The Tax-Free Savings Account (TFSA) was launched as an alternative registered account for Canadians back in January 2009. When it first launched, Canadian investors could only contribute $5,000 in the first year of its existence. Annual contributions have shot up and down in the years since. The cumulative contribution room in a TFSA now stands at $81,500. Today, I want to look at four stocks that will allow you to churn out attractive passive income going forward.
It is important to note that Canadian investors should seek to diversify their portfolios. This article offers an example of how these four stocks combined can serve up nice passive income in your TFSA. In this hypothetical scenario, we’re going to utilize all our cumulative room of $81,500. Let’s jump in.
This stock is a promising target for the future, which makes it perfect for a TFSA
Sienna Senior Living (TSX: SIA) is a Markham-based company that provides senior living and long-term care (LTC) services in Canada. Seniors are set to grow to nearly a quarter of the total Canadian population by 2030. Shares of this TSX stock have plunged 21% in 2022 as of close on October 25. That has pushed the stock into negative territory in the year-over-year period.
This dividend stock closed at $11.97 on October 25. In our hypothetical, we’ll look to snatch up 1,750 shares of Sienna Senior Living for a purchase price of $20,947.50. Sienna offers a monthly distribution of $0.078 per share. That represents a huge 7.8% yield. This investment will allow us to generate monthly passive income of $136.50 in our TFSA.
Here’s an energy stock that is designed to provide passive income to its shareholders
Freehold Royalties (TSX: FRU) is a Calgary-based oil and gas royalty company that owns working interests in oil, natural gas, natural gas liquids, and potash properties in Western Canada and the United States.
