On the Couch with Jonathan Nurick - DivGro CIO - May 2025

On the Couch

Welcome to the latest 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, Nurick co-founded investment fund DivGro, born out of the investment philosophy his family office has been implementing for decades. His father, Matthew Nurick, was one of the directors of prominent London-based fund of hedge funds pioneer Momentum Group.
• The funds approach is rooted in academic research (led by Myron Gordon, father of the Gordon Growth Model) linking long-term dividend growth and share price appreciation.

Talking Points

• Why dividends offer insight into a company’s health and long-term prospects
• When considering dividends, should investors be focused on immediate income generation (i.e. high initial yields) or long-term capital growth?
