Form CRS (Client Relationship Summary)

Item 1. Introduction

Monticello Associates Inc. is an investment adviser registered with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. We are not a broker-dealer and do not offer brokerage services. Because brokerage and advisory services and fees differ, it is important for retail investors like you to know the differences. You may access free and simple tools to research firms and financial professionals at Investor.gov/CRS, which also provides educational materials about broker-dealers, investment advisers, and investing.

Item 2. Relationships and Services

Item 3. Fees, Costs, Conflicts, and Standard of Conduct

What fees will I pay? We charge you a consulting fee based on several factors, including the amount of your assets under advisement and the level and complexity of our service to you. This consulting fee is an annual-based fee that is payable in quarterly installments at the beginning of each quarter. This consulting fee does not include investment management fees, transaction costs, or custodial fees that are charged by other service providers. Our consulting agreement generally does not have a termination date. Accordingly, either of us may terminate the agreement at any time, upon prior written notice. If an agreement is terminated, we will prorate any pre-paid consulting fees and refund the outstanding amount. Because our consulting fee is based on the amount of your assets under advisement, we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets under advisement. You will pay fees and costs whether you make or lose money on your investments. Fees and costs will reduce any amount of money you make on your investments over time. Please make sure you understand what fees and costs you are paying.

What are your legal obligations to me when acting as my investment adviser? How else does your firm make money and what conflicts of interest do you have? When we act as your investment adviser, we have to act in your best interest and not put our interest ahead of yours. To that end, we do not: (i) have any proprietary products that are issued, sponsored, or managed by us or our affiliates, (ii) receive any compensation from third parties for any investments that we recommend to you, (iii) share in any revenue from managers that we recommend to you, or (iv) engage in any investment transactions with you. At the same time, the way we make money creates some potential conflicts with your interests. As mentioned above, we have an incentive to encourage you to increase the assets under advisement because our consulting fee is based on the amount of your assets under advisement. You should understand and ask us about these potential conflicts because they can affect the investment advice we provide you.
