Case Study: Caldwell Sutter Capital achieves GIPS compliance and unified cross-custody reporting with Black Diamond Wealth Platform

Caldwell Sutter Capital - Customer Case Study

Caldwell Sutter Capital, a Sausalito-based hybrid broker-dealer/RIA with $647 million AUM, faced fragmented operations after multiple acquisitions left data spread across TD Ameritrade, Wedbush (their clearing firm), trust companies and other custodians. To consolidate reporting and automate their back office, Caldwell Sutter selected the Black Diamond Wealth Platform as their integrated reporting solution.

The Black Diamond Wealth Platform delivered unified data feeds (including Wedbush), consolidated reporting, and calculated returns used to construct GIPS composites—enabling Caldwell Sutter to become GIPS compliant and simplify operations. That tighter technology stack sped up reporting, made serving clients “wherever their money is located” possible, and became a clear differentiator when competing for new business.
