ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
July 31, 2024
The Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Arrow ETF Trust (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 29, 2011 and 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 investment results that generally correspond (before fees and expenses) to the price and yield performance of the Dow Jones Global Yield Index (the “Index”). The investment objective is non-fundamental. The Fund commenced operations on May 2, 2012.
| 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”.
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, as the Board designated Valuation Designee, and in accordance with the Trust’s Portfolio Securities Valuation Procedures (the “Procedures”). 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 time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.
ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2024
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, 2024 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

In accordance with the Fund’s investment objectives, the Fund may have increased or decreased exposure to one or more of the following risk factors defined below:
Real Estate Investment Trust Risk (REIT) – Investments in securities of real estate companies involve risks including, among others, adverse changes in national, state or local real estate conditions; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds; and the impact of changes in environmental laws. The value of a REIT can depend on the structure of and cash flow generated by the REIT. In addition, like mutual funds, externally managed REITs have expenses, including advisory and administration fees, which are paid by their shareholders. Further, the failure of a company to qualify as a REIT or comply with applicable federal tax requirements could have adverse consequences for the Fund, including significantly reducing return to the Fund on its investment. REITs determine the characterization of their income annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain.
Master Limited Partnerships – The Fund invests in master limited partnerships (“MLPs”) which are publicly traded partnerships engaged in, among other things, the transportation, storage and processing of minerals and natural resources, and are treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes. By confining their operations to these specific activities, their interests, or units, are able to trade on public securities exchanges exactly like the shares of a corporation, without entity level taxation. To qualify as an MLP and to not be taxed as a corporation, a partnership must receive at least 90% of its income from qualifying sources as set forth in Section 7704(d) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”). These qualifying sources include natural resource based activities such as the processing, transportation and storage of mineral or natural resources. MLPs generally have two classes of owners, the general partner and limited partners. The general partner of an MLP is typically owned by a major energy company, an investment fund, the direct management of the MLP, or is an entity owned by one or more of such parties. The general partner may be structured as a private or publicly traded corporation or other entity. The general partner typically controls the operations and management of the MLP through an up to 2% equity interest in the MLP plus, in many cases, ownership of common units and subordinated units. Limited partners

typically own the remainder of the partnership, through ownership of common units, and have a limited role in the partnership’s operations and management.
MLPs are typically structured such that common units and general partner interests have first priority to receive quarterly cash distributions up to an established minimum amount (“minimum quarterly distributions” or “MQD”). Common and general partner interests also accrue arrearages in distributions to the extent the MQD is not paid. Once common and general partner interests have been paid, subordinated units receive distributions of up to the MQD; however, subordinated units do not accrue arrearages. Distributable cash in excess of the MQD is paid to both common and subordinated units and is distributed to both common and subordinated units generally on a pro rata basis. The general partner is also eligible to receive incentive distributions if the general partner operates the business in a manner which results in distributions paid per common unit surpassing specified target levels. As the general partner increases cash distributions to the limited partners, the general partner receives an increasingly higher percentage of the incremental cash distributions. MLPs determine the characterization of their income annually and may characterize a portion of their distributions as a return of capital or capital gain.
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.
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. Monthly distributions in excess of ordinary taxable income are treated as returns of capital. Dividends and distributions to shareholders are recorded on the ex-dividend date.
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.

Withholding taxes on foreign dividends have been provided for in accordance with the Fund’s understanding of the applicable country’s tax rules and rates.
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, 2021 to January 31, 2023, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s January 31, 2024 year-end tax returns. The Fund identifies its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, and foreign jurisdictions where the Fund makes significant investments. The Fund recognizes interest and penalties, if any, related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expenses, in the Statement of Operations. For the year ended January 31, 2024, the Fund did not incur any interest or penalties. 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.
Foreign Currency – The accounting records of the Fund 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, gains and losses on the purchase and sale of foreign currencies 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. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from changes in foreign exchange rates on investments are not isolated from changes in the valuation of securities held.
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.

| 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 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 Archer Distributors, LLC (the “Distributor”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. Archer Distributors, LLC, an affiliate of the Advisor is also a party to the Distribution Agreement and provides marketing services to the Fund, including responsibility for all the Fund’s marketing and advertising materials. The Distributor does not receive any compensation from the Advisor for providing services.
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 unitary management fee, computed and accrued daily and paid monthly, at an annual rate of 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. For the six months ended July 31, 2024, the Fund incurred $81,782 in advisory fees.
The Advisor’s unitary management fee is designed to pay the Fund’s expenses and to compensate the Advisor for providing services for the Fund. Out of the unitary management fee, the Advisor pays substantially all expenses of the Fund, including the costs of transfer agency, custody, fund administration, legal, audit and other services and Independent Trustees’ fees, except for payment of advisory fees, acquired fund fees and expenses, payments under the Fund’s 12b-1 plan, brokerage expenses, taxes, interest (including borrowing costs and dividend expenses on securities sold short), litigation expense and other extraordinary expenses (including litigation to which the Trust or the Fund may be a party and indemnification of the Trustees and officers with respect thereto). The Advisor, and not the Fund’s shareholders, would benefit from any reduction in fees paid for third-party services, including reductions based on increases in net assets.
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. 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 Fund. Pursuant to a separate servicing agreement with UFS, the Advisor, on behalf of 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 Advisor, on behalf of 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 75,000 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 Depository Trust Company 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”). Purchases and redemptions of Creation Units for cash or involving cash-in-lieu are required to pay an additional variable charge to compensate the Fund and its ongoing shareholders for brokerage and market impact expenses relating to Creation Unit transactions (“Variable Charge,” and together with the Fixed Fee, the “Transaction Fees”). Transaction Fees may be used to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund.
The Transaction Fees for the Fund are listed in the table below:
Fixed Fee | Variable Charge |
$3,170 | 2.00%* |
| * | The maximum Transaction Fee may be up to 2.00% of the amount invested. |
| 6. | DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL |
Dividends received by the Fund are allocated between investment income, capital gains and return of capital based on estimates. Such estimates are based on information provided by each portfolio company and other industry sources. These estimates may subsequently be revised based on actual allocations received from the portfolio companies after final tax reporting information is received. The return of capital portion of the dividends is a reduction to investment income that results in an equivalent reduction in the cost basis of the associated investments.

As of January 31, 2024, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:
Undistributed | | | Undistributed | | | Post October Loss | | | Capital Loss | | | Other | | | Unrealized | | | Total | |
Ordinary | | | Long-Term | | | and | | | Carry | | | Book/Tax | | | Appreciation/ | | | Distributable Earnings/ | |

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation, accumulated net investment income (loss) and accumulated net realized loss from investments and foreign currency transactions is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales, mark-to-market on passive foreign investment companies, and tax adjustments for partnerships and C-Corporation return of capital distributions. The unrealized appreciation (depreciation) in the table above includes unrealized foreign currency losses of $(103,826).
At January 31, 2024, the Fund had capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:
Short-Term | | | Long-Term | | | Total | | | CLCF Utilized | |
