My TFSA vs My Margin Account: Who Wins The Performance Battle?

In this light-hearted showdown, I’m pitting my TFSA against my Margin account to see which one reigns supreme in total performance. We’re breaking down the returns across multiple timeframes—one week, one month, year-to-date, and all-time—to find out which strategy is actually winning the race. Beyond the numbers, I share the "why" behind each portfolio's construction. My TFSA is a US-focused powerhouse centered on all-in-one flagship funds, while my Margin account is a Canadian-tilted powerhouse built for diversification, yield, and tax efficiency. What I cover in this video: Portfolio Philosophy: Why you should never blindly copy an investor and how to build for your own specific goals. TFSA Deep Dive: A look at my US-focused strategy and how I use it to fund my current paternity leave (aka experimental retirement). Margin Account Strategy: Why I’m heavy on Canadian financials, utilities, and energy to counterbalance US tech concentration. The Comparison: A side-by-side performance battle—you might be surprised by how much one account is "crushing" the other. Taking Profits: My thoughts on selling when a fund hits the 20% growth threshold and why I’m watching certain Canadian funds very closely.
