The objective of the PCM Global Macro Index is total return through broad asset classes including global equities, fixed income, major currencies, precious metals, and commodity ETFs. By using inverse ETFs, PCM’s Risk Management Overlay may allow the capture of positive returns in periods of falling markets. The index may hold long and inverse (short) positions simultaneously. This creates a multi -directional strategy, making it possible to have gains when markets decline. This index may rotate on a monthly basis. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

The Funds are diversified funds. ADTBF seeks to achieve an appropriate balance between long-term capital appreciation and capital preservation.

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 Fund’s 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. Each 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 and Accounting Standards Update 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 a 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 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.
Exchange-Traded Funds – An ETF is a type of open-end fund, however, unlike a mutual fund, its shares are bought and sold on a securities exchange at market price and only certain financial institutions called authorized participants may buy and redeem shares of the ETF at net asset value. ETF shares can trade at either a premium or discount to net asset value. An ETF, like a mutual fund, is subject to specific risks depending on the type of strategy (actively managed or passively tracking an index) and the composition of its underlying holdings. Investing in an ETF involves substantially the same risks as investing directly in the ETF’s underlying holdings. ETFs pay fees and incur operating expenses, which reduce the total return earned by the ETFs from their underlying holdings. An ETF may not achieve its investment

objective or execute its investment strategy effectively, which may adversely affect the Fund’s performance.
In certain circumstances, securities may be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) as the Valuation Designee 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.

Consolidation of Subsidiaries – ADWAB Fund Limited (“ADB-CFC”), ADWAT Fund Limited (“ADT-CFC”), and Arrow MFT Fund Limited (“AMFS-CFC”) – The Consolidated Schedules of Investments, Consolidated Statements of Asset and Liabilities, Consolidated Statements of Operations, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Net Assets and the Consolidated Financial Highlights of ADTBF, ADTMF, and AMFSF include the accounts of ADB-CFC, ADT-CFC, and AMFS-CFC, respectively, which are wholly-owned and controlled subsidiaries. All inter-company accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Each Fund may invest up to 25% of its total assets in a controlled foreign corporation (“CFC”), which acts as an investment vehicle in order to effect certain investments consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives and policies.
Each CFC utilizes commodity-based derivative products to facilitate the relevant Fund’s pursuit of its investment objectives. In accordance with its investment objectives and through its exposure to the aforementioned commodity-based derivative products, a Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:
Commodity Risk – A Fund’s exposure to the commodities markets may subject the Fund 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 Fund. 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
The Arrow Funds |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
January 31, 2024 |
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 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 a Fund.
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.
Market Risk – The net asset value of a 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 a 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 and 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.
Portfolio Turnover Risk – Portfolio turnover refers to the rate at which the securities held by a Fund is replaced. The higher the rate, the higher the transactional and brokerage costs associated with the turnover, which may reduce a Fund’s 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.
Swap Counterparty Credit Risk – Each Fund is subject to credit risk on the amount it expects 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.
Taxation Risk – By investing in commodities indirectly through a CFC, a Fund will obtain exposure to the commodities markets within the federal tax requirements that apply to the Fund. However, any income received from a CFC will be passed through to the relevant 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 its shareholders. Your cost of investing in a Fund will be higher because you indirectly bear the expenses of its CFC.
A summary of each Fund’s investments in its respective CFC are as follows:
| | | | | | | CFC Net Assets at | | | % of Total Net Assets at | |
| | | | Inception Date of CFC | | | January 31, 2024 | | | January 31, 2024 | |
| ADB-CFC | | | 12/5/2012 | | | $ | 1,920,660 | | | 5.90% | |
| ADT-CFC | | | 12/12/2011 | | | | 3,187 | | | 0.01% | |
| AMFS-CFC | | | 7/23/2010 | | | | 43,409,749 | | | 24.18% | |
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 – ADTBF and ADTMF intend to distribute substantially all of their net investment income at least annually and net capital gain annually.
The Arrow Funds |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
January 31, 2024 |
AMFSF intends to distribute substantially all of its investment income at least quarterly 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 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, 2020 – July 31, 2022, or expected to be taken in the Funds’ July 31, 2023 tax returns. The Funds identify their major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal and foreign jurisdictions where the Funds make significant investments. The Funds recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statement of Operations. For the six month ended January 31, 2024, the Funds did not incur any interest or penalties. 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

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
January 31, 2024 |
realized gains (losses) from foreign currency transactions in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. There were no forward currency contracts held during the six month ended January 31, 2024 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 its 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.
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 Statements 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
The Arrow Funds |
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued) |
January 31, 2024 |
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 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 Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). During the life of the agreement, there are periodic exchanges of cash flows in which the index receiver pays the SOFR-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 the 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.

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 six months ended January 31, 2024, 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 January 31, 2024.

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, mark-to-market on open futures, options and swap contracts, and undistributed long term capital gains from Form 2439.
Capital losses incurred after October 31 within the fiscal year are deemed to arise on the first business day of the following fiscal year for tax purposes. The Funds incurred and elected to defer such capital

| 12. | RECENT REGULATORY UPDATE |
On January 24, 2023, the SEC adopted rule and form amendments to require mutual funds and ETFs to transmit concise and visually engaging streamlined annual and semiannual reports to shareholders that highlight key information. Other information, including financial statements, will not appear in a streamlined shareholder report but must be available online, delivered free of charge upon request, and filed on a semiannual basis on Form N-CSR. The rule and form amendments have a compliance date of July 24, 2024. At this time, management is evaluating the impact of these amendments on the shareholder reports for the Funds.
Subsequent events after the date of the Consolidated Statements of Assets and Liabilities have been evaluated through the date the financial statements were issued.
Management has determined that no events or transactions occurred requiring adjustment or disclosure in the financial statements.

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited) |
January 31, 2024 |
As a shareholder of one or more of the Funds you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including sales charges (loads) on purchases, contingent deferred sales charges (CDSCs) and redemption fees and; (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 August 1, 2023 through January 31, 2024.
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.

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT
At a meeting held September 27, 2023 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) including the Trustees who are not “interested persons”, as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Arrow Investment Trust (the “Trust”), and Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Arrow DWA Tactical: Balanced Fund (the “Balanced Fund”), the Arrow DWA Tactical: Macro Fund (the “Macro Fund”), and the Arrow Managed Futures Strategy Fund (the “Managed Futures Fund”), (each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”).
The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved continuance of the Advisory Agreement based upon its review of the written materials provided at the Meeting, the reports provided at each quarterly meeting of the Board and the Board’s discussions with key personnel of the Adviser. In their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and individual Trustees may have attributed different weights to the various factors. Below is a summary of the Board’s conclusions regarding various factors relevant to approval of continuance of the Advisory Agreement:
Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. In considering the continuance of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent and quality of services that Arrow provided to Funds, including Arrow’s personnel and resources. The Board reviewed the services Arrow provided in serving as investment adviser and the backgrounds of the personnel providing services to the Funds, including portfolio managers. They also reviewed information provided regarding risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board acknowledged Arrow’s efforts and resources with respect to various regulatory initiatives, including with respect to derivatives and valuation. The Board also considered Arrow’s financial position. The Board concluded that the services Arrow provided were satisfactory.
Performance. The Board reviewed performance information that Arrow provided for the Funds compared to each Fund’s respective Benchmark Index, other relevant indexes, and a group of comparable funds selected by the Adviser (the “Peer Group”) for the year to date, one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods ended July 31, 2023, as applicable. The Board also received information on the construction of each Fund’s Peer Group.
Balanced Fund: The Board reviewed the Fund’s total returns compared to the total returns of its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index (Morningstar Global Flexible Allocation EW Index). The Board considered the performance of the Fund against its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index for the year to date, one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods. They noted that while the Fund slightly underperformed the Peer Group over the one-year period, it had outperformed the Peer groups averages over all other time periods reported. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Macro Fund: The Board reviewed the Fund’s total returns compared to the total returns of its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index (PCM Global Macro Index). The Board considered the performance of

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited)(Continued) |

the Fund against its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index for the year to date, one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods. They noted that while the Fund underperformed the Peer Group over the one-year period, it had performed well relative to the Peer groups averages over the three-and five-and ten-year periods. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Managed Futures Fund: The Board reviewed the Fund’s total returns compared to the total returns of its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index (Credit Suisse Managed Futures Liquid Index). The Board considered the performance of the Fund against its Peer Group and its Benchmark Index for the year to date, one-, three-, five-, ten-year and since inception periods. They noted that the Fund had significantly outperformed the Peer Group averages. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.
Fees and Expenses. The Board reviewed each Fund’s contractual advisory fee and expense ratio taking into account each Fund’s net asset size, and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and expense ratio to those of each Fund’s respective Peer Group and relevant Morningstar categories. The Board observed that the advisory fees were generally lower than the Peer Group averages. The Board discussed the level of work involved in management and oversight of the Funds and the other services that Arrow performed on behalf of the Funds. The Board also considered that with respect to the more complex Funds, these services were more resource intensive for Arrow. In light of the information provided and their deliberations, the Board concluded that each Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.
Profitability. The Board reviewed the profitability of Arrow with respect to Funds on an individual fund-by-fund basis and in the aggregate. The Board considered the methodology for calculating profitability. Using such methodology, the Board noted that Arrow earned a profit from the Balanced Fund, Macro Fund, and Managed Futures Fund, in each case without considering marketing related costs. The Board concluded that the profitability of Arrow in connection with the management of the Funds was not excessive given the nature, extent and quality of the services provided.
Economies of Scale. The Board considered whether Arrow realized economies of scale with respect to its management of the Funds. The Board noted no Fund had yet reached an asset level where Arrow could likely realize meaningful economies of scale. They considered the constraints on Fund growth, including market environment, limited access to platforms, Fund size. The Board observed that economies of scale would be considered in the future as Fund asset levels grow.
Fall-out Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Funds, Arrow and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board noted that an affiliate of the Adviser serves as underwriter of the Funds and receives modest compensation from Rule 12b-1 payments as a result.
Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that that the continuance of the Advisory Agreement be approved.
