With this post I hope to inspire others who are thinking about following a similar approach. My net-worth over the last 9 years is shown in the image below. I have been applying this investment strategy for the last 9 years and I would like to share my progress with you. Around 17.5% is invested in European equities Around 17.5% is invested in Emerging Market equities Around 17.5% is invested in US equities Around 17.5% is invested in Canadian equities Around 10% is invested in Real Estate (XRE)

Around 20% of my money is invested in Bonds/GICs My deepest thanks goes to all members of this forum for educating me about financial planning and investing.Īfter I graduated from university 9 years ago I decided to save around 50% of my after tax income and invest the savings in a low cost diversified portfolio using TD e-series index funds and ETFs. I learned so much from this forum and it made me a much better investor. I have never posted much on this forum, but I have been following it for a very long time and read it almost on a daily basis.
