Bramdean ran a number of alternative investment mandates before selling the bulk of its business to Aberdeen at the end of 2009. In 2011, Nicola became one of the founding partners and Chairman of Rockpool Investments LLP, a private equity business. She remained as Chairman until early 2015.

Nicola read Law at Balliol College, Oxford and she was made an Honorary Fellow of Balliol last year. She has over thirty-five years of experience managing funds and was responsible for leading the development of some of the UK’s best known fund management companies, including Mercury Asset Management (now BlackRock), Morgan Grenfell Asset Management (now Aberdeen) and SG Asset Management, where she built assets under management to £7 billion within three years.

In 2013, Nicola co-founded Money&Co. and remains as its CEO today. Money&Co. allows individuals and family offices looking for a better return on cash to lend to good quality SMEs based in the UK.
