The Fund’s performance figures* for the periods ended January 31, 2020, as compared to its benchmarks:

 

      Since Inception** -
  Six Months One Year January 31, 2020
Arrow DWA Country Rotation ETF - NAV 4.38% 5.79% (1.37)%
Arrow DWA Country Rotation ETF - Market Price 5.89% 5.21% (1.77)%
Dorsey Wright Country and Stock Momentum Total Return Index 6.57% 9.66% 1.69%
MSCI ACWI Ex USA Index USD 5.51% 10.50% 1.37%
MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index (IMI) USD 3.35% 3.96% (1.67)%

 

* The Fund’s 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 redeemed, 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 redemption 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 mutual fund 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 midpoint between the highest bid and the lowest offer 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 Price 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 is 1.68% per the December 1, 2019 prospectus. After fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the Fund’s total annual expenses are 0.95%. 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 commencement of operations on December 28, 2017.

 

Dorsey Wright Country and Stock Momentum Total Return Index is constructed pursuant to Dorsey, Wright & Associates proprietary methodology. The index has a relative strength focus that looks for the 10 strongest performing countries among a universe of 41 countries. Once the country is identified, the index methodology is designed to identify 10 companies that demonstrate powerful relative strength characteristics within that country. The Fund and the index are equally weighted and rebalanced and reconstituted quarterly.

 

The MSCI ACWI ex USA Index USD captures large and mid cap representation across 22 of 23 Developed Markets countries (excluding the US) and 26 Emerging Markets countries. With 2,215 constituents, the index covers approximately 85% of the global equity opportunity set outside the US.

 

The MSCI Emerging Markets Investable Market Index (IMI) USD captures large, mid and small cap representation across 26 Emerging Markets (EM) countries. With 2,831 constituents, the index covers approximately 99% of the free float-adjusted market capitalization in each country.

1. ORGANIZATION

 

The Arrow DWA Country Rotation ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Arrow Investments 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 long-term capital appreciation by tracking the investment results of the Dorsey Wright Country and Stock Momentum Index (the “Index”). The investment objective is non-fundamental. The Fund commenced operations on December 28, 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 (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. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods which include current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and based on methods which include the 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”), subject to review by the Board. The Board will review the fair value method in use for securities requiring a fair market value determination and supporting documentation from the Advisor at least quarterly for consistency with 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 Board 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.

Valuation of Fund of Funds – The Fund 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 NAVs 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 of 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 Fund will not change.

 

Exchange Traded Funds – The Fund 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 it holds, although the lack of liquidity on an ETF could result in it being more volatile. Additionally, ETFs have fees and expenses that reduce their value.

 

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 tables summarize the inputs used as of January 31, 2020 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

 

Assets *   Level 1     Level 2     Level 3     Total  
Common Stocks   $ 9,485,950     $     $     $ 9,485,950  
Preferred Stocks     355,262                   355,262  
Total     $ 9,841,212     $     $     $ 9,841,212  

 

The Fund did not hold any Level 3 securities during the period.

 

* See Portfolio of Investments for classification.

 

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 – Dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid quarterly. 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 of 1986, as amended, 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 the open tax years July 31, 2018 – July 31, 2019 or expected to be taken in the Fund’s July 31, 2020 tax returns. The Fund identified 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.

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.

 

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 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 maturity. However, some time deposits may be redeemable prior to maturity and may be subject to withdrawal penalties.

 

Emerging Markets Risk – In addition to all of the risks of investing in foreign developed markets, emerging market securities involve risks attendant to less mature and stable governments and economies, such as lower trading volume, trading suspension, security price volatility, repatriation restrictions, government confiscation, inflation, deflation, currency devaluation and adverse government regulations of industries or markets. As a result of these risks, the prices of emerging market securities tend to be more volatile than the securities of issuers located in developed markets.

 

Foreign Investment Risk – Returns on investments in foreign securities could be more volatile than, or trail the returns on, investments in U.S. securities. Exposures to foreign securities entail special risks, including risks due to: (i) differences in information available about foreign issuers; (ii) differences in investor protection standards in other jurisdictions; (iii) capital controls risks, including the risk of a foreign jurisdiction imposing restrictions on the ability to repatriate or transfer currency or other assets; (iv) political, diplomatic and economic risks; (v) regulatory risks; and (vi) foreign market and trading risks, including the costs of trading and risks of settlement in foreign jurisdictions. In addition, the Fund’s

15

 

ARROW DWA COUNTRY ROTATION ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)

investments in securities denominated in other currencies could decline due to changes in local currency relative to the value of the U.S. dollar, which may affect the Fund’s returns.

 

3. INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2020, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments), amounted to $12,042,935 and $13,443,349, respectively.

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2020, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions, amounted to $0 and $3,946,371, respectively.

 

4. INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT / 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 Northern Lights Distributors, LLC (“NLD” or 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.

 

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 0.70% of the Fund’s average daily net assets.

 

Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has agreed, at least until December 31, 2020 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 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 0.75% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. This amount will herein be 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 Expense Limitation, the Advisor, on a rolling three year basis (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

16

 

ARROW DWA COUNTRY ROTATION ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited) (Continued)
January 31, 2020
 

expense to exceed the Expense Limitation. Such expenses may only be reimbursed to the extent they were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement. The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.

 

If the Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the Expense Limitation, the reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. For the six months ended January 31, 2020, the Advisor waived and reimbursed fees in the amount of $63,451, pursuant to the Waiver Agreement.

 

The following amounts are subject to recapture by the Advisor by the following dates:

 

July 31, 2021 July 31, 2022
$   75,972 $   121,526

 

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.

 

Gemini Fund Services, LLC (“GFS”) – GFS, an affiliate of the Distributor, provides administration and fund accounting services to the Trust. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with GFS, the Fund pays GFS customary fees for providing administration and fund accounting services to the Fund. Certain officers of the Trust are also officers of GFS, and are not paid any fees directly by the Fund for serving in such capacities.

 

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) Blu Giant, an affiliate of GFS and the Distributor, 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 Funds.

 

Effective February 1, 2019, NorthStar Financial Services Group, LLC, the parent company of GFS and its affiliated companies including NLD and Northern Lights Compliance Services, 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.

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”). Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

 

The Transaction Fees for the Fund are listed in the table below:

 

Fixed Fee
$1,100

 

For the six months ended January 31, 2020, the Fund received $3,300 in fixed fees.

 

6. DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

The tax character of distributions paid during the following years/periods was as follows:

 

    Fiscal Year Ended     Fiscal Period Ended

As of July 31, 2019, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

 

Undistributed     Undistributed     Post October Loss     Capital Loss     Other           Total  
Ordinary     Long-Term     and     Carry     Book/Tax     Unrealized     Accumulated

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 Fund incurred and elected to defer such capital losses of $1,228,160

 

The Fund has capital loss carry forwards for federal income tax purposes available to offset future capital gains as follows:

 

      Non-Expiring     Non-Expiring

$     $ 1,288,025     $     $ 1,288,025     $  
                                     

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized appreciation and accumulated net realized gains from investments is attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

 

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily a result of realized gains (losses) on in-kind redemptions, resulted in reclassification for the year ended July 31, 2019 as follows:

EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
January 31, 2020
 

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur two types of costs: (1) transaction costs, including brokerage commissions on purchases and sales of Fund shares; (2) 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 mutual funds.

 

The example is based on an investment of $1,000 invested at the beginning of the period and held for the entire period from August 1, 2019 through January 31, 2020.

 

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, such as brokerage commissions paid on purchases and sales of Fund shares. 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 Expenses Paid
  Account Value Account Value During Period* During Period**
  8/1/19 1/31/2020 8/1/19 - 1/31/20 8/1/19 - 1/31/20
Actual $1,000.00 $1,043.80 $6.42 1.25%
Hypothetical $1,000.00 $1,018.85 $6.34 1.25%
(5% return before expenses)        

 

* Expenses are equal to the average account value over the period, multiplied by each Fund’s annualized expense ratio, multiplied by the number of days in the period (184) divided by the number of days in the fiscal year (366).

FACTORS CONSIDERED BY THE INDEPENDENT TRUSTEES IN APPROVING THE INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT

 

At an in person meeting held September 19, 2019 (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 Investments Trust (the “Trust”), and Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Adviser”) with respect to the Arrow DWA Country Rotation ETF (“Country Rotation ETF”) or (the “Fund”).

 

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 renewal of the Advisory Agreement, the Board considered the nature, extent, and quality of services that the Adviser provided to the Fund, including the Adviser’s personnel and resources, a description of the manner in which investment decisions are made and executed, and a review of the financial condition of Arrow. The Board reviewed the services the Adviser provided, including the backgrounds of the personnel that provided the investment management and related services. They also reviewed information provided regarding risk management and compliance and regulatory matters. The Board also considered the Adviser’s management of service provider relationships and oversight of sub-advisers.

 

The Board found that the Adviser had a strong culture of research and compliance at the firm and had demonstrated an ongoing commitment to analyzing various investment strategies in an effort to enhance returns to shareholders. Further, the Board considered the consistency of the Adviser’s team, which provided the Adviser with tremendous experience and intellectual capital. The Board concluded that the Adviser had sufficient quality and depth of personnel, resources, investment methodologies and compliance policies and procedures to perform its duties under the Advisory Agreement and that the nature, overall quality and extent of the management services provided by the Adviser to the Fund was satisfactory.

 

Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s total return compared to the total returns of a group of funds selected by the Adviser that employed similar investment strategies as the Fund (the “peer group”), benchmark index, and Morningstar category average.

 

Country Rotation ETF: The Board reviewed the Fund’s average total return compared to the average total returns of its peer group, Morningstar category average (Morningstar U.S. Fund Foreign Large Blend), and benchmark index (DWA Country & Stock Momentum Index). The Board noted that the Fund outperformed its benchmark index over the year-to-date and one-year periods. The Board also noted that the Fund outperformed its peer group and Morningstar category average over the one-year period. The Fund also performed in-line with its peer group and underperformed the Morningstar category average since the Fund’s inception. The Board considered the Adviser’s observation that the Fund’s

22

 

ARROW DWA COUNTRY ROTATION ETF
SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION (Unaudited) (Continued)
January 31, 2020
 

exposure to certain foreign markets, which declined meaningfully, generally detracted from performance. The Board also considered that the Adviser would continue to closely monitor performance. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

 

Advisory Fee. The Board reviewed the Fund’s advisory fee and expense ratio, taking into account the Fund’s average net assets, and reviewed information comparing the advisory fee and expense ratio to those of the Fund’s peer group and Morningstar category average. The Board discussed their duties to evaluate whether the advisory fee was not unreasonable. The Board noted that the Adviser’s fees are reasonably applied based on the nature of the Fund’s investment strategy. The Board noted that “alternative strategies” may generally require enhanced oversight compared to more traditional asset classes and that such additional cost may be evident in the level of the advisory fee. The Board discussed the level of work involved in the Adviser’s oversight of the Fund.

 

The Board noted that with respect to the Country Rotation ETF, the advisory fee was lower than the average of its peer group and Morningstar category, and the overall expense ratio was in a reasonable range.

 

In light of the nature, quality and extent of services the Adviser provided, the Board concluded that the Fund’s advisory fee was not unreasonable.

 

Economies of Scale. The Board considered the extent to which economies of scale would be realized as the Fund grows and whether fee levels reflect a reasonable sharing of economies of scale for the benefit of Fund investors. The Board noted the Fund had yet reached an asset level where the Adviser could realize meaningful economies of scale. The Board observed that economies of scale would be considered in the future as Fund asset levels grow.

 

Profitability. The Board also reviewed the profitability of the Adviser with respect to the Fund. The Board noted that the Adviser did not realize a profit in connection with the management of the Fund.

 

Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Fund, the Adviser and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board reviewed materials provided by the Adviser as to any such benefits.

 

Conclusion. Based on all of the information considered and the conclusions reached, the Board determined that the terms of the Advisory Agreement were fair and reasonable, and that the continuation of the Advisory Agreement was in the best interests of the Fund.
