Tyler Linsten is a fee-only financial advisor at Alder Cove Capital, LLC in Tukwila, WA.

A lifelong Washingtonian, and current Seattle resident with my wife, I completed my business degree (finance) at the University of Washington, have earned the right to use the Chartered Financial Analyst®  (CFA) designation, and have deliberately not sat for the examinations which allow advisors to earn commissions from clients. Joining other fee-only, independent advisors who have signed a fiduciary pledge to always put client interests first, I am a member of XY Planning Network.  I have also been a member of CFA Society Seattle, and currently volunteer as a member of the Supervisory Committee at Waterfront Federal Credit Union in Seattle.

I enjoy a round of golf here or there when it’s not soggy, and you’ll likely see me leaving some Easter egg mentions in these parts referencing how brutal it is to be a diehard Seattle Mariners fan – which is one investment of time I advise you avoid, if you value your sanity.
