Welcome to another episode of On the Couch, the podcast series where we chat with brokers, CEOs, and fund managers to give you valuable insights into the investing world.

In this episode, Henry Jennings is joined by Jonathan Nurick, CIO and Founder of DivGro.

In 2019, Jonathan co-founded DivGro, an investment fund built on the same philosophy his family office has applied for decades. His father, Matthew Nurick, was a director at the prominent London-based fund of hedge funds pioneer, Momentum Group.

The fund's approach is rooted in academic research—led by Myron Gordon, father of the Gordon Growth Model—that links long-term dividend growth to share price appreciation.

Talking Points:

• Can you explain the DivGro philosophy?
• What is the Gordon Model?
• How a dividend focus can support investor psychology and help investors stay the course
• Using dividends as a lens to assess investment opportunities
• Key features of a dividend investors should pay attention to—and why
• Examples of how DivGro identifies and profits from rising dividends
• Why dividends offer insight into a company's health and long-term prospects
• Should investors focus on high yields now, or long-term capital growth?
• What advice would you give to retail investors in the current environment?
