Tangent Capital provides select alternative investment managers with systematic coverage of institutional investors in North America, Europe, Latin America, Australasia and the Middle East. Our centralized legal and project management infrastructure offers managers a single point of accountability and transparency, while our network of affiliated marketers, placement agents, consultants and retail distributors offers managers unparalleled access to all significant pools of investable assets globally, including pension funds, funds of funds, family offices, endowments, foundations, and private wealth advisors. Members of our affiliate network have raised in excess of five billion dollars for alternatives managers over the last decade.

Tangent Capital provides investment banking solutions to alternative asset managers, employing a systematic approach to identify opportunities. Our transaction expertise spans traditional mergers and acquisitions, investment team lift-outs and bolt-ons, and complex asset raises, including seed and acceleration investments. We accept select engagements on both the sell-side and the buy-side, where our clients currently include several of the largest alternative investment managers.

Tangent Capital understands pre-public companies in a way few institutions do: our principals have started, invested in, managed, purchased, and exited scores of private companies over the past fifteen years. Our team combines extensive personal entrepreneurial experience with the perspective of seasoned investors, bankers, and lawyers.

Importantly, Tangent is also a leader in the use of “private market networks” to locate strategic partners, buyers, and investors for our clients. For example, we are the exclusive broker-dealer for the AxialMarket Platform, to which nearly 500 premier institutional investors subscribe. In addition, one of our principals is a Director of Angelsoft.net, the platform used by over 600 angel groups worldwide to find, filter, and manage funding opportunities.

That’s why we say that Tangent combines old school values—acquired from years of personal experience with every aspect of early stage companies—with new school expertise. We think that’s a powerful combination for entrepreneurs looking for strategic advice, funding, or potential exit strategies.

Tangent Capital professionals have many decades of experience in providing capital raising, strategic advisory, and legal services to mid-sized banks and financial institutions. In the current environment, we are focused on implementing structured solutions for non-performing asset portfolios that have one crucial goal: to allow banks to get back to banking.

Accordingly, we have developed several approaches to acquire NPA at reasonable prices in transactions that, through a combination of structure and new capital, are designed to result in a stronger, more flexible institution. Of course, each case is unique, and requires careful dialogue with the institution’s management, advisors, and regulators. Nonetheless, in many circumstances, Tangent Capital offers practical, attractive solutions to the most profound issues mid-tier banks face today.

In addition to one-bank solutions, Tangent has an expert bank merger and acquisition practice which advises on transactions that result in a merged entity which leaves all participating holders better off. This is done by combining regional strength and franchise value while providing a platform which attracts new capital and allows for distressed asset disposition in ways unavailable to single institutions. These mergers are done with a view to roll-up acquisition potential, strategic use of balance sheets and well conceived exits.
