Christians one of Barron's 2019 Top 100 Women Financial Advisors

Merrill Wealth Management Advisor Nicole Christians has been recognized on the 2019 Barron's list of "Top 100 Women Financial Advisors." Christians is one of just three Merrill financial advisors in Michigan named to the Barron's list.

This recognition is not only an industry honor, but also a testament to her accomplishments. Christians joined Merrill Lynch in 2002 and works with high-net-worth clients on estate, wealth, and tax planning strategies. She is a senior portfolio manager.

As a founding member of Merrill Lynch’s Advisor Growth Network, Christians sits on the client experience and social media expansion committees. The network consists of a group of 25 Merrill Lynch financial advisors from across the county that serve as key consultants to the firm’s senior management on matters relating to practice optimization.

Christians is a certified financial planner and holds the chartered retirement planning counselor professional designation. She has been a participant of the Barron’s Top Women Advisors Summit since 2016 and is a founding member of 100 Businesses Who Care and a member of the National Association of Women Business Owners.
