Mrs. Z and Mr. Y are a couple known for their rational, data-obsessed approach to decisions. She excels at planning living expenses, while he rigorously compares every expenditure. In early 2021, they began to hear friends talking about AiF Financial—and how a reliable financial planner can bring calm and confidence during market turbulence. They wondered: “Why do others invest confidently while we stay on the sidelines?” Inspired, Mrs. Z decided to take the first step 

The Journey Begins: A Financial Planner’s Tailored Strategy

On January 22, 2021, Mrs. Z opened her TFSA with $6,000. She told the AiF financial planner she wanted to “see the results first.” Instead of jumping straight into product pitches, the financial planner took a holistic view—reviewing her assets, planning different investment configurations, and modeling projected growth across scenarios, even starting with just $6,000. This structured, data-driven method quickly built trust.

One month later, on February 24, 2021, Mrs. Z confidently added $68,004 to her TFSA, marking the start of a full partnership with the AiF team. Additional investments followed after consultation:

  • June 29, 2022: +$6,000

  • November 8, 2024: +$6,500
    Total TFSA contributions reached $86,504.10. By May 12, 2025, the account had grown to $126,575.33.

Summary of the couple’s total investment return over four years:

Loan-Based Investing: Strategic Leverage Guided by the Financial Planner

Simultaneously, the planner recommended coordinating non-registered and TFSA accounts for diversification. Mrs. Z trusted this advice and began supplementing her investments:

  • January 22, 2021: $50,000 investment loan

  • July 29, 2021: $100,000 investment loan (Manulife) 

  • November 2024: $100,000 investment loan (Canada Life)

By May 12, 2025, her non-registered portfolio value reached $217,252, with loan interest totaling $36,700, and a net profit of $30,552. This wasn’t a gamble—it was a thoughtfully structured, planner-guided leverage strategy.

Broadening the Plan: Mr. Y Enters with a Financial Planner’s Support

Mrs. Z’s progress impressed Mr. Y, who joined in 2022 on her recommendation. The AiF financial planner reviewed his situation and suggested both TFSA and loan-backed investing:

  • June 23, 2022: Mr. Y’s TFSA opened with $24,000; added $6,500 in July 2023
    • TFSA value by May 12, 2025: $49,593.92

  • June 27, 2022: $100,000 investment loan
    • Current account value: $168,646.34
    • Loan interest: $20,750, net profit: $47,896
    • Real return: 231%

Again, the success stemmed from professional strategy, not luck. The couple leaned on expert advice to manage structure, timing, and risk—even when leveraging.
