Fees and Compensation
Description

management. Fees are negotiable.
Other Fees
Custodians may charge transaction fees on purchases or sales of certain mutual funds and
exchange-traded funds. These transaction charges are usually small and incidental to the purchase
or sale of a security.
COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC., in its sole discretion, may lower its annual
investment management fee based upon certain criteria (e.g., historical relationship, type of assets,
anticipated future earnings capacity or additional new business from client, dollar amounts of
assets to be managed, related accounts, account composition, negotiations with clients, etc.).
Investment Advisory Agreement fees may be adjusted for complexity of individual situations. The
formula may be based upon number of accounts, gross assets and /or other financial
considerations.

Expense Ratios
Mutual funds and ETF’s generally charge a management fee for their services as investment
managers. The management fee is called an expense ratio. For example, an expense ratio of 0.50
means that the mutual fund company charges 0.5% for their services. These fees are in addition to
the investment advisory fees paid by you to COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.
Past Due Account and Termination of Agreement
COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. reserves the right to stop work on any investment
advisory account that is more than 45 days overdue. In addition, COSTELLO ASSET
MANAGEMENT, INC. reserves the right to terminate any investment advisory engagement
where a client has willfully concealed or has refused to provide pertinent information about
financial situations when necessary and appropriate, in COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT,
INC.’s judgment, to providing proper investment advice. |

Investment Strategies
The primary investment strategy used on client accounts is asset allocation based on the risk tolerance
of each client. This means that we may use more growth stocks in client accounts that seek higher
returns and more dividend paying stock and shorter maturity bond investments for clients who are risk
adverse. Portfolios are globally diversified through domestic and international sales of the individual
stock investments. We may invest in companies based outside the United States but whose stock is
traded on United States trading exchanges.
The investment strategy for a managed account is based upon the objectives stated by the client during
consultations. The client may change these objectives at any time. Each client signs an Investment
Policy Questionnaire that documents their objectives and their desired investment strategy. All clients
are required to contact COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, Inc. when their specific needs change.
The Investment Policy Questionnaire is reviewed with the client at all meetings.
Other investment strategies may include short and long-term purchases, trading, margin
transactions, and option writing.
Covered Call Writing
Covered call writing is the sale of in- or out-of-the-money call options against a long security position
held in a client portfolio. This type of transaction is intended to generate income. It also serves to create
partial downside protection in the event the security position declines in value. Income is received from
the proceeds of the option sale. Such income may be reduced or lost to the extent it is determined to
buy back the option position before its expiration. There can be no assurance that the security will not
be called away by the option buyer, which will result in the client (option writer) to lose ownership in
the security and incur potential unintended tax consequences. Covered call strategies are generally
better suited for positions with lower price volatility.
Risk of Loss
All investment programs have certain risks that are borne by the investor. Our investment approach
constantly keeps the risk of loss in mind. Investors face the following investment risks:
Interest-rate Risk: Fluctuation in interest rates may cause investment prices to fluctuate. For
example, when interest rates rise, yields on existing bonds become less attractive, causing
their market values to decline.
Market Risk: The price of a security, bond, or mutual fund may drop in reaction to
tangible and intangible events and conditions. This type of risk is caused by external
factors independent of a security’s particular underlying circumstances. For example,
political, economic and social conditions may trigger market events.
Inflation Risk: When any type of inflation is present, a dollar today will not buy as much as a
dollar next year, because purchasing power is eroding at the rate of inflation.
Currency Risk: Overseas investments are subject to fluctuations in the value of the dollar
against the currency of the investment’s originating country. This is also referred to as
exchange rate risk.
Reinvestment Risk: This is the risk that future proceeds from investments may not have to be
reinvested at a potentially lower rate of return (i.e. interest rate). This primarily relates to
fixed income securities.
Business Risk: These risks are associated with a particular industry or a particular company
within an industry. For example, oil-drilling companies depend on finding oil and refining
it, a lengthy process, before they can generate profit. They carry a higher risk of
profitability then an electric company, which generates its income from a steady stream of
customers who buy electricity no matter what the economic environment is like.
Liquidity Risk: Liquidity is the ability to readily convert an investment into cash. Generally,
assets are more liquid if many traders are interested in a standardized product. For
