Dear Shareholder:

We are pleased to present this annual report for the Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF (“ARCM” or the “Fund”) for the year ended January 31, 2022. ARCM is a conservative, ultra short-term fixed income fund that invests in a variety of investment grade fixed income securities with maturities generally ranging from zero to two years. The Fund is sub-advised by Halyard Asset Management, LLC, a leader in reserve capital and fixed income strategies.

ARCM is actively managed in an attempt to maximize income potential without substantially increasing portfolio risk. The Fund tries to identify holdings that offer an acceptable yield and return potential for a given level of credit risk and maturity.

Management’s Discussion of Fund Performance

All Fund performance herein is based on net asset value (“NAV”) and assumes the reinvestment of distributions, without regard to individual taxes or withholdings. Index returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include fees. Individual performance will vary due to a number of factors, including, but not limited to, trading commissions, bid/ask spreads, premium/discounts relative to the NAV, time of trading and other potential market factors—please refer to the Fund’s prospectus for more information.

For the one-year period ended January 31, 2022, performance of ARCM was -0.42%. For a comparison, the FTSE Treasury Bill 6 Month USD Index was 0.06% for the same period. Since the Fund’s inception on March 31, 2017, the Fund has an annualized total return of 1.13% and the FTSE Treasury Bill 6 Month USD Index was up 1.22% for the same period. The year was a challenging one for fixed income assets as inflation creeped ever higher and the Federal Reserve insisted, until year-end, that the uptick would prove transitory.

Investment grade industrial paper such as Lowes 3.8% 11/15/21 and Amgen, Inc. 2.70% 5/1/22 led the performance contribution in ARCM for the one-year period ended January 31, 2022. Financial names such as Wells Fargo 3.50% 3/8/22 and Citibank Floating Rate Note 4/25/22 also contributed positively to the Fund’s performance. Higher rated paper performed in line with lower rated credits, with the exception of several U.S. Treasury Securities, which were net detractors from performance. In addition to Treasury Securities, holdings that detracted from ARCM’s performance for the one-year period ended January 31, 2022 were Illinois State Sales Tax 0.613% 6/15/23, The Southerrn Company 0.60% 2/26/24, and Tempe Taxable Revenue 0.368 7/1/23.

Overall, interest rates rose during 2021 in response to the persistent inflation challenges, and despite the Federal Reserve’s continued buying of U.S. Government bonds in the secondary market. The Federal Reserve Committee has reversed on its opinion that inflation will be transitory and is now expected to raise the overnight rate seven times in 2022 in response to the change in its forecast. As of January 31, 2022, the Fund’s 30-day U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission yield was -0.46% and the 12-month distribution rate was 0.44%, which is down from 0.71% on January 31, 2021.

Joseph J. Barrato

PORTFOLIO REVIEW (Unaudited)
January 31, 2022

The Fund’s performance figures* for the period ended January 31, 2022, as compared to its benchmark:

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 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 market price or bid/ask as of close of market 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 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, are 0.55% per the June 1, 2021 prospectus. After fee waivers and/or expense reimbursements, the Fund’s total annual expenses are 0.50% per the June 1, 2021 prospectus. 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.

The FTSE Treasury Bill 6 Month USD Index is a market value-weighted index of public obligations of the U.S. Treasury with maturities of six months. The Index reflects no deduction for fees, expenses or taxes. Investors cannot invest directly in an index.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

January 31, 2022

The Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF (the “Fund”) is a diversified series of Arrow Investments Trust (“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 to preserve capital while maximizing current income. The investment objective is non-fundamental. The Fund commenced operations on March 30, 2017.

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 are valued at the last reported sale price at the close of the regular trading session of the exchange on the business day the value is being determined, or in the case of securities listed on NASDAQ at the NASDAQ Official Closing Price (“NOCP”). In the absence of a sale, such securities shall be valued at the last bid price on the day of valuation. Debt securities (other than short-term obligations) are valued each day by an independent pricing service approved by the Trust’s Board of Trustees (the “Board”) using methods that include consideration of current market quotations from a major market maker in the securities and consideration of yields or prices of securities of comparable quality, coupon, maturity and type. Investments valued in currencies other than the U.S. dollar are converted to U.S. dollars using exchange rates obtained from pricing services. If market quotations are not readily available or if Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) believes the market quotations are not reflective of market value, securities will be valued at their fair value as determined in good faith by the Advisor 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 the time of purchase, may be valued at amortized cost.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

January 31, 2022

The Fund utilizes various methods to measure the fair value of all of its investments on a recurring basis. GAAP establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes inputs to valuation methods. The three levels of input are:

Level 1 – Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities that the Fund has the ability to access.

Level 2 – Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. These inputs may include quoted prices for the identical instrument in an inactive market, prices for similar instruments, interest rates, prepayment speeds, credit risk, yield curves, default rates and similar data.

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, to the extent relevant observable inputs are not available, representing the Fund’s own assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use in valuing the asset or liability, and would be based on the best information available.

The availability of observable inputs can vary from security to security and is affected by a wide variety of factors, including, for example, the type of security, whether the security is new and not yet established in the marketplace, the liquidity of markets, and other characteristics particular to the security. To the extent that valuation is based on models or inputs that are less observable or unobservable in the market, the determination of fair value requires more judgment. Accordingly, the degree of judgment exercised in determining fair value is greatest for instruments categorized in Level 3.

The inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In such cases, for disclosure purposes, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement falls in its entirety, is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table summarizes the inputs used as of January 31, 2022 for the Fund’s assets measured at fair value:

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

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 or until call date. Dividend income is recorded on the ex-dividend date. Realized gains or losses from sales of securities are determined by comparing the identified cost of the security lot sold with the net sales proceeds.

Dividends and distributions to shareholders – 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. 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 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, 2019 to January 31, 2021, or expected to be taken in the Fund’s January 31, 2022 year-end tax return. The Fund identifies 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.

Expenses – Expenses of the Trust that are directly identifiable to a specific fund are charged to that fund. Expenses that 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 expenses 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 

Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

January 31, 2022

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

Market Risk – The net asset value of the Fund will fluctuate based on changes in the value of the individual securities and ETFs in which the Fund invests. The increasing interconnectivity between global economies and financial markets increases the likelihood that events or conditions in one region or financial market may adversely impact issuers in a different country, region or financial market. Securities in the Fund’s portfolio may underperform due to inflation (or expectations for inflation), interest rates, global demand for particular products or resources, natural disasters, climate change or climate related events, pandemics, epidemics, terrorism, regulatory events and governmental or quasi-governmental actions. The occurrence of global events similar to those in recent years may result in market volatility and may have long term effects on both the U.S. and global financial markets. The current novel coronavirus (COVID-19) global pandemic and the aggressive responses taken by many governments, including closing borders, restricting international and domestic travel, and the imposition of prolonged quarantines or similar restrictions, as well as the forced or voluntary closure of, or operational changes to, many retail and other businesses, has had negative impacts, and in many cases severe negative impacts, on markets worldwide. It is not known how long such impacts, or any future impacts of other significant events described above, will or would last, but there could be a prolonged period of global economic slowdown, which may impact your Fund investment.

For the year ended January 31, 2022, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities (excluding in-kind transactions and short-term investments), amounted to $36,929,442 and $34,765,159, respectively.

For the year ended January 31, 2022, cost of purchases and proceeds from sales of portfolio securities for in-kind transactions amounted to $0 and $0, respectively.

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 Advisor has engaged Halyard Asset Management LLC as the sub-advisor (the “Sub-Advisor”) to the Fund. 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 (the “Distributor”) to serve as the distributor for the Fund. Archer Distributors, LLC (“Archer”), an affiliate of the Advisor, is also a party to the Distribution Agreement 

Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

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 0.30% of the Fund’s average daily net assets. The Sub-Advisor is paid by the Advisor, not the Fund. For the year January 31, 2022, the Fund incurred $155,332 in advisory fees. For the year ended January 31, 2022, the Sub-Advisor earned $51,777 in sub-advisory fees.

Pursuant to a written contract (the “Waiver Agreement”), the Advisor has agreed, at least until May 31, 2022 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 front-end or contingent deferred sales loads, 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 0.50%, herein 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 applicable Expense Limitation, the Advisor, on a rolling three-year period (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 expense to exceed the lesser of the Expense Limitation in place at the time of waiver or recapture. If the Fund’s operating expenses subsequently exceed the applicable Expense Limitation, the reimbursements for the Fund shall be suspended. For the year ended January 31, 2022, the Advisor waived fees in the amount of $49,061 pursuant to the Waiver Agreement. The following amounts are subject to recapture by the Advisor through the following date: 

The Advisor may seek reimbursement only for expenses that were waived or paid after the effective date of the Waiver Agreement (or any similar agreement). The Board may terminate this expense reimbursement arrangement at any time.

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. 

Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)

January 31, 2022

No distribution or service fees are currently paid by the Fund and there are no current plans to impose these fees. In the event Rule 12b-1 fees were charged, over time they would increase the cost of an investment in the Fund.

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

Blu Giant, LLC (“Blu Giant”) – Blu Giant, an affiliate of UFS 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 Fund.

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”). Transaction Fees may be used to cover the custodial and other costs incurred by the Fund or disclosed as capital shares for the Fund in the Statements of Changes in Net Assets.

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

The tax character of fund distributions paid for the years ended January 31, 2022 and January 31, 2021 was as follows: 

As of January 31, 2022, the components of accumulated earnings/(deficit) on a tax basis were as follows:

The difference between book basis and tax basis undistributed net investment income/(loss), accumulated net realized gain/(loss), and unrealized appreciation/(depreciation) from investments is primarily attributable to the tax deferral of losses on wash sales.

Late year losses incurred after December 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 late year losses of $2,826.

Permanent book and tax differences, primarily attributable to net operating losses and distributions in excess, resulted in reclassifications for the Fund for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2022 as follows:

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Trustees of Arrow Investments Trust

and the Shareholders of Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying statement of assets and liabilities of Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF, a series of shares of beneficial interest in Arrow Investments Trust (the “Fund”), including the schedule of investments, as of January 31, 2022, and the related statement of operations for the year then ended, the statements of changes in net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended, and the financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended and for the period from March 30, 2017 (commencement of operations) through January 31, 2018, and the related notes (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Fund as of January 31, 2022, and the results of its operations for the year then ended, the changes in its net assets for each of the years in the two-year period then ended and its financial highlights for each of the years in the four-year period then ended and for the period from March 30, 2017 through January 31, 2018, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Fund’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Fund’s financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (“PCAOB”) and are required to be independent with respect to the Fund in accordance with the U.S. federal securities law and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Fund is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Fund’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.

Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risk of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our procedures included confirmation of securities owned as of January 31, 2022 by correspondence with the custodian, brokers, or by other appropriate auditing procedures where replies from brokers were not received. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

BBD, LLP

We have served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Arrow Investments Trust since 2012. We also served as the auditor of one or more of the Funds in the Funds’ former trust from 2006 through 2012.

As a shareholder of the Fund, you incur 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 exchange traded funds. This example does not take into account transaction costs, such as brokerage commissions that you may pay on your purchases and sales of shares of the Fund.

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, 2021 through January 31, 2022.

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. Therefore, the table is useful in comparing ongoing costs only, and will not help you determine the relative total costs of owning different funds. In addition, if these transactional costs were included, your costs would have been higher.

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

At a meeting held September 27, 2021 (the “Meeting”), the Board of Trustees (the “Board”) including the Trustees who are not “interested persons”, as such term is defined under Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Independent Trustees”), considered the renewal of the investment advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”) between the Arrow Investment Trust (the “Trust”), and Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC (the “Advisor”) and the investment sub-advisory agreement (the “Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between the Advisor and Halyard Asset Management, LLC (“Halyard” or the “Sub-Advisor”) with respect to the Arrow Reserve Capital Management ETF (the “Fund”).

The Board, including the Independent Trustees, unanimously approved continuance of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-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 Advisor. 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 are summaries of the Board’s conclusions regarding various factors relevant to approval of continuance of the Advisory Agreement and Sub-Advisory Agreement:

I. 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 Advisor provided to the Fund, including the Advisor’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 the Advisor. The Trustees noted that the portfolio management team is well qualified to manage and implement quantitative (rules based) investment strategies for both internal as well as external models and indexes. The Board reviewed the services the Advisor provided, including the activities of the Advisor’s best execution committee and the caliber of the investment management and related services. They agreed that the Advisor’s portfolio management team has extensive experience in alternative index replication, model implementation and derivative based trade execution within mutual funds and ETFs. They discussed the Advisor’s compliance infrastructure and resources. The Board also considered the Advisor’s management of service provider relationships and oversight of the Sub-Advisor.

The Board found that the Advisor had conducted ongoing analysis of unique investment strategies in an effort to provide positive returns to shareholders. Further, the Board considered the experience and knowledge of the management team. The Board concluded that the Advisor 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 Advisor to the Fund was satisfactory.

Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s average total return compared to the average total returns of its peer group, Morningstar category average (Morningstar Ultra Short Term Bond) and benchmark index (Bank of America/Merrill Lynch U.S. 6 Month Treasury Bill Index). The Board noted that the Fund has been sub-advised by Halyard Asset Management, LLC since inception. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index, Morningstar category, and peer group for

the year-to-date, one-year, and three-year periods. The Board further considered that the Fund’s performance compares favorably with its peer group on a risk-adjusted basis. 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 averages. The Board considered that the Advisor does not receive additional benefits from soft dollar arrangements. The Board noted that the Advisor’s fees appeared reasonable based on the Fund’s particular investment strategy, the relative complexity of the strategies and the resources needed to implement that 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 considered that the Fund’s advisory fee was in line with the average of its peer group and higher than the average of its Morningstar Category. They discussed the relative cost of the sub-advisory arrangement. The Board further considered that the Fund’s overall expense ratio was higher than the average of its peer group and its Morningstar Category. In light of the nature, quality and extent of services the Advisor 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 not yet reached an asset level where the Advisor could likely 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 Advisor with respect to the Fund, noting the Advisor did not realize a profit with respect to the Fund. The Board considered the benefit to shareholders of the expense limitation agreements provided by the Advisor. The Board concluded that excessive profitability was not an issue at this time.

Fallout Benefits. Because of its relationship with the Fund, the Advisor and its affiliates may receive certain benefits. The Board reviewed materials provided by the Advisor 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 interest of the Fund.

II. Sub-Advisory Agreement

Nature, Extent and Quality of Services. The Trustees discussed that Halyard was a research-oriented, SEC registered investment advisor specializing in the management of fixed income assets. The Trustees reviewed noted the extensive experience of the two portfolio managers managing fixed income assets. The Board considered the compliance software used by Halyard to monitor investment restrictions and other investment parameters, and discussed Halyard’s trading practices. The Board noted the satisfaction of the Trust’s CCO with the Sub-Advisor’s dedication to compliance. The Board noted that Halyard reported no compliance issues or involvement in litigation since the sub-advisory agreement was last renewed. The Trustees concluded that Halyard had provided quality services to the Fund.

Performance. The Board reviewed the Fund’s average total return compared to the average total returns of a benchmark index and a composite of accounts managed by Halyard. The Board noted that the

Fund has been sub-advised by Halyard Asset Management, LLC since inception. The Board considered that the Fund underperformed its benchmark index, Morningstar category, and peer group for the year-to-date, one-year, and three-year periods. The Board further considered that the Fund’s performance compares favorably with its peer group on a risk-adjusted basis. The Board concluded that the performance of the Fund was satisfactory.

Fees and Expenses. The Trustees discussed the sub-advisory fee for managing the Fund of 10 basis points per year, which was paid by the Advisor and not the Fund. It was noted that the sub-advisory fee was below Halyard’s average management fee for similar strategies. The Trustees concluded that the sub-advisory fee was reasonable in light of the quality of the services the Fund receives from the Sub-Advisor, and the level of fees paid by other clients of the Sub-Advisor, and the allocation of duties between the Advisor and Sub-Advisor.

Economies of Scale. The Trustees considered whether there would be economies of scale with respect to the management of the Fund. The Trustees agreed that this was primarily an Advisor level issue and was considered with respect to the overall advisory agreement, taking into consideration the impact of the sub-advisory expense. The Trustees agreed that the matter of economies of scale would be revisited as the Fund’s size materially increased.

Profitability. The Board considered the profits realized by the Sub-Advisor in connection with the operation of the Fund, noting that the Sub-Advisor earned a modest profit for managing the Fund. The Trustees concluded that they were satisfied that the Sub-Advisor’s level of profitability from its relationship to the Fund was not excessive.

Conclusion. In the course of their deliberations, the Trustees did not identify any particular information or factor that was all important or controlling. Based on the Trustees’ deliberations and their evaluation of the information described above, the Board, including all of the Independent Trustees, approved the Sub-Advisory Agreement and concluded that the sub-advisory fee is reasonable in light of such services and such other matters as the Trustees have considered relevant in the exercise of their reasonable judgment.
