Dear Mr. Orlic:

On June 21, 2022, Arrow Investments Trust (the "Registrant"), on behalf of its series Arrow Adaptive Income ETF (now known as Arrow Adaptive Multi-Strategy ETF, the "Fund"), filed Post-Effective Amendment No. 82 to the Registrant's registration statement (the "Amendment"). The Amendment was filed pursuant to Rule 485(a)(2) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to register shares of the Fund. The Fund has filed a delaying amendment to move its effective date to September 29, 2022; and may further delay effectiveness to allow for disposition of comments and to address operational aspects of Fund launch.

In a telephone conversation on August 4, 2022, you provided comments to the Amendment. Below, please find a summary of your comments and the Registrant's responses, which the Registrant has authorized Thompson Hine LLP to make on its behalf. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to them in the Amendment. A marked copy of the prospectus is attached to aid in your review.

(a) Please provide a fee table and expense examples to the SEC staff at five business days prior to the effective date of the Fund.

(e) Please include in the footnotes a reference to fee or reimbursement recapture as being subject to both the then-current expense cap and the expense cap in place at the time of the fee waiver and or reimbursement.

(f) Please include an acquired fund fees and expenses line item.

Response:

(a) The Registrant undertakes to provide a fee table and expense examples to the SEC staff at least five business days prior to the effective date of the Fund.

(b) The Registrant has included in the footnotes a statement that other expenses are estimated for the current fiscal year.

(c) The Registrant confirms that any expense limitation agreement will be effective for at least one year from the Fund's effective date.

Page 3

(c) Please confirm, supplementally, that any short selling expenses are included in the fee table.

(d) With respect to the Cayman Island subsidiary of the Fund:

i. Disclose that the Fund complies with the provisions of the Investment Company Act governing investment policies (Section 8) on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary.

ii. Disclose that the Fund complies with the provisions of the Investment Company Act governing capital structure and leverage (Section 18) on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary so that the Fund treats the Subsidiary's debt as its own for purposes of Section 18.

iii. Disclose that any investment adviser to the Subsidiary complies with provisions of the Investment Company Act relating to investment advisory contracts (Section 15) as if it were an investment adviser to the Fund under Section 2(a)(20) of the Investment Company Act. Any investment advisory agreement between the Subsidiary and its investment adviser is a material contract that should be included as an exhibit to the registration statement. If the same person is the adviser to both the Fund and the Subsidiary, then, for purposes of complying with Section 15(c), the reviews of the Fund's and the Subsidiary's investment advisory agreements may be combined.

iv. Disclose that the Subsidiary complies with provisions of the Investment Company Act relating to affiliated transactions and custody (Section 17). Identify the custodian of the Subsidiary, if any.

(f) Please include principal investment strategy disclosures in the statutory portion of the prospectus as they have been inadvertently omitted.

Response

(a) The Registrant has considered this comment and believes that “purchasing power” is well understood by the investment marketplace especially in light of the recent popular focus on inflation and its impact on purchasing power. By way of example, the Registrant notes that the Permanent Portfolio fund includes purchasing power in its investment objective without further elaboration. “Permanent Portfolio seeks to preserve and increase the purchasing power value of its shares over the long term.” This fund has been in operation over10 years.

(b) The Registrant amended the disclosure to read as Wall Street luminary rather than “legend."

(c) The Registrant confirms that any short selling expenses are included in the fee table.

(d) With respect to the Cayman Island subsidiary of the Fund:

i. The Registrant has included disclosure that the Fund complies with the provisions of the Investment Company Act governing investment policies (Section 8) on an aggregate basis with the Subsidiary.
