The firm was approved to conduct business as a registered investment advisor in May, 1999. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. provides investment advisory services to individuals, non-profits, trusts, estates and other business entities. Advice is provided through consultation with the client and may include: determination of client’s investment objectives, identification of financial goals and risks, current and expected cash flow needs, education funding and retirement and estate planning. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. provides investment advisory services on a fee-only basis. In this capacity the firm does not sell annuities, insurance, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, limited partnerships, or other commissioned products, and is not affiliated with entities that sell financial products or securities. No commissions in any form are accepted when the firm is functioning as an Investment Advisor. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. may directly compensate for client referrals. This is typically done by sharing investment management fees paid by the client. See disclosure below regarding client referrals. Investment advice is an integral part of advisory services. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. may counsel clients regarding spending habits, college planning, retirement planning, tax planning and estate planning. It is the client’s responsibility to follow the advice. Investment advice is provided with initial and ongoing consultation regarding client investment needs and wants with COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. making the financial decision on investment selection. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not act as a custodian of client assets. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. places trades for clients under limited power of attorney. The initial client meeting, which may be by telephone, is free of charge and is considered an exploratory interview to determine the extent to which investment advisory services may be beneficial to the client. _______________________________________________________________________ Principal Owner Robert F. Costello, Jr. is a 100% stockholder of COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. _______________________________________________________________________ Advisory Services COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. provides investment advisory services, also known as asset management services. We may manage investment advisory accounts not involving investment supervisory services; furnish investment advice through consultations; and by mail or email issue quarterly newsletters that provide opinions which clients may use to evaluate securities. On an occasional basis, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. furnishes advice to clients on matters not involving securities such as on overall spending, taxation and estate planning. As of August 22, 2025, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. actively manages $368,560,000 in investments for approximately 976 client accounts. Approximately $368,560,000 is managed on a discretionary basis, and $00.00 is managed on a non-discretionary basis. 6 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  _____________________________________________________________________________________ Tailored Relationships The goal and objectives for each client are documented in our Client Investment Policy Questionnaire. Clients are asked many probing questions to determine investment objectives, asset allocation goals and risk and return expectations. Clients may impose restrictions on investing in certain securities. All clients are asked to complete a questionnaire when opening a new account. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Type of Agreement The following agreement defines the typical client relationship. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Investment Advisory Agreement COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.’s clients choose us to manage their assets in order to obtain ongoing in-depth account advice and management. All aspects of the client’s financial affairs are reviewed, including those of their dependent children. Realistic and measurable goals are defined. As goals and objectives change over time, suggestions are made and implemented on an ongoing basis. It is the client’s responsibility to be truthful regarding all information discussed with COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. The fee for Investment Advisory Services is provided to the client in writing prior to the start of the relationship. All clients must sign the investment advisory fee authorization agreement. Advisor shall provide the services under this Agreement for an advisory fee based upon a percentage of assets under its management. Client and Advisor have agreed to a fixed annual percentage rate of ______%. The advisory fee is payable quarterly, in arrears, based on the value of the Account(s) at the end of the immediately preceding calendar quarter. The value of Account for the purpose of computing the advisory fee shall be the sum of the cash plus the fair market value of the securities in the Account on the date of determination. If the Agreement begins on the day that is not the first day of a calendar quarter, the fee for the quarter will be appropriately prorated. If the Agreement terminates before the last day of a calendar quarter, the fee for such quarter will be prorated for the period in such a quarter after the date of termination. Costello Asset Management, Inc. may not be compensated on a basis of a share of capital gains upon or capital appreciation on the funds or any portion of the funds of a Client. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Asset Management Assets are invested primarily through discount brokers. Fund companies charge each fund shareholder an investment fee that is disclosed in the fund prospectus. Discount brokerages may charge a transaction fee for the purchase of mutual funds. Stocks and bonds may be purchased or sold through client brokerage accounts of their choosing. The brokerage firm may charge a transaction fee to the client for investment trades. Suitable investments may include: equity (stocks), warrants, corporate debt securities, commercial paper, certificates of deposit, municipal securities, U.S. government securities, options contracts, ETF’s, stock or bond mutual funds, limited partnerships, and initial public offerings (IPOs) may be purchased for client accounts through COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. Although the Investment Advisory Service Agreement is an ongoing agreement and constant adjustments are required, the length of services to the client is at the client’s discretion. The client may terminate the investment advisory agreement by written notice to the other party. At termination, fees will be billed on a pro-rata basis by COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, 7 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  INC. for the portion of the calendar quarter that the client account was managed. The value of the managed account at the completion of the service agreement is used as the basis for the fee computation, adjusted for the number of days during the billing quarter prior to termination and any asset flows in and out of the account during the quarter. The client is responsible to pay the investment advisory firm the fee for services provided during the terminating quarter on a pro rata basis and the quarter prior to termination. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Retirement Plan Rollovers – No Obligation/Conflict of Interest A Client or prospective client leaving an employer has four options regarding an existing retirement plan (and may engage in a combination of these options): (i) leave the money in the former employer’s plan, if permitted, (ii) roll over the assets to the new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted, (iii) roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (“IRA”), or (iv) cash out the account value (which could, depending upon the client’s age, result in adverse tax consequences). If COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT recommends that a client roll over their retirement plan assets into an account it manages, such a recommendation creates a conflict of interest if COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT will earn a new (or increase its current) advisory fee as a result of the rollover. No client is under any obligation to roll over retirement plan assets to an account managed by Registrant. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Portfolio Activity COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT has a fiduciary duty to provide services consistent with the client’s best interest. As part of its investment advisory services, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT will review client portfolios on an ongoing basis to determine if any changes are necessary based upon various factors, including but not limited to investment performance, fund manager tenure, style drift, account additions/withdrawals, the client’s financial circumstances, and changes in the client’s investment objectives. Based upon these and other factors, there may be extended periods of time when COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT determines changes to a client’s portfolio are neither necessary nor prudent. Notwithstanding, there can be no assurance that investment decisions made by COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT will be profitable or equal any specific performance levels. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Cash Positions COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT may maintain cash and cash equivalent positions (such as money market funds) for defensive and liquidity purposes. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all cash and cash equivalent positions will be included as part of assets under management for purposes of calculating COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT’s investment advisory fee. Fees and Compensation _____________________________________________________________________________________ Description COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. bases its fees on a percentage of assets under 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.). 8 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  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. Performance-Based Fees ____________________________________________________________________________________ Sharing of Capital Gains Fees are not based on a share of the capital gains or capital appreciation of managed securities. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not use a performance-based fee structure. Performance-based compensation may create an incentive for the advisor to recommend an investment that may carry a higher degree of risk to the client. Types of Clients _____________________________________________________________________________________ Descriptions COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. generally provides investment advice to individuals, non-profits, trusts, estates and other business entities. Client relationships vary in scope and length of service. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Account Minimums The minimum account size is $100,000 of assets under management. There is no minimum fee. Accounts of less than $100,000 may be set up when the client and the advisor anticipate the client will add additional funds to the accounts bringing the total to $100,000 within a reasonable time. Other exceptions will apply to the employees of COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. and their relatives, or relatives of existing clients. Methods of Analysis, Investment Strategies and Risk of Loss _____________________________________________________________________________________ Method of Analysis Security analysis methods may include charting, fundamental analysis, technical analysis, and cyclical analysis. The main sources of information include financial newspapers and magazines, company meetings, company conference calls and press releases, inspections of corporate activities, research materials prepared by others, corporate rating services, annual reports, prospectus and filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. 9 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  Other sources of information that COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. may use include Morningstar and Charles Schwab research services, and the World Wide Web. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 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. ____________________________________________________________________________________ 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 example, Treasury Bills are highly liquid, while real estate properties are not. 10 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.   Financial Risk: Excessive borrowing to finance a business’ operations decreases the risk of profitability, because the company must meet the terms of its obligations in good times and bad. Excessively high debt may result in bankruptcy and/or a declining market value. Disciplinary Information ______________________________________________________________________________________ Legal and Disciplinary The firm has not been involved in legal or disciplinary events related to past or present investment clients. Other Financial Industry Activities and Affiliations ______________________________________________________________________________________ Financial Industry Activity COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not engage in other financial industry related activities, outside of those activities previously described that relate directly to providing investment advisory and/or financial planning services to clients. ______________________________________________________________________________________ Affiliations COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. may from time-to-time enter into arrangements that are material to its advisory or its clients. These arrangements are fully disclosed to our clients prior to engagement. An example of such an arrangement would be with another investment advisory firm or consultant, where their services are unique and required by the client. These arrangements, where applicable, are documented in the form of a Solicitation Agreement with the related person who, as mentioned, could be an individual, another investment advisor, accounting firm, insurance firm, etc. Code of Ethics, Participation, or Interest in Client Transactions and Personal Trading _____________________________________________________________________________________ Code of Ethics The employees of COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. have committed to a Code of Ethics that is available for review by clients and prospective clients upon request. The firm will provide a copy of the Code of Ethics to any client or prospective client upon request. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Participation or Interest in Client Transactions COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. and its employees may not buy or sell securities ahead of client trades. Employees comply with the provisions of COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.’S Compliance Manual. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Personal Trading The Chief Compliance Officer of COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. is Robert F. Costello, Jr. He reviews all employee trades each quarter. His trades are reviewed by his office staff. The trading reviews ensure that the personal trading of employees does not affect the markets, and that clients of the firm receive preferential treatment. Since most employee trades are done in highly liquid investments, the trades do not affect the securities markets. 11 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  Brokerage Practices _____________________________________________________________________________________ Selecting Brokerage Firms COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not have any business affiliation with specific brokerage firms. Custodian recommendations are made to clients based on their need for such services. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. recommends custodians based on the proven integrity and financial responsibility of the firm and the best execution of orders at reasonable commission rates. The account custodian holds the securities managed by COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, Inc. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. recommends discount brokerage firms and trust companies (qualified custodians), such as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. Trust companies may charge a yearly fee in addition to the COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC, advisory fee. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not receive fees or commissions from any of these arrangements, but may receive services/tools through the custodians’ platforms such as: research, access to conferences, etc. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Best Execution By selecting only top-tier custodians and brokerage firms who are scrutinized by government agencies, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. can rely on the Best Execution practices of each of the custodians utilized. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not receive any portion of the trading fees that may be charged to a client by a particular custodian. This is done to ensure clients receive the best prices available on executed trades. Unlike stock trading, there is no single bond trading exchange for best executions. Custodians may limit third-party trading services to client accounts with $100,000 or more in managed assets. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Soft Dollars COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. receives no soft dollar credits from any of the custodians that are recommended to clients. Soft dollar credits, or the provision of valued services for free (such as securities research, subscriptions, etc.) by a larger investment or custodial firm, have been determined to be influential and possibly not in the best interests of clients. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Order Aggregation Most trades are stocks and no client receives order aggregation to the benefit of another client. Review of Accounts _______________________________________________________________________ Periodic Reviews Account reviews are performed at least quarterly by Robert F. Costello, Jr. Account reviews may be performed more frequently if market conditions dictate. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Review Triggers Other conditions that may trigger a review are changes in the tax laws, new investment information, and changes in a client’s own situation. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Regular Reports Account reviewers are members of the firm’s Investment Committee. They are instructed to consider the client’s current security positions and the likelihood that the performance of each security will contribute to the investment objectives of the client. 12 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  Investment Advisory clients receive written quarterly updates. The written updates include a portfolio holdings statement, quarterly portfolio performance statement and a quarterly investment advisory management fee. Client Referrals ____________________________________________________________________________________ Incoming Referrals COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. has been fortunate to receive many client referrals over the years. The referrals came from current clients, estate planning attorneys, accountants, employees, personal friends of employees and other similar sources. The firm may compensate referring parties for these referrals. Referring agents may only receive compensation when clients acknowledge the relationship in writing prior to management of the account. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Referrals Out COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not accept referral fees or any form of remuneration from other professionals when a client prospect is referred to them. Custody ____________________________________________________________________________________ Account Statements All assets are held at qualified custodians such as Charles Schwab & Co., Inc., which means the custodians provide account statements directly to clients at their address of record at least quarterly. Clients receive security trade confirms immediately after each transaction from the account custodian. Clients also receive monthly (no less than quarterly) investment account statements from their qualified custodian. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. remains available to address any questions that a client has regarding advisory fees. The Investment Advisory Fee Agreement authorizes COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. to debit client accounts for payment of quarterly management fees and to directly remit those funds to COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. in accordance with applicable custody rules. The client should review their account statements and verify the fee debited is correct. In 2017, the SEC updated regulations regarding the custody rule of client accounts. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. has limited custody as it applies to standing letters of authorizations (SLOAs) and debiting client accounts to remit fees. As COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. takes no physical custody of client’s cash or securities the firm is exempt from additional requirements imposed on advisor. ______________________________________________________________________________ Performance Reports Clients should review the account statements received directly from their custodians and the quarterly reports provided by COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. Investment Discretion _____________________________________________________________________________________ Discretionary Authority for Trading COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. only accepts discretionary authority to trade in client investment accounts. Trading in a client account will proceed after obtaining trading discretion. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. will not consult with the client prior to a specific planned trade. Trading discretion is limited to purchases and sales of account holdings. The client approves the custodian to be used and the commission rates paid to the custodian. COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not receive any portion of the transaction fees 13 COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC.  or commissions paid by the client to the custodian on trades. If the client does not have a specific custodian in mind, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. will recommend a custodian. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Limited Power of Attorney A limited power of attorney is trading authorization that is executed with your account custodian (for instance Charles Schwab) for this purpose. The client signs a limited power of attorney so that COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. may execute the managed account trades. Voting Client Securities _____________________________________________________________________________________ Proxy Votes COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not vote proxies on securities. Clients are expected to vote their own proxies. When assistance on voting proxies is requested, COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. will provide recommendations to the client. If a conflict of interest exists, it will be disclosed to the client. Financial Information _____________________________________________________________________________________ Financial Condition COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. does not have any financial impairment that will preclude the firm from meeting contractual commitments to clients. Business Continuity Plan _____________________________________________________________________________________ General COSTELLO ASSET MANAGEMENT, INC. has a Business Continuity Plan in place that provides detailed steps to mitigate and recover from the loss of office space, communications, services or key people. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Disasters The Business Continuity Plan covers natural disasters such as snow storms, hurricanes, tornados, and flooding. The Plan covers man-made disasters such as loss of electrical power, loss of water pressure, fire, bomb threat, nuclear emergency, chemical event, biological event, communications line outage or internet outage. Electronic files are backed up by the custodians and archived offsite. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Alternative Offices Alternative offices are identified to support ongoing operations in the event the main office is unavailable. It is our intention to contact all clients within five days of a disaster that dictates moving our office to an alternate location. _____________________________________________________________________________________ Loss of Key Personnel In the event of the disability or death of Robert F. Costello, Jr., client accounts will be managed by the remaining employees.
