Lyn Alden

Lyn Alden worked as an aerospace engineer before transitioning to financial analysis. She founded Lyn Alden Investment Strategy, an independent research service that provides macro economic analysis and portfolio construction guidance. Her research is known for its accessibility and depth, covering topics including fiscal dominance (the idea that fiscal policy can override monetary policy effectiveness), currency dynamics, commodity cycles, and portfolio diversification for individual investors. She also covers digital assets including Bitcoin as a macro asset. Her research reaches a large audience of retail investors and financial professionals through her newsletter, social media, and her book "Broken Money." Her analysis of the US fiscal and monetary trajectory — examining the interaction between large government deficits, Federal Reserve balance sheet management, and dollar reserve currency dynamics — has resonated with investors seeking frameworks for navigating a potentially inflationary long-term environment.
