This month Arrow Investment Advisors, LLC, the advisor to
ArrowShares and Arrow Funds, is celebrating the one-year
anniversary of the exchange traded fund (ETF) which they believe
sets the standard for multi-asset, global yield investments. Since
its debut on May 8, 2012 as the only fund to track the Dow Jones
Global Composite Yield Index, the Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF
(NYSE: GYLD) has garnered more than $80 million in assets as
investors continue to seek competitive yield in a challenging rate
environment.
"We have seen that the majority of income-oriented investors
today desire yield, but not necessarily at the expense of returns,"
says Joseph Barrato, CEO of Arrow Investment Advisors. "We advocate
a global approach to yield that incorporates both traditional and
alternative sources of income, along with growth potential."
As of the May 15, 2013 distribution, GYLD has
delivered a total return of 18.60% since inception, with a 12-month
yield of 6.34% and 30-Day SEC yield of 5.56%.(1)

Past performance is no guarantee of future
results. Current performance may be lower or higher than the
performance data quoted above. Investment return and principal
value will fluctuate, so that shares, when sold or redeemed, may be
worth more or less than their original cost. ETFs are generally
bought and sold at market price (not NAV) and are not individually
redeemed from the fund. Brokerage fees will reduce returns. Index
returns assume reinvestment of distributions, but do not include
fees or expenses. Indexes are generally not available for direct
investment.
"In today's yield-starved world, it can be difficult to deliver
competitive income without ratcheting up risk," says Tom Cahill,
Managing Partner at Beaumont Financial Partners, LLC, who employs
the Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF (GYLD) as part of the equity
income component of his clients' portfolios. "We appreciate GYLD's
inherent diversification and the ability to gain exposure to a
range of underlying strategies within one investment vehicle which
can help mitigate single asset class risk associated with REITs and
Master Limited Partnerships, for example."
At an expense ratio of 0.75%, the Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield
ETF provides diversified, multi-asset global yield and growth
exposure to Global Equities, Global Alternatives (including Master
Limited Partnerships), Global Corporate Debt and Global Sovereign
Debt through its benchmark -- the Dow Jones Global Composite Yield
Index. To reduce concentration risk, the index is equally weighted
among each of these five assets, and each asset class is also
equally weighted among 30 holdings to total 150 securities. To
ensure optimum investability, the index methodology follows a
strict screening process with quarterly rebalancing.
"In addition to the broad diversification afforded by GYLD, we
appreciate the way the portfolio is managed," says Bill Sowell,
President of Sowell Management Services, a Third Party Management
firm which uses the Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF within its
high net worth and ETF model portfolios. "GYLD's index is active by
nature and offers efficient exposure to attractive sources of
global yield."

(1)Total return includes price appreciation and distributions

and sold at market price (not NAV) therefore individual returns may
vary depending on time of purchase, market price, and brokerage
fees. 12-month yield is based on the cumulative monthly
distributions over the previous year. SEC yield is a standardized
calculation based on the holdings in the previous 30-day period.
Distributions are generally made monthly and will vary depending on
holdings and market fluctuation.

The Arrow Dow Jones Global Yield ETF may not be
suitable for all investors. The fund is new and has a limited
performance record. The fund may not replicate the exact
performance of the benchmark because of fees, expenses, trading
costs and portfolio tracking error. Exchange traded products are
bought and sold at market price, not NAV, and are not individually
redeemed from the fund. Buying and selling shares generally results
in brokerage commissions, which will reduce returns. Fixed income
securities may be subject to risks associated with interest rate
fluctuations. International investments may involve additional
risks, including, but not limited to, currency fluctuation,
differences in generally accepted accounting principles, economic
differences and political instability. Emerging markets involve
heightened risks related to the same factors as well as increased
volatility and lower trading volume. Changes in laws, domestically
or abroad, could result in the inability of the fund to operate as
described in the prospectus. Narrowly focused investments may be
subject to higher volatility. High-yielding stocks and
non-investment grade bonds are often higher-risk investments, which
may be subject to greater volatility due to such factors as
corporate developments, interest rate sensitivity, negative
perceptions whether factual or not, and adverse economic
conditions. Master Limited Partnerships (MLPs) and Royalty
Investment Trusts (RITs) have specific risks, including, among
others, limited voting rights, energy demand, limited call rights
of the general partner and changes in tax laws. In order to qualify
for the tax treatment of a regulated investment company (RIC), the
fund's exposure to MLPs cannot exceed 25%, or the fund may be
subject to corporate tax status, which would reduce the overall
performance. Investments in securities of real estate companies
involve risks, including, among others, adverse changes in
national, state or local real estate conditions domestically or
abroad; obsolescence of properties; changes in the availability,
cost and terms of mortgage funds; and the impact of changes in
environmental or tax laws.
