GunnAllen Financial is a full service brokerage firm that offers a variety of financial services including equity and fixed income securities, mutual funds, fee-based programs, and institutional services. GunnAllen Financial has been established as a national presence as it has been registered in all states and jurisdictions.

When GunnAllen Financial acquired an equity interest in Palm Harbor-based, HarborLight Capital Management, LLC, HarborLight’s President, Dean G. Tanella joined the company as the Executive Vice President of Capital Markets and as a member of its Board of Directors.

The newly formed Capital Markets Group is solely responsible for the new Alternative Products Platform as well as the traditional capital markets areas of investment banking, syndicate, and institutional sales and trading. As the Executive Vice President of the Capital Markets Group, Tanella will also continue to be the President, and the Head Portfolio Manager of HarborLight Capital Management, LLC, a manager of fund-of-funds products.

In his new position at GunnAllen Financial, Tanella is responsible for launching new alternative products, including hedge funds and fund-of-funds product offerings for all their retail brokers nationwide. As the Executive Vice President of the Capital Markets Group, Tanella is responsible for managing the expansion of investment banking, syndicate business, and the institutional sales and trading departments.

GunnAllen Financial's Capital Markets Group is committed to providing value-added products and services to fulfill the needs of our corporate, institutional, and high net-worth clients. Our primary focus is to satisfy the interests and desires of our investor base by offering a broad array of client-driven solutions.

Being the Executive Vice President of the Capital Markets Group, Dean G. Tanella is the ideal choice for the position. Prior to joining GunnAllen Financial, Tanella served exclusively as the President and Chief Executive Officer of HarborLight Capital Management, LLC (HCM). Under Tanella’s leadership, HarborLight Capital Management functions as an SEC-registered investment adviser that manages the HarborLight Diversified Fund, LP/Ltd. and the Safe Harbor Canada, LP.

At GunnAllen Financial, CEO, Richard A. Frueh is glad to have Tanella as a part of the company, as he believes Tanella is a valuable addition to their team. Tanella has clearly demonstrated an intimate knowledge of mutual fund managers and private investment managers and continues to be a great asset to the firm.
