In March, my portfolio value increased by $3,424 from 154,711 to $158,135. It was a good month for Canadian markets. The TSX Composite Index has gained 800 points and advanced to 3-year high. The bank stocks contributed to my portfolio growth this month.
Dividends
Dividends received in March 2024: $759.02
Dividends received in March 2023: $676.62
Year-Over-Year Dividend Growth: $82.40 or 12.18%
Year-To-Date Dividend Income: $2,247.04
The dividend growth is at 12.18% compared to the same period of last year. The growth rate is sustained by dividend reinvesting and dividend increases.
Transactions
Bought 4 shares of Brookfield Renewable (BEPC.TO) for $31.70 per share
Bought 6 shares of Bell (BCE.TO) for $48.51 per share
Bought 10 shares of Smart REIT (SRU.UN.TO) for $22.66 per share
All purchases were funded by dividends. As of 2024, I have a new contribution room of $7,000 in my TFSA Account. I didn’t start funding my TFSA yet because I’m prioritizing mortgage payments in the first half of this year. I will probably contribute to my TFSA in Q3. Meanwhile, I will continue reinvesting the dividends.
Ads Revenue
In March, I collected $264.57 in adsense revenue from my YouTube channel. It was a slow month again. The ad rates are down and the views are down too. I’m not worried about that, because my YouTube channel is only my hobby and whatever income I get from it is either used for investments or day-to-day spending.
March 2024 YouTube Stats:
- 121.7K Views
- Added 119 New Subscribers
- $264.57 Revenue
- Daily Average $8.53
March 2024 Summary
Portfolio Value: $158,135
