About Us

Tangent Capital is a merchant bank that was founded by Jim Peet and Bob Rice in 2004. The name conveys our focus on uncorrelated, alternative assets and strategies: we strive for returns independent of the "curves" of the public markets.

From inception, we have sought to exploit our interdisciplinary expertise to understand unusual opportunities and construct intelligent investments in them, especially those in which significant regulatory, legal, or political considerations are present.

In 2007, the founders began offering brokerage services through Tangent Capital Partners, a registered broker-dealer and member of FINRA and SIPC. Like Tangent Capital itself, TCP has been active in several industries, but is especially focused on alternative assets and structured investments, where the breadth of our expertise may allow us to develop novel approaches that benefit all stakeholders.
