About
Caldwell Sutter Capital serves primarily high‑net‑worth individuals, their families, and related accounts, and the firm also accepts corporations and municipal clients. It provides portfolio management and financial planning and is dually registered as an SEC investment adviser and a FINRA‑member broker‑dealer while also holding registration as a municipal advisor.
The firm constructs separate, customized equity and fixed‑income portfolios through strategies such as CS Value Equity, CS Value Income, and CS Strategic Diversified, relying on a bottom‑up, fundamental value process that emphasizes long‑term, buy‑and‑hold investing in niche or structurally inefficient securities. Advisors collect client investment profiles and perform proprietary research to tailor allocations and select municipal and corporate bonds based on relative value and client liquidity, tax, and income needs.
Distinctive operational features include its broker‑dealer activities (including principal and agency‑cross transactions and a practice of recommending its broker‑dealer or affiliated clearing arrangements for execution in certain strategies), its status as a licensed insurance agency whose representatives may earn commission‑based compensation for insurance sales, and its registration as a municipal advisor. The brochure also discloses that the firm may trade client accounts on margin and that these multiple roles create potential conflicts of interest, with policies described to address and mitigate those conflicts.

Advisors at this firm
Not sure where to start?
We'll help you think it through—whether you ultimately need an advisor or not. Warmer helps you compare advisors clearly, so you can choose with confidence.
For advisor listings, we rely on sources including public filings and data provided by advisors, and we cannot guarantee that all information is current or accurate. Advisors are independent and may not have reviewed or updated this information. Please review an advisor’s Form ADV and do your own diligence before deciding whether to work with them.
Advisor matching and introductions are provided by FinanceHQ LLC (“FHQ”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Warmer and an SEC-registered investment advisor. We receive compensation from certain participating advisors for introductions or referrals. This creates a conflict of interest because we have an incentive to recommend advisors who compensate us, including those who pay us more. You pay no fee to use our matching service, and advisor fees are not increased because of a referral or introduction. We do not review the ongoing performance of advisors, manage or hold assets, guarantee performance, or provide advice about specific investments.
By using our service, you agree to our Terms of Service and Advisory Agreement, and acknowledge our Privacy Policy. Please review FHQ’s ADV Part 2A and Form CRS. Logos provided by Logo.dev
