Net Assets at | | | % of Total Net Assets at |
| | Inception Date of CFC | | July 31, 2020 | | | July 31, 2020 |
ADB-CFC | | 12/5/2012 | | $ | 2,025,914 | | | 4.00% |
ADT-CFC | | 12/12/2011 | | | 6,524,332 | | | 7.65% |
AMFS-CFC | | 7/23/2010 | | | 7,751,459 | | | 9.25% |
Security Transactions and Related Income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts are accreted and premiums are amortized on securities purchased over the lives of the respective securities. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.
Dividends and Distributions to Shareholders – ADBF and ADTF intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income at least annually and net capital gain annually. AMFSF intends to distribute substantially all of its investment income at least quarterly and net capital gain annually. ADIF intends to distribute substantially all of its investment income at least monthly and net capital gain annually. Dividends from net investment income and distributions from net realized gains are determined in accordance with federal income tax regulations, which may differ from GAAP. These “book/tax” differences are considered either temporary (e.g., deferred losses) or permanent in nature. To the extent these differences are permanent in nature, such amounts are reclassified within the composition of net assets based on their federal tax-basis treatment; temporary differences do not require reclassification. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
Federal Income Taxes – The Funds intend 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 their shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Funds recognize the tax benefits of uncertain tax positions only where the position is “more likely than not” to be sustained assuming examination by tax authorities. Management has analyzed the Funds’ tax positions, and has concluded that no liability for unrecognized tax benefits should be recorded related to uncertain tax positions taken on returns filed for open tax years July 31, 2017 – July 31, 2019, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ July 31, 2020 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments. The Funds are not aware of any tax positions for which it is reasonably possible that the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits will change materially in the next twelve months.

Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Funds are maintained in U.S. dollars. Investment securities and other assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, and income receipts and expense payments are translated into U.S. dollars using the prevailing exchange rate at the London market close. Purchases and sales of securities are translated into U.S. dollars at the contractual currency rates established at the approximate time of the trade. Net realized gains and losses on foreign currency transactions represent net gains and losses from currency realized between the trade and settlement dates on securities transactions and the difference between income accrued versus income received. The effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates on investments in securities are included with the net realized and unrealized gain or loss on investment securities, if any.
Forward Currency Contracts – As foreign securities are purchased, a Fund generally enters into forward currency exchange contracts in order to hedge against foreign currency exchange rate risks. The market value of the contract fluctuates with changes in currency exchange rates. The contract is marked-to-market daily and the change in market value is recorded by a Fund as an unrealized gain or loss. As foreign securities are sold, a portion of the contract is generally closed and the Fund records a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the value of the contract at the time it was opened and the value at the time it was closed. Realized gains and losses from contract transactions are included as a component of net realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no forward currency contracts held during the year for any Fund.
Futures Contracts – Each Fund is subject to equity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency exchange rate risk in the normal course of pursuing their investment objectives. The Funds may purchase or sell futures contracts to gain exposure to, or hedge against, changes in the value of equities, interest rates, foreign currencies or commodities. Initial margin deposits required upon entering into futures contracts are satisfied by the segregation of specific securities or cash as collateral for the account of the broker (the Funds’ agent in acquiring the futures position). During the period the futures contracts are open, changes in the value of the contracts are recognized as unrealized gains or losses by “marking to market” on a daily basis to reflect the market value of the contracts at the end of each day’s trading. Variation margin payments are received or made depending upon whether unrealized gains or losses are incurred. When the contracts are closed, a Fund recognizes a realized gain or loss equal to the difference between the proceeds from, or cost of, the closing transaction and the Fund’s basis in the contract. If a Fund is unable to liquidate a futures contract and/or enter into an offsetting closing transaction, that Fund would continue to be subject to market risk with respect to the value of the contracts and continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contracts. Each Fund segregates liquid securities having a value at least equal to the amount of the current obligation under any open futures contract. Risks may exceed amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. With futures, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to a Fund since futures are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded futures, guarantees the futures against default.

July 31, 2020 |
Options Transactions – Each Fund is subject to equity price risk in the normal course of pursuing its investment objective and may purchase or sell options to help hedge against this risk.
Each Fund may write call options only if it (i) owns an offsetting position in the underlying security or (ii) has an absolute or immediate right to acquire that security without additional cash consideration or exchange of other securities held in its portfolio.
When a Fund writes a call option, an amount equal to the premium received is included in the Consolidated Statement of Assets and Liabilities as a liability. The amount of the liability is subsequently marked-to-market to reflect the current market value of the option. If an option expires on its stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing purchase transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a written call option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized for the sale of the underlying security and the proceeds from the sale are increased by the premium originally received. As writer of an option, a Fund has no control over whether the option will be exercised and, as a result, retains the market risk of an unfavorable change in the price of the security underlying the written option. When a Fund purchases an option, an amount equal to the premium paid by a Fund is recorded as an investment and is subsequently adjusted to the current value of the option purchased. If an option expires on the stipulated expiration date or if a Fund enters into a closing sale transaction, a gain or loss is realized. If a call option is exercised, the cost of the security acquired is increased by the premium paid for the call. If a put option is exercised, a gain or loss is realized from the sale of the underlying security, and the proceeds from such a sale are decreased by the premium originally paid. Written and purchased options are non-income producing securities. With purchased options, there is minimal counterparty credit risk to the Funds since these options are exchange traded and the exchange’s clearinghouse, as counterparty to all exchange traded options, guarantees against a possible default.
Structured Notes – There are several risks associated with the use of structured notes. Structured notes are leveraged, thereby providing an exposure to the underlying benchmark greater than the face amount and increasing the volatility of each note relative to the change in the underlying linked financial instrument. A highly liquid secondary market may not exist for the structured notes a Fund invests in, which may make it difficult for that Fund to sell the structured notes it holds at an acceptable price or to accurately value them. In addition, structured notes are subject to the risk that the counterparty to the instrument, or issuer, might not pay interest when due or repay principal at maturity of the obligation. Although the Funds will not invest in any structured notes unless the Funds’ management believes that the issuer is creditworthy, a Fund does bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received in the event of the default or bankruptcy of the issuer.
Swap Agreements – The Funds may enter into swap agreements to manage their exposure to various risks. A total rate of return swap agreement is a derivative contract in which one party (the receiver) receives the total return of a specific index or a specific security on a
The Arrow Funds |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued) |
July 31, 2020 |
notional amount of principal from a second party (the seller) in return for paying a funding cost, which is usually quoted in relation to the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). During the life of the agreement, there are periodic exchanges of cash flows in which the index receiver pays the LIBOR-based interest on the notional principal amount and receives (or pays if the total return is negative or spreads widen) the index total return on the notional principal amount. A credit default swap is an agreement between a protection buyer and a protection seller whereby the buyer agrees to periodically pay the seller a premium, generally expressed in terms of interest on a notional principal amount, over a specified period in exchange for receiving compensation from the seller when an underlying reference debt obligation or index of reference debt obligations is subject to one or more specified adverse credit events (such as bankruptcy, failure to pay, acceleration of indebtedness, restructuring, or repudiation/ moratorium). A Fund will become a protection seller to take on credit risk in order to earn a premium. A Fund will usually enter into swaps on a net basis, i.e., the two payment streams are netted out, with a Fund receiving or paying, as the case may be, only the net amount of the two payments. Swaps are marked to market based upon quotations from market makers and the change, if any, along with an accrual for periodic payments due or owed is recorded as unrealized gain or loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Net payments on swap agreements are included as part of realized gain/loss in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Entering into these agreements involves, to varying degrees, elements of credit and market risk in excess of the amounts recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities. Such risks include the possibility that there will be no liquid market for these agreements, that the counterparty to the agreements may default on its obligation to perform, that there may be unfavorable changes in the fluctuation of interest rates or the occurrence of adverse credit events on reference debt obligations.

Credit Facility – The Funds have collectively entered into a $15 million secured Revolving Credit Agreement (the “Agreement”) with MUFG Union Bank, National Association. Under the terms of the Agreement, each Fund may not exceed the limit on borrowing money set forth in the Registration Statement of that Fund and the borrowing will be used only for temporary or emergency purposes including the financing of redemptions. Interest is charged to each Fund based on the prevailing market rates in effect at the time of the borrowing. The Funds will collateralize the borrowings with certain securities the Funds hold at the time of borrowing.
During the year ended July 31, 2020, the Funds did not incur any interest expense (including origination fees) related to the borrowings. At July 31, 2020, there were no outstanding borrowings.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses, which are not readily identifiable to a specific fund, are allocated in such a manner as deemed equitable (as determined by the Board), taking into consideration the nature and type of expense and the relative sizes of the funds in the Trust.
Indemnification – The Trust indemnifies its officers and trustees for certain liabilities that may arise from the performance of their duties to the Trust. Additionally, in the normal course of business, the Trust enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Trust’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Trust that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the Trust expects the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities to be remote.
| 3. | OFFSETTING OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND DERIVATIVE ASSETS |
Each Fund’s policy is to recognize a net asset or liability in the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities equal to the unrealized appreciation or depreciation for futures and swaps contracts. During the year ended July 31, 2020, each Fund was subject to a master netting arrangement for the futures and swaps. The following table shows additional information regarding the offsetting of assets and liabilities at July 31, 2020.

computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 1.00% of ADBF and ADTF average daily net assets, 0.75% of ADIF average daily net assets, and 0.85% of AMFSF average daily net assets.
Pursuant to an exemptive order, each Fund may invest a portion of their assets in the other Funds managed by the Advisors. ADBF invested in Arrow Dogs of the World ETF (“DOGS”), Arrow QVM Equity Factor ETF (“QVM”), Arrow DWA Country Rotation ETF (“DWCR”) and Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF (“ARCM”). During the year ended July 31, 2020, each Fund invested in ARCM. The Advisor has agreed to waive 0.05% of its advisory fee on the portion of ADBF’s assets that are invested in DOGS, DWCR and QVM. The Advisor has agreed to waive 0.05% of its advisory fee on the portion of ADBF, ADTF, ADIF and AMFSF’s assets that are invested in the ARCM. For the year ended July 31, 2020, the Advisor waived $7,192, $69, $1,102 and $23,007, in ADBF, ADTF, ADIF and AMFSF, respectively, pursuant to its agreement. As of July 31, 2020, ADBF is no longer invested in DOGS, which was liquidated on May 15, 2020, and ADIF is no longer invested in ARCM.
The Board has adopted a Distribution Plan and Agreement (the “Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act with respect to the Funds. The Plan provides that a monthly service and/or distribution fee is calculated by each Fund at an annual rate of 0.25% of its average daily net assets for Class A and an annual rate of 1.00% of its average daily net assets for Class C and is paid to Archer Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to provide compensation for ongoing shareholder servicing and distribution-related activities or services and-or maintenance of the Funds’ shareholder accounts, not otherwise required to be provided by the Advisor. The Plan is a compensation plan, which means that compensation is provided regardless of 12b-1 expenses incurred.
The Distributor acts as the Funds’ principal underwriter in a continuous public offering of the Funds’ Class A and Class C shares. The Distributor is an affiliate of the Advisor. For the year ended July 31, 2020, the Distributor received $53,465, of which $7,679 was retained in commissions.

LLC (collectively, the “Gemini Companies”), sold its interest in the Gemini Companies to a third party private equity firm that contemporaneously acquired Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (an independent mutual fund administration firm) and its affiliates (collectively, the “Ultimus Companies”). As a result of these separate transactions, the Gemini Companies and the Ultimus Companies are now indirectly owned through a common parent entity, The Ultimus Group, LLC.
The Funds, except for ADIF, may assess a short-term redemption fee of 1.00% of the total redemption amount if a shareholder sells their shares after holding them for less than 30 days. The redemption fee is paid directly to the specific Fund in which the short- term redemption fee occurs. For the year ended July 31, 2020, ADBF, ADTF, ADIF and AMFSF assessed $1, $5,651, $0, and $6,255 respectively, in redemption fees.
| 7. | UNDERLYING INVESTMENT IN OTHER INVESTMENT COMPANIES |
ADBF, ADTF and AMFSF currently invest a portion of their assets in ARCM, a Fund advised by the Advisor. ARCM is registered under the 1940 Act, as an open-end management investment company. ARCM’s investment objective seeks to preserve capital while maximizing current income. ARCM’s securities valuation policies are similar to the Funds’ policies. Each Fund may sell or redeem their investment in ARCM at any time if the Advisor determines that it is in the best interest of each Fund and its shareholders to do so. Each Fund’s performance will be directly affected by the performance of ARCM.

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation (depreciation), accumulated net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized gain (loss) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, and mark-to-market on open futures and swap contracts.
Late year losses incurred after December 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Fund incurred and elected to defer such late year losses as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Trustees of Arrow Investments Trust
and the Shareholders of Arrow DWA Balanced Fund, Arrow DWA Tactical Fund, Arrow Dynamic Income Fund, and Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated (where noted) statements of assets and liabilities of Arrow DWA Balanced Fund, Arrow DWA Tactical Fund, Arrow Dynamic Income Fund, and Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund, each a series of shares of beneficial interest in Arrow Investments Trust (the “Funds”), including the consolidated (where noted) portfolios of investments, as of July 31, 2020, and the related consolidated (where noted) statements of operations for the year then ended, the consolidated (where noted) statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and the consolidated (where noted) financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, and the related consolidated (where noted) notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements” ). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated (where noted) financial position of the Funds as of July 31, 2020, and the results of their consolidated (where noted) operations for the year then ended, the consolidated (where noted) changes in their net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and their consolidated (where noted) financial highlights for each of the years in the five-year period then ended, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Funds’ management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Funds’ financial statements 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 law 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 audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Funds are not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of their internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Funds’ internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of July 31, 2020 by correspondence with the custodian, counterparties 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. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BBD, LLP
We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Arrow Investments Trust since 2012. We also served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Funds’ former trust from 2006 through 2012.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
July 31, 2020 |
As a shareholder of the Arrow DWA Balanced Fund, the Arrow DWA Tactical Fund, the Arrow Dynamic Income Fund, or the Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs) and redemption fees; (2) ongoing costs, including management fees; distribution and/or service (12b-1) fees; and other Fund expenses. These examples are intended to help you understand your ongoing costs (in dollars) of investing in the Arrow Funds and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other mutual funds.
These examples are based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2020 through July 31, 2020.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” table below provides information about actual account values and actual expenses. You may use the information below, 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 table 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 “Hypothetical” table below provides information about hypothetical account values and hypothetical expenses based on each of the Arrow Funds’ actual expense ratios and an assumed rate of return of 5% per year before expenses, which is not each Fund’s actual return. The hypothetical account values and expenses may not be used to estimate the actual ending account balances or expenses you paid for the period. You may use this information to compare this 5% hypothetical example with the 5% hypothetical examples that appear in the shareholder reports of 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 sales charges (loads), or redemption fees. Therefore, 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 were included, your costs would have been higher.
