How Cindy Turned Smart Planning into $400K+: A Millennial Investment Success Story

Aug 27, 2025

  1. Starting Early: When Others Hesitate, She Invests

With guidance from AiF, Cindy, then still an international student, began her investment journey in 2021 with a small TFSA contribution of $13,000. After seeing stable and above-expected returns in just a few months, she gained confidence and made additional contributions: $10,000 in 2022 and over $17,000 in early 2023.

In 2024, she contributed another $14,000. By August 2025, her TFSA account had grown to a net return of $17,000+ — an impressive 40% return on her $44,500 total contributions.

Seeing the power of long-term planning, Cindy went on to max out all her registered accounts — TFSA, RRSP, FHSA — with no room left unused. This level of structure and decisiveness is rare for someone her age.

In February 2025, she further invested $10,000 in her RRSP, demonstrating her commitment to long-term strategy.

While others her age are still unsure about money, Cindy’s registered accounts have quietly accumulated nearly $100,000 in value — not just numbers, but real financial strength.

  1. Leveraging Smartly: Make Your Money Work Faster

After gaining Canadian permanent residency, Cindy made a bold move: with AiF’s help, she applied for a government-backed investment loan and used it alongside segregated funds to multiply her gains with controlled risk.

Investment Loan Summary:

  • Total Loan Amount: $200,000
    • B2B Bank: $100,000 (Split into two loans in Nov 2022 and June 2023)
    • Manulife Bank: $100,000 (June 2023)

As of August 2025, her loan-funded investments grew to $307,531, generating:

✅ Profit: $107,531
✅ Return: 53.7%
✅ Leverage ROI: 222%

  1. Family Planning: From Herself to Her Next Generation

Today, Cindy not only has a strong financial cushion for her family, she’s also started a RESP account for her future child’s education. No matter where the economy heads, her long-term lifestyle, retirement, and child’s tuition are all secured.

Overall Portfolio (2021–2025)

✅ Total Investment: $282,658
✅ Current Value: $415,515
✅ Net Profit: $132,857
✅ Total ROI: 47%

  1. One Platform, Full Visibility

Cindy holds segregated fund accounts across four different insurance companies. In the past, checking balances meant logging into each provider separately — time-consuming and tedious.

With AiFundTech, she now only needs one login to view all her accounts: fund performance, TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP — all in one place.

This has empowered her to see the big picture and make decisions quickly and confidently.
