* | Past performance does not guarantee future results. The investment return and principal value of an investment in the Fund will fluctuate so that an investor’s shares, when sold, may be worth more or less than their original cost. The returns shown do not reflect the deduction of taxes that a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the sale of Fund shares. Current performance of the Fund may be lower or higher than the performance quoted. Performance data current to the most recent month end may be obtained by visiting www.arrowfunds.com or by calling 1-877-277-6933. |
The Fund’s per share net asset value or “NAV” is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the market price or bid/ask as of close of market on the primary stock exchange on which shares of the Fund are listed for trading, as of the time that the Fund’s NAV is calculated. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. Information detailing the number of days the Market Price of the Fund was greater than the Fund’s NAV and the number of days it was less than the Fund’s NAV can be obtained at www.arrowfunds.com. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses, before fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, are 0.61% per the June 1, 2023 prospectus. After fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the Fund’s total annual expenses are 0.50% per the June 1, 2023 prospectus. The Fund’s total return would have been lower had the investment advisor not waived a portion of the Fund’s expenses. Please see the Financial Highlights for a more recent expense ratio.
** | As of the close of business on the day of commencement of trading on March 31, 2017. |
The FTSE Treasury Bill 6 Month USD Index is a market value-weighted index of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of six months. The Index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) |
July 31, 2023 |
1. | ORGANIZATION |
The Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Arrow Investments Trust (“Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 2, 2011, and is registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), as an open-end management investment company. The Fund’s investment objective is to seek to preserve capital while maximizing current income. The investment objective is non-fundamental. The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2017.
2. | SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES |
The following is a summary of significant accounting policies followed by the Fund in preparation of its 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 Fund is an investment company and accordingly follows 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 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. 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”) using methods that include consideration of current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. If market quotations are not readily available or if Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) believes the market quotations are not reflective of market value, securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor and in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”) as the Valuation Designee. 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. Fair value may also be used by the Valuation Designee if extraordinary events occur after the close of the relevant world market but prior to the NYSE close. Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at the time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
11
Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
July 31, 2023 |
The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its 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 Fund has 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 Fund’s 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.
The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of July 31, 2023 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:
Assets * | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||||||||||||

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
July 31, 2023 |
Security transactions and related income – Security transactions are accounted for on the trade date. Interest income is recognized on an accrual basis. Discounts and premiums on debt securities are amortized over their respective lives using the effective interest method, except certain callable debt securities that are held at premium and will be amortized to the earliest call date. 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 – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly. Distributable net realized capital gains, if any, are declared and distributed 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 Fund intends to continue to comply with the requirements of the Internal Revenue Code applicable to regulated investment companies and to distribute all of its taxable income to its shareholders. Therefore, no provision for federal income tax is required. The Fund recognizes 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 Fund’s 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 ended January 31, 2020 to January 31, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s January 31, 2023 year-end tax return. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Fund is 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.
Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses that 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 expenses 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 Fund enters into contracts that contain a variety of representations and warranties and which provide general indemnities. The Fund’s maximum exposure under these arrangements is unknown, as this would involve future claims that may be made against the Fund that have not yet occurred. However, based on experience, the risk of loss due to these warranties and indemnities appears to be remote.
Time Deposits – Time deposits are issued by a depository institution in exchange for the deposit of funds. The issuer agrees to pay the amount deposited plus interest to the depositor on the date specified with respect to the deposit. Time deposits do not trade in the secondary market prior to
13
Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
July 31, 2023 |
maturity. However, some time deposits may be redeemable prior to maturity and may be subject to withdrawal penalties.
Market Risk – The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the individual securities and ETFs in which the Fund invests. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change or climate related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.
3. | INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS |
For the six months ended July 31, 2023, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments), amounted to $8,364,525 and $10,478,750, respectively.
For the six months ended July 31, 2023, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.
4. | INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES |
The business activities of the Fund are overseen by the Board, which is responsible for the overall management of the Fund. The Advisor serves as the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund (the “Advisory Agreement”). The Advisor has engaged Halyard Asset Management LLC as the sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund. The Trust has entered into a Global Custody Agreement with Brown Brothers Harriman & Co. to serve as custodian and to act as transfer and shareholder services agent.
The Trust has also entered into an ETF Distribution Agreement (the “Distribution Agreement”) with Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. Archer Distributors, LLC (“Archer”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is also a party to the Distribution Agreement
14
Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
July 31, 2023 |
and provides marketing services to the Fund, including responsibility for all the Fund’s marketing and advertising materials.
Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, the Advisor, under the oversight of the Board, directs the daily operations of the Fund and supervises the performance of administrative and professional services provided by others. As compensation for its services and the related expenses borne by the Advisor, the Fund pays the Advisor a fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Sub-Advisor is paid a contractual fee rate of 0.10% of net assets, paid by the adviser to the sub-adviser. For the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Fund incurred $75,742 in advisory fees. For the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Sub-Advisor earned $25,248 in sub-advisory fees.
Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has agreed, at least until May 31, 2024 to waive a portion of its advisory fee and has agreed to reimburse the Fund for other expenses to the extent necessary so that total expenses incurred (exclusive of any front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, taxes, leverage interest, brokerage commissions, expenses incurred in connection with any merger or reorganization, dividend expense on securities sold short, underlying fund fees and expenses, foreign custody transaction costs and foreign account set up fees and extraordinary expenses such as litigation expenses) will not exceed 0.50%, herein referred to as the “Expense Limitation.”
If the Advisor waives any fee or reimburses any expenses pursuant to the Waiver Agreement, and the Fund’s operating expenses are subsequently lower than its applicable Expense Limitation, the Advisor, on a rolling three-year period (within three years after the fees have been waived or reimbursed), shall be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund provided that such reimbursement does not cause the Fund’s operating expense to exceed the lesser of the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver or recapture. If the Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the applicable Expense Limitation, the reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. For the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Advisor waived fees in the amount of $28,394 pursuant to the Waiver Agreement. The following amounts are subject to recapture by the Advisor through the following date:
1/31/2024 | 1/31/2025 | 1/31/2026 | |||||||||
$ | 59,195 | $ | 49,061 | $ | 53,675 |
The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses that were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.
The Trust, with respect to the Fund, has adopted a distribution and service plan (“Plan”) pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. Under the Plan, the Fund is authorized to pay distribution fees to the Distributor and other firms that provide distribution and shareholder services (“Service Providers”). If a Service Provider provides these services, the Fund may pay fees at an annual rate not to exceed 0.25% of average daily net assets, pursuant to Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act.
15
Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF |
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
July 31, 2023 |
No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Fund.
Ultimus Fund Solutions, LLC (“UFS”) – UFS provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with UFS, the Fund pays UFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of UFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Trust for serving in such capacities.
Blu Giant, LLC ( “Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS, provides EDGAR conversion and filing services as well as print management services for the Fund on an ad-hoc basis. For the provision of these services, Blu Giant receives customary fees from the Fund.
5. | CAPITAL SHARE TRANSACTIONS |
Shares are not individually redeemable and may be redeemed by the Fund at NAV only in large blocks known as “Creation Units.” Shares are created and redeemed by the Fund only in Creation Unit size aggregations of 50,000 shares. Only Authorized Participants are permitted to purchase or redeem Creation Units from the Fund. An Authorized Participant is either (i) a broker-dealer or other participant in the clearing process through the Continuous Net Settlement System of the National Securities Clearing Corporation or (ii) a DTC participant and, in each case, must have executed a participant Agreement with the Distributor. Such transactions are generally permitted on an in-kind basis, with a balancing cash component to equate the transaction to the NAV per share of the Fund on the transaction date. Cash may be substituted equivalent to the value of certain securities generally when they are not available in sufficient quantity for delivery, not eligible for trading by the Authorized Participant or as a result of other market circumstances. In addition, the Fund may impose transaction fees on purchases and redemptions of Fund shares to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund in effecting trades. A fixed fee payable to the Custodian may be imposed on each creation and redemption transaction regardless of the number of Creation Units involved in the transaction (“Fixed Fee”). Transaction Fees may be used to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund or disclosed as capital shares for the Fund in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.
The Transaction Fees for the Fund are listed in the table below:

EXPENSE EXAMPLE (Unaudited) |
July 31, 2023 |
As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 Fund and to compare these costs with the ongoing costs of investing in other exchange traded funds. This example does not take into account transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund.
The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from February 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023.
Actual Expenses
The “Actual” line in the 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” line in the table below 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 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. 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.
Beginning | Ending | Expenses Paid During | Expenses Paid | |||||||||||
Account Value | Account Value | Period* | During Period** | |||||||||||

(5% return before expenses) | $ | 1,000.00 | $ | 1,022.32 | $ | 2.51 | 0.50% |
* | “Actual” expense information for the Fund is for the period February 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023. Actual expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the period from February 1, 2023 through July 31, 2023.) “Hypothetical” expense information for the Fund is presented on the basis of the full one-half year period to enable comparison to other funds. It is based on assuming the same net expense ratio and average account value over the period, but it is multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the full half-year period). |

LIQUIDITY RISK MANAGEMENT PROGRAM
The Fund has adopted and implemented a written liquidity risk management program as required by Rule 22e-4 (the “Liquidity Rule”) under the Investment Company Act. The program is reasonably designed to assess and manage the Fund’s liquidity risk, taking into consideration, among other factors, the Fund’s investment strategy and the liquidity of its portfolio investments during normal and reasonably foreseeable stressed conditions; its short and long-term cash flow projections; and its cash holdings and access to other funding sources.
During the six months ended July 31, 2023, the Trust’s Liquidity Risk Management Program Committee (the “Committee”) reviewed the Fund’s investments and determined that the Fund held adequate levels of cash and highly liquid investments to meet shareholder redemption activities in accordance with applicable requirements. Accordingly, the Committee concluded that (i) the Fund’s liquidity risk management program is reasonably designed to prevent violations of the Liquidity Rule and (ii) the Fund’s liquidity risk management program has been effectively implemented.
