Eric J. Linser, CFA
"If you ask me to name the proudest distinction of
Americans, I would choose -- because it contains all the others -- the
fact that they were the people who created the phrase "to make money." No
other language or nation had ever used these words before; men had
always thought of wealth as a static quantity -- to be seized, begged,
inherited, shared, looted or obtained as a favor. Americans were the
first to understand that wealth has to be created." ~ Ayn Rand

Chief Investment Officer
After the better part of two decades as a successful financial advisor, Eric felt a need to provide individual investors with more knowledgeable guidance and counseling around wealth management. To that end, he built an investment advisory practice around honesty, integrity and experience.
Eric is a Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) charterholder and has been actively involved in investment management, research, and providing financial advice since 1990. Eric believes that to be an exceptional advisor, one must instill confidence, build trust, and exhibit integrity to current and prospective clients alike.
His life-long passion for investing led him on a path of working with registered investment advisory (RIA) firms and larger firms such as Merrill Lynch and Wells Fargo, until he had an awakening moment and realized there were many people who were utterly lacking the knowledge and guidance necessary to achieve a successful retirement. He established Green Valley Wealth Advisors, a fee-only RIA, to assist individuals, families, and businesses in need of sound counsel.
Eric received his Bachelor of Business Administration degree in Finance from Kent State University where he graduated cum laude. He is a member of the CFA Institute, the CFA Society of San Francisco, and a former member of the NASDAQ Institutional Advisory Counsel.
Eric lives in San Francisco with his wife and young son (see the picture to the right); they're his inspiration. Eric enjoys bicycling, backpacking, and time with family and friends.
