\t\t\t\tCharles Marquardt, Evergreen Investment Management Co. LLC’s former chief administrator, has settled charges filed by the US Securities and Exchange Commission that he sold Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund shares after obtaining insider information that a number of the MBS holdings were going to drop down in value. Marquardt worked for Evergreen at the time he allegedly engaged in insider trading<\/a> and served as the Evergreen Ultra Short Opportunities Fund’s investment adviser. The mutual fund mostly invested in mortgage-backed securities.<\/p>\n

On June 11, 2008, he allegedly found out about the likely decrease in value of several of its MBS holdings and that there was a possibility that the Ultra Fund could end up shutting down. Marquardt is accused of having redeemed all of his shares the following day. One of his family members also sold Ultra Fund shares. Marquardt and his relative avoided incurring $4,803 and $14,304 in financial losses, respectively. The fund was liquidated on June 19 of that year.<\/p>\n

To settle the charges against him, the investment adviser has agreed to a bar from future violations, as well as to a two-year industry bar. He will pay a $19,107 civil penalty, $1,242 in prejudgment interest, and $19,107 in disgorgement. By settling, Marquardt is not admitting to or denying wrongdoing. <\/p>\n
