PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)
July 31, 2019
 

The Fund’s performance figures* for the six months ended July 31, 2019, as compared to its benchmark:

 

          Annualized
      Annualized Annualized Since Inception** -
  Six Months One Year Three Years Five Years July 31, 2019
Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF - NAV 0.60% (1.61)% 1.73% (3.15)% 1.39%
Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF - Market Price (0.11)% (2.76)% 1.22% (3.43)% 0.86%
Dow Jones Global Composite Yield Index *** 1.51% (0.19)% 2.69% (2.19)% 2.33%

 

*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 a shareholder would pay on Fund distributions or on the redemptions 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 NAV is the value of one share of the Fund as calculated in accordance with the standard formula for valuing shares. The NAV return is based on the NAV of the Fund and the market return is based on the market price per share of the Fund. The price used to calculate market return (“Market Price”) is determined by using the 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. Since shares of the Fund did not trade in the secondary market until after the Fund’s inception, for the period from inception (5/2/2012) to the first day of secondary market trading shares of the Fund, the NAV of the Fund is used as a proxy for the Market Price to calculate market returns. Market and NAV returns assume that dividends and capital gain distributions have been reinvested in the Fund at Market Price and NAV, respectively. The Fund’s total annual operating expenses are 0.75% per the June 1, 2019 prospectus. Please see the Financial Highlights for a more recent expense ratio.

 

**Commencement of trading was May 8, 2012.

 

***The Dow Jones Global Composite Yield Index is constructed by equally weighting the five global high-yield index baskets, each of which is made up of 30 equally weighted components.

 

The Fund’s Top Asset Classes are as follows:

 

Asset Class      % of Net Assets 
Financials   27.7%
Energy   26.4%
Government   19.2%
Materials   6.2%

ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)
July 31, 2019
 
1.ORGANIZATION

 

The Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of shares of beneficial interest of Arrow ETF Trust (formerly Northern Lights ETF Trust) (the “Trust”), a statutory trust organized under the laws of the State of Delaware on August 29, 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 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 Standard Codification Topic 946 “Financial Services – Investment Companies” including FASB Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2013-08.

 

Securities valuation – Securities listed on an exchange are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the last bid price on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods 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.

ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2019
 

Short-term debt obligations having 60 days or less remaining until maturity, at time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

 

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 July 31, 2019 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

 

Assets *  Level 1   Level 2   Level 3   Total 
Bonds and Notes  $   $22,706,468   $   $22,706,468 
Common Stocks   24,606,040            24,606,040 
Master Limited Partnerships   10,213,123            10,213,123 
Total   $34,819,163   $22,706,468   $   $57,525,631 

 

These amendments have been adopted with these financial statements.

 

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

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2019
 

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 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, 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.

 

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. Of the roughly ninety MLPs in existence, fifty are eligible for inclusion in the Alerian MLP Index, approximately two-thirds trade on the NYSE and the rest trade on the NASDAQ. To qualify as a 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. 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

14

 

ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2019
 

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.

 

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 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. 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, 2016 to January 31, 2019, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s January 31, 2020 year-end tax returns. The Fund identified its major tax jurisdictions as U.S. federal, Nebraska 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.

15

 

ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2019
 

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.

 

3.INVESTMENT TRANSACTIONS

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2019, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments), amounted to $28,916,172 and $29,616,695 respectively.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2019, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions, amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

 

4.INVESTMENT ADVISORY AGREEMENT AND TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PARTIES

 

The business activities of the Fund are overseen by the Board, which is responsible for the overall management of the Fund. The Advisor serves as the Fund’s investment advisor pursuant to an investment advisory agreement with the Trust (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 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 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.

 

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 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.

16

 

ARROW DOW JONES GLOBAL YIELD ETF
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)(Continued)
July 31, 2019
 

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 Fund. Pursuant to separate servicing agreements with GFS, the Advisor, on behalf of 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 Trust 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 Advisor, on behalf of the Fund.

 

On 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 (“NLCS”)(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 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”). Transactions in capital shares for the Fund are disclosed in the Statement of Changes in Net Assets.

 

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.

 

For the six months ended July 31, 2019, the Fund received $3,170 and $6,342 in fixed fees and variable fees, respectively. Fixed Fees were used to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund.

 

6.DISTRIBUTIONS TO SHAREHOLDERS AND TAX COMPONENTS OF CAPITAL

 

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

 

   Fiscal Year Ended   Fiscal Year Ended 
   January 31, 2019      January 31, 2018 
Ordinary Income  $2,991,225   $3,859,162 
Return of Capital   2,193,188    2,498,153 
   $5,184,413   $6,357,315 
           

As of January 31, 2019, 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/   Accumulated 
Income   Gains   Late Year Loss   Forwards   Differences   (Depreciation)   Earnings/(Deficit) 
$   $   $(791,561)  $(64,375,753)  $   $(4,074,774)  $(69,242,088)

 

The difference between book basis and tax basis unrealized depreciation, 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 real estate investment trusts, partnerships and C-Corporation and return of capital distributions.

 

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 $791,561.

Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF
EXPENSE EXAMPLES (Unaudited)
July 31, 2019
 

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 a unitary management fee 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 February 1, 2019 through July 31, 2019.

 

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 Ratio 
   Account Value   Account Value   During Period*   During Period** 
   2/1/2019   7/31/2019   2/1/19 - 7/31/19   2/1/19 - 7/31/19 
Actual  $1,000.00   $1,006.00   $3.73    0.75%
Hypothetical                    
(5% return before expenses)  $1,000.00   $1,021.08   $3.76    0.75%
                     
*“Actual” expense information for the Fund is for the period from February 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019. Actual expenses are equal to the Fund’s annualized net expense ratio multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the period from February 1, 2019 to July 31, 2019). “Hypothetical” expense information for the Fund is presented on the basis of the full one-half year period to enable comparison to other funds. It is based on assuming the same net expense ratio and average account value over the period, but it is multiplied by 181/365 (to reflect the full half-year period).
