Portfolio Managers. The following individuals are primarily responsible for the day-to-day management of the Fund’s portfolio:

Purchase and Redemption of Fund Shares 

Individual Shares may only be purchased and sold in secondary market transactions through a broker dealer. Because ETF shares trade at market prices rather than net asset value, Shares may trade at a price greater than net asset value (premium) or less than net asset value (discount). Investors may incur costs attributable to the difference between the highest price a buyer is willing to pay to purchase shares of the Fund (bid) and the lowest price a seller is willing to accept for shares of the Fund (ask) when buying or selling shares in the secondary market (the “bid-ask spread”). Recent information, including information regarding the fund's NAV, market price, premiums and discounts, and bid-ask spread, is available athttps://arrowfunds.com/.

Tax Information 

The Fund’s distributions are generally taxable as ordinary income or capital gains. A sale of Shares may result in capital gain or loss.

Payments to Broker-Dealers and Other Financial Intermediaries 

Investors purchasing shares in the secondary market through a brokerage account or with the assistance of a broker may be subject to brokerage commissions and charges. If you purchase Shares through a broker-dealer or other financial intermediary (such as a bank), the Fund and its related companies may pay the intermediary for the sale of Shares and related services. These payments may create a conflict of interest by influencing the broker-dealer or other intermediary and your salesperson to recommend the Fund over another investment. Ask your salesperson or visit your financial intermediary’s website for more information.

Investment Objective 

The Fund seeks investment results that generally correspond, before fees and expenses, to the price and yield performance of the Index. The Fund’s investment objective is a non-fundamental policy and may be changed without shareholder approval by the Trust’s Board of Trustees upon 60 days’ written notice to shareholders.

Principal Investment Strategies 

The Advisor seeks correlation over time of 0.95 or better between the Fund’s performance and the performance of the Index; a figure of 1.00 would represent perfect correlation.

Although the Advisor intends for the Fund to replicate the Index, the Fund may employ representative sampling to achieve its investment objective. In particular, the Fund may use representative sampling when securities in the Index are not available in the quantities needed by the Fund, when any security in the Index is subjecting to trading in round lots that are too large for inclusion in the basket of in-kind securities deposited for a Creation Unit, and until the Fund achieves scale.

The Fund invests at least 80% of its total assets in the components of the Index and up to 20% of its assets in instruments that are not component securities of the Index, if the Advisor believes that such instruments will help the Fund to track its Index. For example, provided that the Fund continues to invest at least 80% of its total assets in the components of the Index and the Advisor believes it will help the Fund to track its Index, the Fund may invest in securities not included in the Index, other ETFs and money market instruments, including repurchase agreements or other funds which invest exclusively in money market instruments (subject to applicable limitations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the “1940 Act”), or rules under the 1940 Act). Further, the Fund may sell securities included in its Index in anticipation of their removal from the Index, purchase securities not included in the Index in anticipation of their addition to the Index and/or hold a security no longer included in the Index. The Advisor anticipates that it may take approximately three business days (a business day is any day that the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) is open) for the Advisor to reflect fully the additions and deletions to the Index in the portfolio composition of the Fund.

The Fund will not implement a temporary defensive strategy to protect it against potential securities market declines.

The Index uses rules-based criteria to select and identify the highest yielding securities within a range of asset classes determined in accordance with the Index’s methodologies from a universe of foreign and domestic securities. The Index is based on five sub-indexes. These sub-indexes, together, comprise the Index and include (1) common stock, preferred stock and depositary receipts, (2) real-estate related investments, including REITs, (3) investment grade and non-investment grade corporate bonds,
(4) energy-related investments, including preferred stock of energy companies, royalty trusts and MLPs, and (5) sovereign debt securities.

The five sub-indexes are:

Each sub-index may include both foreign and domestic issuers. The equity, real estate and energy sub-indexes may include issues from the following different countries as maintained by the index provider, S&P Dow Jones Indexes: Australia, Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, Chile, Colombia, Czech Republic, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hong Kong, Hungary, Iceland, India, Indonesia, Ireland, Israel, Italy, Japan, Luxembourg, Malaysia, Mexico, Morocco, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Peru, Philippines, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Taiwan, Thailand, Turkey and United States of America. The equity, real estate and energy sub-indexes also include securities of Chinese issuers that are trading other than in mainland China. The sovereign and corporate debt sub-indexes include issues from the same countries as the equity, real estate and energy sub-indexes and also include issues from Panama. For more information about the indexes, please see www.spdji.com.

Each sub-index represents, at each quarterly rebalancing and reconstitution of the Index, 20% of the Index; that percentage fluctuates in between quarterly rebalancing.

Each of the sub-indexes in the Index is rebalanced quarterly and its components are re-weighted at that time. The equity, real estate and energy sub-indexes are reconstituted annually. The corporate and sovereign debt sub-indexes are reconstituted quarterly. Each sub-index has a different investment universe and selection criteria, determined in accordance with pre-determined methodologies maintained by the sub-index providers. At rebalance and reconstitution dates, each sub-index selects 30 securities for inclusion in the Index. The combination of the five sub-indexes results in the Index normally having 150 components.

The sub-indexes include liquidity screens that are designed to make them investable. The MLP sub-index also includes a screen that excludes from the universe of eligible MLPs those investing in the financial services industry.

The sub-indexes may be subject to quarterly reviews by their providers. In connection with such reviews, if a component security has exhibited significant negative dividend growth or negative earnings from continuing operations over the past twelve-month period, the security may be removed from the sub-index by the provider. Component securities are also reviewed monthly and may be removed from a sub-index during a month if the company eliminates its dividend, or lowers, but does not eliminate, its dividend in certain circumstances. In addition, component securities may be immediately removed from a sub-index if the company is affected by a corporate action (i.e. delisting or bankruptcy). The removal of a security from a sub-index would result also in its removal from the Index. In these instances, the removed security is replaced by another security in the same sub-index before the quarter end if the constituent count of the sub-index falls below 25 stocks between quarterly rebalancing.

The methodology of the Index is published by the index provider on the index provider’s website, at https://www.spglobal.com/spdji/en/documents/methodologies/methodology-dj-global-composite-yield.pdf.

Principal Investment Risks

The following provides additional information about the principal risks identified under “Principal Investment Risks” and other risks applicable to the Fund.

• Concentration Risk: A significant percentage of the Index may be comprised of issuers in a single industry or group of industries. If the Fund is focused in an industry or group of industries, the value of Shares may rise and fall more than the value of shares of funds that invest in a broader range of securities.
• Counterparty Risk: The Fund may invest in financial instruments involving counterparties for the purpose of attempting to gain exposure to a particular group of securities or asset class without actually purchasing those securities or investments. These financial instruments may include swap agreements and structured notes. The use of swap agreements and other counterparty instruments involves risks that are different from those associated with ordinary portfolio securities transactions. For example, the Fund bears the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. Swap agreements and other counterparty instruments also may be considered to be illiquid. In addition, the Fund may enter into swap agreements that involve a limited number of counterparties, which may increase the Fund’s exposure to counterparty credit risk. The Fund does not specifically limit its counterparty risk with respect to any single counterparty. Further, there is a risk that no suitable counterparties will be willing to enter into, or continue to enter into, transactions with the Fund and, as a result, the Fund may not be able to achieve its investment objective.
• Currency Risk: Currency risk is the potential for price fluctuations in the dollar value of foreign securities because of changing currency exchange rates. Because the Fund’s NAV is determined on the basis of U.S. dollars, the Fund may lose money if the local currency of a foreign market depreciates against the U.S. dollar, even if the local currency value of the Fund’s holdings goes up.
• Early Close/Trading Halt Risk: An exchange or market may close or issue trading halts on specific securities, or the ability to buy or sell certain securities or financial instruments may be restricted, which may prevent the Fund from buying or selling certain securities or financial instruments. In these circumstances, the Fund may be unable to rebalance its portfolio, may be unable to accurately price its investments and may incur substantial trading losses.
• Equity Securities Risk: The value of the Fund’s stock holdings may decline in price because of changes in prices of its holdings or a broad stock market decline. These fluctuations could be a sustained trend or a drastic movement. The stock markets generally move in cycles, with periods of rising prices followed by periods of declining prices. The value of the Fund may reflect these fluctuations.

• Common Stock Risk: Common stocks may decline significantly in price over short or extended periods of time. Price changes may occur in the market as a whole, or they may occur in only a particular company, industry, country or sector of the market. Common stock is subordinate to preferred stock upon the liquidation or bankruptcy of the issuing company.

• Fixed-Income Securities Risk: Fixed-income securities are subject to special risks, including interest rate risk, credit risk and prepayment risk.

• Interest Rate Risk: Interest rate risk is the risk that fixed income securities will decline in value because of changes in interest rates. Generally, the value of debt securities falls as interest rates rise. Fixed income securities differ in their sensitivities to changes in interest rates. Fixed income securities with longer effective durations tend to be more sensitive to changes in interest rates, usually making them more volatile than securities with shorter effective durations.
• Credit Risk: Credit risk is the risk that the inability or perceived inability of an issuer to make interest and principal payments will cause the value of its securities to decrease, and cause the Fund a loss. If an issuer’s financial health deteriorates, it may result in a reduction of the credit rating of the issuer’s securities and may lead to the issuer’s inability to honor its obligations, including making timely payment of interest and principal. Although a downgrade of a bond’s credit ratings may not affect its price, a decline in credit quality may make bonds less attractive, thereby increasing the yield on the bond and driving down the price. Declines in credit quality can result in bankruptcy for the issuer and permanent loss of investment. The fixed income securities held by the Fund are subject to the risk that the issuer will be unwilling or unable to satisfy its obligations to the Fund, including the periodic payment of interest or the payment of principal upon maturity. Rating agencies are private services that provide ratings of the credit quality of fixed income securities.

Ratings assigned by a rating agency are not absolute standards of credit quality and do not evaluate market risks. Rating agencies may fail to make timely changes in credit ratings and an issuer’s current financial condition may be better or worse than a rating indicates. Further, rating agencies may end coverage of a previously-rated security. Unrated securities may be less liquid than comparable rated securities.

• Prepayment Risk: Prepayment risk is the risk that issuers of callable securities with high interest coupons prepay (or “call”) their bonds before their maturity date due to falling interest rates. If a call were exercised by the issuer during a period of declining interest rates, the Fund is likely to have to replace such called security with a lower yielding security. If that were to happen, it would decrease the Fund’s net investment income.

• Foreign and Emerging Markets Risk: Foreign investments involve special risks not present in U.S. investments that can increase the chances that the Fund will lose money. These risks are higher for emerging markets investments, which can be subject to greater social, economic, regulatory and political uncertainties. In particular, investments in, or exposure to, foreign securities involve the following risks:

o    The economies of some foreign markets often do not compare favorably with that of the U.S. in areas such as growth of gross domestic product, reinvestment of capital, resources, and balance of payments. Some of these economies may rely heavily on particular industries or foreign capital.

They may be more vulnerable to adverse diplomatic developments, the imposition of economic sanctions against a country, changes in international trading patterns, trade barriers and other protectionist or retaliatory measures.

o    Other foreign market risks include foreign exchange controls, difficulties in pricing securities, defaults on foreign government securities, difficulties in enforcing favorable legal judgments in foreign courts, and political and social instability. Legal remedies available to investors in some foreign countries are less extensive than those available to investors in the U.S. Many foreign governments supervise and regulate stock exchanges, brokers and the sale of securities less than the U.S. government does. Corporate governance may not be as robust as in more developed countries. As a result, protections for minority investors may not be strong, which could affect security prices.

o    Accounting standards in other countries are not necessarily the same as in the U.S. If the accounting standards in another country do not require as much disclosure or detail as U.S. accounting standards, it may be harder to assess a company’s financial condition.

o    Because there are usually fewer investors on foreign exchanges and smaller numbers of shares traded each day, it may be difficult for the Fund to buy and sell securities on those exchanges. In addition, prices of foreign securities may go up and down more than prices of securities traded in the U.S.

o    Changes in currency exchange rates will affect the value of the Fund’s foreign holdings or exposures.

o    The costs of foreign securities transactions tend to be higher than those of U.S. transactions, increasing the transaction costs paid by the Fund.

o    International trade barriers or economic sanctions against foreign countries may adversely affect the Fund’s foreign holdings or exposures.

The potentially smaller size of their securities markets and lower trading volumes can make investments relatively illiquid and potentially more volatile than investments in developed countries, and such securities may be subject to abrupt and severe price declines. Due to this relative lack of liquidity, the Fund may have to accept a lower price or may not be able to sell a portfolio security at all. An inability to sell a portfolio position can adversely affect the Fund’s value or prevent the Fund from being able to meet cash obligations or take advantage of other investment opportunities.

The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years, such as terrorist attacks around the world, natural disasters, social and political discord or debt crises and downgrades, among others, may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. It is difficult to predict when similar events affecting the U.S. or global financial markets may occur, the effects that such events may have and the duration of those effects. Any such event(s) could have a significant adverse impact on the value and risk profile of the Fund’s portfolio. The 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, 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. Therefore, the Fund could lose money over short periods due to short-term market movements and over longer periods during more prolonged market downturns. During a general market downturn, multiple asset classes may be negatively affected. Changes in market conditions and interest rates can have the same impact on all types of securities and instruments. In times of severe market disruptions you could lose your entire investment.

Available cash will also depend on an MLPs’ level of operating costs (including incentive distributions to its general partner), level of capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisition costs (if any), fluctuations in working capital needs, and other factors. The Fund expects to generate significant investment income, and the Fund’s investments may not distribute the expected or anticipated levels of cash, resulting in the risk that the Fund may not have the ability to make cash distributions as investors expect from MLP-focused investments.

• REIT Risk: 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.

• RIC Qualification Risk: To qualify for treatment as a RIC under the Code, the Fund must meet certain income source, asset diversification and annual distribution requirements. The Fund’s MLP investments may make it more difficult for the Fund to meet these requirements. The asset diversification requirements include a requirement that, at the end of each quarter of each taxable year, not more than 25% of the value of the Fund’s total assets is invested in the securities (including debt securities) of one or more qualified publicly traded partnerships; the Fund anticipates that the MLPs in which it invests will be qualified publicly traded partnerships. If the Fund’s MLP investments exceed this 25% limitation, then the Fund would not satisfy the diversification requirements and could fail to qualify as a RIC.

If, in any taxable year, the Fund fails to qualify as a RIC for any reason, the Fund would be taxed as an ordinary corporation and would become (or remain) subject to corporate income tax. The resulting corporate taxes could substantially reduce the Fund’s net assets, the amount of income available for distribution and the amount of our distributions.

• Royalty Trust Risk: An investment in units of a royalty trust is not the equivalent of owning shares in a corporation, as unitholders do not have the statutory rights normally associated with owning shares in a corporation. Investments in royalty trusts will have varying degrees of risk depending on the sector and the underlying assets. They will also be subject to general risks associated with business cycles, commodity prices, interest rates, and other economic factors. Typically, royalty trusts are more volatile than fixed-income securities and preferred shares. The value of royalty trust units may decline significantly if they are unable to meet distribution targets. To the extent that claims against a royalty trust are not satisfied by the trust, investors in the trust (including the Fund if it is an investor in the Trust) could be held responsible for those claims. Certain, but not all, jurisdictions have enacted legislation to protect investors from some of this liability. Royalty trusts may be subject to certain risks associated with a decline in demand for crude oil, natural gas and refined petroleum products, which, in turn, could adversely affect income and royalty trust revenues and cash flows. Factors that could lead to a decrease in market demand include a recession or other adverse economic conditions, an increase in the market price of the underlying commodity, higher taxes or other regulatory actions that increase costs, or a shift in consumer demand for such products. A rising interest rate environment could adversely impact the performance of royalty trusts. Rising interest rates could limit the capital appreciation of royalty trusts because of the increased availability of alternative investments at more competitive yields.
• Sampling Risk: The Fund’s use of a representative sampling approach, if used, could result in its holding a smaller number of securities than are in the Index. As a result, an adverse development with an issuer of securities held by the Fund could result in a greater decline in NAV than would be the case if the Fund held all of the securities in the Index. To the extent the assets in the Fund are smaller, these risks will be greater.
• Sector Risk: Each sector of the Index is subject to the additional risks associated with concentrating its investments in companies in the market sector, and the Fund is subject to these risks as well. Additional underlying sector specific risks include:

• Real Estate Sector. The Fund invests in companies in the real estate sector, including REITs. Therefore, the Fund is subject to the risks associated with investing in real estate, which may include, but are not limited to, possible declines in the value of real estate, adverse changes in national, state or local real estate conditions; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funds (including changes in interest rates), the impact of changes in environmental laws, overbuilding in a real estate company’s market, and environmental problems. Because REIT’s have ongoing fees and expenses, which may include management, operating and administration expenses, REIT shareholders including the Fund, will indirectly bear a proportionate share of those expenses in addition to the expenses of the Fund.
• Oils/Energy Sector. The profitability of companies in the oils/energy sector is related to worldwide energy prices, exploration, and production spending. These companies also are subject to risks of changes in exchange rates, government regulation, world events, depletion of resources and economic conditions, as well as market, economic and political risks of the countries where energy companies are located or do business. Oil and gas exploration and production can be significantly affected by natural disasters. Oil exploration and production companies may be adversely affected by changes in exchange rates, interest rates, government regulation, world events, and economic conditions. Oil exploration and production companies may be at risk for environmental damage claims.

• Small and Medium Capitalization Company Risk: Investing in securities of small and medium capitalization companies involves greater risk than is customarily associated with investing in larger, more established companies. These companies’ securities may be more volatile and less liquid than those of more established companies. These companies may be more dependent on single products or key personnel, and may be newer than larger, more established companies with less information to evaluate.
• Sovereign Debt Securities Risk: A sovereign debtor’s willingness or ability to repay principal and pay interest in a timely manner may be affected by, among other factors, its cash flow situation, the extent of its foreign currency reserves, the availability of sufficient foreign exchange, the relative size of the debt service burden, the sovereign debtor’s policy toward principal international lenders and local political constraints. Sovereign debtors may also be dependent on expected disbursements from foreign governments, multilateral agencies and other entities to reduce principal and interest arrearages on their debt. The failure of a sovereign debtor to implement economic reforms, achieve specified levels of economic performance or repay principal or interest when due may result in the cancellation of third-party commitments to lend funds to the sovereign debtor, which may further impair such debtor’s ability or willingness to service its debts.

Portfolio Holdings Information 

A description of the Trust’s policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the Fund’s portfolio holdings is available in the Fund’s Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), which is available at www.ArrowFunds.com.

Cybersecurity

The computer systems, networks and devices used by the Fund and its service providers to carry out routine business operations employ a variety of protections designed to prevent damage or interruption from computer viruses, network failures, computer and telecommunication failures, infiltration by unauthorized persons and security breaches. Despite the various protections utilized by the Fund and its service providers, systems, networks, or devices potentially can be breached. The Fund and its shareholders could be negatively impacted as a result of a cybersecurity breach.

Cybersecurity breaches can include unauthorized access to systems, networks, or devices; infection from computer viruses or other malicious software code; and attacks that shut down, disable, slow, or otherwise disrupt operations, business processes, or website access or functionality. Cybersecurity breaches may cause disruptions and impact the Fund’s business operations, potentially resulting in financial losses; interference with the Fund’s ability to calculate its NAV; impediments to trading; the inability of the Fund, the Advisor, and other service providers to transact business; violations of applicable privacy and other laws; regulatory fines, penalties, reputational damage, reimbursement or other compensation costs, or additional compliance costs; as well as the inadvertent release of confidential information.

Similar adverse consequences could result from cybersecurity breaches affecting issuers of securities in which the Fund invests; counterparties with which the Fund engages in transactions; governmental and other regulatory authorities; exchange and other financial market operators, banks, brokers, dealers, insurance companies, and other financial institutions (including financial intermediaries and service providers for the Fund’s shareholders); and other parties. In addition, substantial costs may be incurred by these entities in order to prevent any cybersecurity breaches in the future.

Management of the Fund 

Investment Advisor 

Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC, located at 6100 Chevy Chase Drive, Suite 100, Laurel MD 20707, serves as the Fund’s investment advisor. Subject to the oversight of the Board of Trustees, the Advisor is responsible for the overall management of the Fund’s business affairs. The Advisor is responsible for selecting the Fund’s investments according to the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions. The Advisor was established in February 2006. The Advisor has approximately $400.3 million in assets under management as of December 31, 2022. The Advisor has been managing the Fund since its inception.

Pursuant to an Investment Advisory Agreement, the Fund pays the Advisor a unitary management fee equal to 0.75% of its average daily net assets. From time to time, the Advisor may waive all or a portion of its fee. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023, the Fund paid 0.75% of its average net assets to the Advisor.

The Advisor’s unitary management fee is designed to pay the Fund’s expenses and to compensate the Advisor for providing service 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 Fund shareholders, would benefit from any reduction in fees paid for third-party services, including reductions based on increases in assets.

A discussion regarding the Board of Trustee’s basis for approving the Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to the Fund is available in the annual report to shareholders for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2023.

Net Asset Value 

The Fund’s NAV and offering price (NAV plus any applicable sales charges) is determined at the close of regular trading on the Exchange (normally 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time) on each day the Exchange is open (the “Valuation Time”). NAV is computed by determining the aggregate market value of all assets of the Fund, less its liabilities, divided by the total number of shares outstanding ((assets-liabilities)/number of shares = NAV). The Exchange is closed on weekends and New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day. The NAV takes into account the expenses and fees of the Fund, including management, administration, and distribution fees, which are accrued daily. The determination of NAV for the Fund for a particular day is applicable to all applications for the purchase of shares, as well as all requests for the redemption of shares, received by the Fund (or an authorized broker or agent, or its authorized designee) before the close of trading on the Exchange on that day. All valuations are subject to review by the Board of Trustees or its valuation designee.

Generally, the Fund’s securities are valued each day at the last quoted sales price on each security’s primary exchange. Securities traded or dealt in upon one or more securities exchanges (whether domestic or foreign) for which market quotations are readily available and not subject to restrictions against resale shall be valued at the last quoted sales price on the primary exchange or, in the absence of a sale on the primary exchange, at the current bid price on such exchange. Money market securities maturing in 60 days or less will be valued at amortized cost. Securities that are not traded or dealt in any securities exchange (whether domestic or foreign) and for which over-the-counter market quotations are readily available generally shall be valued at last sale price or, in the absence of a sale, at the current bid price on such over-the-counter market. Debt securities not traded on an exchange may be valued at prices supplied by a pricing agent(s) based on broker or dealer supplied valuations or matrix pricing, a method of valuing securities by reference to the value of other securities with similar characteristics, such as rating, interest rate and maturity. If market quotations are not readily available, securities will be valued at their fair market value as determined using the “fair value” procedures approved by the Board of Trustees. The Board of Trustees has selected the Advisor as its valuation designee. 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. Any use of a different rate from the rates used by each Index Provider may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to track its Index.

The Fund may use independent pricing services to assist in calculating the value of the Fund’s securities. Securities traded on a foreign exchange which has not closed by the Valuation Time or for which the official closing prices are not available at the time the NAV is determined may use alternative market prices provided by a pricing service. Prices of foreign securities quoted in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at current rates. Even when market quotations are available, they may be stale or unreliable because the security is not traded frequently, trading on the security ceased before the close of the trading market or issuer specific events occurred after the security ceased trading or because of the passage of time between the close of the market on which the security trades and the close of the Exchange and when the Fund calculates its NAV. Issuer-specific events may cause the last market quotation to be unreliable. These events may include a merger or insolvency, events which affect a geographical area or an industry segment, such as political events or natural disasters, or market events, such as a significant movement in the U.S. market. Where market quotations are not readily available, including where the Advisor determines that the closing price of the security is unreliable, the Adviser will value the security at fair value in good faith using procedures approved by the Board. Fair value pricing involves subjective judgments and it is possible that a fair value determination for a security is materially different than the value that could be realized upon the sale of the security. In addition, fair value pricing could result in a difference between the prices used to calculate the Fund’s NAV and the prices used by the Index. This may adversely affect the Fund’s ability to track the Index.

Premium/Discount Information 

Investors buy and sell Shares in secondary market transactions through brokers at market prices and Shares will trade at market prices. The market price of Shares may be greater than, equal to, or less than NAV. Market forces of supply and demand, economic conditions and other factors may affect the trading prices of Shares. Information regarding how often Shares of the Fund traded at a price above (at a premium to) or below (at a discount to) the NAV of the Fund is available at www.ArrowFunds.com.

How To Buy and Sell Shares 

Shares may be acquired or redeemed directly from the Fund only in Creation Units or multiples thereof. Only an Authorized Participant may engage in creation or redemption transactions directly with the Fund. Once created, shares generally trade in the secondary market in amounts less than a Creation Unit. Shares can be bought and sold on the Exchange throughout the trading day like shares of other publicly-traded companies.

Additional shareholder information, including how to buy and sell Shares, is available free of charge in the SAI or by calling toll free 1-877-277-6933 or visiting our website at www.ArrowFunds.com.

Buying and Selling Shares on the Secondary Market

You may buy and sell individual Shares only through a broker dealer in secondary market transactions on the Exchange. Shares are listed for trading on the Exchange under the symbol GYLD. There is no minimum investment required. Shares may only be bought and sold on the secondary market when the Exchange is open for trading. The Exchange is open for trading Monday through Friday and is closed on weekends and the following holidays, as observed: New Year’s Day, Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents’ Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, Juneteenth, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day and Christmas Day.

When buying or selling Shares through a broker, you will incur customary brokerage commissions and charges, and you may pay some or all of the spread between the bid and the offered price in the secondary market on each leg of a round trip (purchase and sale) transaction.

Creation and Redemption Transactions

Authorized Participants may acquire Shares directly from the Fund, and Authorized Participants may tender their Shares for redemption directly to the Fund, at NAV per Share only in large blocks, or Creation Units, of 75,000 Shares. Purchases and redemptions with cash instead of in-kind securities could cause the Fund to incur certain costs, which include brokerage costs, taxable gains or losses that it might not otherwise have incurred if it had been made by a redemption in-kind. These costs could be imposed on the Fund and, thus, decrease the Fund’s NAV to the extent that the costs are not offset by a transaction fee payable by an Authorized Participant. Purchases and redemptions directly with the Fund must follow the Fund’s procedures, which are described in the SAI.

The Fund may liquidate and terminate at any time without shareholder approval.

Share Trading Prices

Information regarding the intraday value of shares of the Fund, also known as the “indicative optimized portfolio value” (“IOPV”), is disseminated every 15 seconds throughout each trading day by the securities exchange on which the Fund’s shares are listed or by market data vendors or other information providers. The IOPV is based on the current market value of the Fund’s securities, including cash required to be deposited in exchange for a Creation Unit.

The IOPV is generally determined by using both current market quotations and price quotations obtained from broker-dealers and other market intermediaries that may trade in the Fund’s portfolio securities. The IOPV may not reflect the exact composition of the Fund’s current portfolio of securities at a particular point in time or the best possible valuation of each Fund’s current portfolio. As a result, the IOPV should not be confused with the NAV, which is computed only once a day. The Fund is not involved in, or responsible for, the calculation or dissemination of the IOPV and the Fund does not make any warranty as to the accuracy of these values.

Book Entry 

Shares are held in book entry form, which means that no stock certificates are issued. The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) or its nominee is the record owner of all outstanding Shares and is recognized as the owner of all Shares for all purposes.

Investors owning Shares are beneficial owners as shown on the records of DTC or its participants. DTC serves as the securities depository for all Shares.

Participants in DTC include securities brokers and dealers, banks, trust companies, clearing corporations and other institutions that directly or indirectly maintain a custodial relationship with DTC. As a beneficial owner of Shares, you are not entitled to receive physical delivery of stock certificates or to have Shares registered in your name, and you are not considered a registered owner of Shares. Therefore, to exercise any right as an owner of Shares, you must rely upon the procedures of DTC and its participants. These procedures are the same as those that apply to any other securities that you hold in book entry or “street name” form.

Frequent Purchases and Redemptions of Shares 

The Board of Trustees has not adopted a policy of monitoring for frequent trading activity because Shares are listed for trading on a national securities exchange.

Distribution and Service Plan 

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 Fund’s 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 the1940 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.

Dividends, Other Distributions and Taxes

Unlike interests in mutual funds, which typically are bought and sold from and to the fund only at closing NAVs, Shares are traded throughout the day in the secondary market on a national securities exchange on an intra-day basis and are created and redeemed in-kind and/or for cash in Creation Units at each day’s next calculated NAV. In-kind arrangements are designed to protect ongoing shareholders from the adverse effects on the Fund’s portfolio that could arise from frequent cash redemption transactions. In a conventional mutual fund, redemptions can have an adverse tax impact on taxable shareholders if the mutual fund needs to sell portfolio securities to obtain cash to meet net fund redemptions. These sales may generate taxable gains for the ongoing shareholders of the mutual fund, whereas the Shares’ in-kind redemption mechanism generally will not lead to a tax event for the Fund or its ongoing shareholders.

Ordinarily, dividends from net investment income, if any, are declared and paid monthly by the Fund. The Fund distributes its net realized capital gains, if any, to shareholders annually.

Distributions in cash may be reinvested automatically in additional whole Shares only if the broker through whom you purchased Shares makes such option available.

Taxes

As with any investment, you should consider how your investment in Shares will be taxed. The tax information in this Prospectus is provided as general information. You should consult your own tax professional about the tax consequences of an investment in Shares.

Unless your investment in Shares is made through a tax-exempt entity or tax-deferred retirement account, such as an individual retirement account, you need to be aware of the possible tax consequences when:

Taxes on Distributions

As stated above, dividends from net investment income, if any, ordinarily are declared and paid monthly by the Fund. The Fund may also pay a special distribution at the end of a calendar year to comply with federal tax requirements. Distributions from the Fund’s net investment income, including net short-term capital gains, if any, are taxable to you as ordinary income, except that the Fund’s dividends attributable to its “qualified dividend income” (i.e., dividends received on stock of most domestic and certain foreign corporations with respect to which the Fund satisfies certain holding period and other restrictions), if any, generally are subject to federal income tax for non-corporate shareholders who satisfy those restrictions with respect to their Fund shares at the tax rate for net capital gain—a maximum of 15% for taxable years beginning before 2014. A part of the Fund’s dividends also may be eligible for the dividends-received deduction allowed to corporations—the eligible portion may not exceed the aggregate dividends the Fund receives from domestic corporations subject to federal income tax (excluding REITs) and excludes dividends from foreign corporations^—subject to similar restrictions.

In general, your distributions are subject to federal income tax when they are paid, whether you take them in cash or reinvest them in the Fund (if that option is available).

Distributions reinvested in additional Shares through the means of a dividend reinvestment service, if available, will be taxable to shareholders acquiring the additional Shares to the same extent as if such distributions had been received in cash. Under current law, the maximum individual federal income tax rate applicable to long-term capital gains is either 15% or 20%, depending on whether the individual’s income exceeds certain threshold amounts.

Distributions in excess of the Fund’s current and accumulated earnings and profits are treated as a tax-free return of capital to the extent of your basis in the Shares and as capital gain thereafter. A distribution will reduce the Fund’s NAV per Share and may be taxable to you as ordinary income or capital gain (as described above) even though, from an investment standpoint, the distribution may constitute a return of capital.

By law, the Fund is required to withhold at the backup withholding rate (currently 24%) form your distributions and redemption proceeds if you have not provided the Fund with a correct social security number or other taxpayer identification number and in certain other situations.

Taxes on Exchange-Listed Share Sales

Any capital gain or loss realized upon a sale of Shares is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less. The ability to deduct capital losses from sales of Shares may be limited.

Taxes on Purchase and Redemption of Creation Units

An Authorized Participant who exchanges securities for Creation Units generally will recognize a gain or a loss equal to the difference between the market value of the Creation Units at the time of the exchange and the sum of the exchanger’s aggregate basis in the securities surrendered plus any Cash Component it pays. An Authorized Participant who exchanges Creation Units for securities will generally recognize a gain or loss equal to the difference between the exchanger’s basis in the Creation Units and the sum of the aggregate market value of the securities received plus any cash equal to the difference between the NAV of the Shares being redeemed and the value of the securities. The deductibility of losses, however, is subject to disallowance or limitation under various tax rules. Persons exchanging securities should consult their own tax advisor with respect to when a loss might be deductible.

Any capital gain or loss realized upon redemption of Creation Units is generally treated as long-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for more than one year and as short-term capital gain or loss if the Shares have been held for one year or less.

If you purchase or redeem Creation Units, you will be sent a confirmation statement showing how many Shares you purchased or sold and at what price.

Additional Medicare Tax

Currently, an additional 3.8% Medicare tax is imposed on certain net investment income (including ordinary dividends and capital gain distributions received from the Fund and net gains from taxable dispositions of Fund shares) of U.S. individuals, estates and trusts to the extent that such person’s “modified adjusted gross income” (in the case of an individual) or “adjusted gross income”
(in the case of an estate or trust) exceeds certain threshold amounts.

The foregoing discussion summarizes some of the possible consequences under current federal tax law of an investment in the Fund. It is not a substitute for personal tax advice. Consult your personal tax advisor about the potential tax consequences of an investment in the Shares under all applicable tax laws. See “Taxes” in the SAI for more information.

Other Information 

Investments by Investment Companies 

Section 12(d)(1) of the 1940 Act restricts investments by investment companies in the securities of other investment companies, including the Shares. Registered investment companies are permitted to invest in the Fund beyond the limits set forth in Section 12(d)(1) subject to certain terms and conditions; or as set forth in Rule 12d1-4 under the 1940 Act, including that such investment companies enter into an agreement with the Trust on behalf of the Fund.

Continuous Offering 

The method by which Creation Units of Shares are created and traded may raise certain issues under applicable securities laws. Because new Creation Units of Shares are issued and sold by the Fund on an ongoing basis, a “distribution,” as such term is used in the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), may occur at any point. Broker-dealers and other persons are cautioned that some activities on their part may, depending on the circumstances, result in their being deemed participants in a distribution in a manner which could render them statutory underwriters and subject them to the prospectus delivery requirement and liability provisions of the Securities Act.

For example, a broker-dealer firm or its client may be deemed a statutory underwriter if it takes Creation Units after placing an order with the Fund’s distributor, breaks them down into constituent Shares and sells the Shares directly to customers or if it chooses to couple the creation of a supply of new Shares with an active selling effort involving solicitation of secondary market demand for Shares. A determination of whether one is an underwriter for purposes of the Securities Act must take into account all the facts and circumstances pertaining to the activities of the broker-dealer or its client in the particular case, and the examples mentioned above should not be considered a complete description of all the activities that could lead to a characterization as an underwriter.

Broker-dealer firms should also note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are effecting transactions in Shares, whether or not participating in the distribution of Shares, are generally required to deliver a prospectus. This is because the prospectus delivery exemption in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act is not available in respect of such transactions as a result of Section 24(d) of the 1940 Act. As a result, broker-dealer firms should note that dealers who are not “underwriters” but are participating in a distribution
(as contrasted with engaging in ordinary secondary market transactions) and thus dealing with the Shares that are part of an overallotment within the meaning of Section 4(3)(C) of the Securities Act, will be unable to take advantage of the prospectus delivery exemption provided by Section 4(3) of the Securities Act. For delivery of prospectuses to exchange members, the prospectus delivery mechanism of Rule 153 under the Securities Act is only available with respect to transactions on a national exchange.

Dealers effecting transactions in the Shares, whether or not participating in this distribution, are generally required to deliver a Prospectus. This is in addition to any obligation of dealers to deliver a Prospectus when acting as underwriters.
