The Independent – Readers of the financial pages will be well aware of Nicola Horlick, the superstar fund manager who landed the nickname “superwoman” as she juggled a high-powered career with raising six children. She appears less regularly in the arts section, but that is set to change as her new money-making venture has Hollywood in its sights.
Horlick may be more comfortable in the Square Mile than Pinewood, but she believes her expertise in running portfolios and assessing risk can prove lucrative when applied to film-making. This is no Damascene conversion from the world of finance to the creative arts, as some in the City experienced in the wake of the crash. “It’s all about making money,” she says.
