Who We Are

Tom Christie has made a name for himself in the Calgary financial services community with a career spanning more than three decades, the majority of which has been with BMO Nesbitt Burns. While possessing in-depth overall business expertise and insight, he has particular skills in the areas of wealth creation and preservation. He has authored numerous articles on these subjects in leading wealth management periodicals and is widely acknowledged as an industry expert.

Tom possesses the type of highly analytical mind that makes him ideally suited to the complexities of today’s investment industry. And his ability to consistently deliver positive results over decades of professional practice has made him a respected leader and sought-after advisor in a highly competitive profession.

Tom is an alumnus of the University of Calgary, where he graduated with an honours degree in Economics. In his spare time, depending on the season, he can be found on the golf links, hitting the bike trails or in the mountains partaking in some of Alberta’s world-class skiing.

With more than 25 years of direct investment management experience, Anna has honed a professional approach that has come to serve both her and her clients exceptionally well: to initially focus on suitable asset allocation, then develop a diversified portfolio that delivers on short-, mid- and long-term goals.

Anna attended Laurentian University and soon after graduation began her financial investment career with Merrill Lynch Royal Securities. She joined BMO Nesbitt Burns 1984 and became a valued member of the Christie & Associates team in 1990.

When not working on her client’s behalf, she explores her creative side with her enjoyment of music, art and cooking. Working out, golfing and walking are activities she enjoys as well. Last but not least, Anna greatly enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Those who have passed the rigorous standards for this designation have proven they possess the skills and knowledge to evaluate and manage the most complex aspects of financial investment.

When not furthering the financial interests of his clients, Stuart spends time golfing, mountain biking or skiing, often in the company of his wife Carolyn, two children (Cruz and Remi) and black lab Bodhi.
