Portfolio Value Update - July 2025

Portfolio Value
In July, my portfolio increased by $3,748, growing from $195,919 to $199,667. I'm pleased to see it approaching the $200K milestone - a meaningful benchmark. Most of the growth was driven by stock appreciation, and I’m hopeful this positive momentum will carry into August.

On the contribution side, I’ve been steadily adding to my TFSA. I contributed $3,000 over the first six months of the year, and in July, I transferred another $3,000 from a taxable account. This leaves me with a remaining TFSA contribution room of $1,000 for the rest of the year.
