With over twelve years of experience in the financial markets, Christie joined
Sovereign in 2008 as our Senior Municipal Trader. In this role, Christie will
assist in the development of broad-market strategies and will lead in the
analysis of relative value across sectors and between issuers – all within the
municipal bond market.
Immediately prior to joining Sovereign, Christie served as a senior municipal
bond trader for Wachovia’s Evergreen Investments - one of the twenty five
largest asset management firms in the country. Within Evergreen, Christie
focused her talents on the Customized Solutions Group, a specialty division
serving the unique needs of highly tailored portfolios for individuals and
institutions alike. In this role, she served as a market advisor to the
portfolio management staff, responsible for the analysis and communication of
market events, the determination of relative value and the broad execution of
all strategies within the municipal market. During her tenure with Wachovia,
Christie also served within the Capital Markets Group, providing trading support
between the bank, the Depository Trust Company (DTC) and the Federal Reserve.
Christie earned a B.A. degree (Industrial Relations) in 1995 from the University
of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. While at Carolina, she was also a member of
the varsity gymnastics team – amazingly enough, finding the time to place three
years running on the prestigious ACC Honor Roll.
