For a long time, the success of an investment advisor was measured primarily by their ability to recommend products and expand their client portfolio. This model, however, no longer reflects an activity that has become more complex.
Today, professionals who stand out need to understand the client's goals and different life stages, as well as build a relationship that doesn't end after an investment.
The awards presented by XP during Expert XP 2026 reflect this change. The 15th edition of the Brazil Advisor Awards recognized the best offices and advisors in XP's partner network, while the Liga XP Awards recognized professionals from the company's own channels. The Wealth Services Awards, in turn, highlighted partner investment consultancies.
Although they encompass different operational models, the awards point in the same direction: consistent results increasingly depend on the ability to build lasting relationships and keep up with the changes in each client's life.
At the Brazil Advisor Awards, W1 Capital received the top recognition among partner firms, while Pedro Paulo Stama Figueira, from Alianco Invest, was elected the best advisor in Brazil.
The 15th edition of the awards included 14 categories and considered different dimensions of the business, from expansion and operational efficiency to resource allocation, including serving companies and operating in the private banking segment.
“The Brazil Advisor Awards has established itself as a reflection of the evolution of investment advisory activity in the country,” says Guilherme Sant'Anna, Director of Distribution and Segments at XP Inc. “More than recognizing results, the award values professionals and firms that have managed to build sustainable businesses, generate value for clients, and contribute to the development of the industry.”
Sant'Anna emphasizes that the process combines quantitative and qualitative indicators, such as growth, business development, expansion capacity, quality of service, and consistency of results over time.
The emphasis placed on the quality of service also reflects a change in investor behavior. More informed and with access to a greater number of alternatives, investors have come to expect a superior experience and closer support.
“In this context, the role of the advisor has also evolved, taking on an increasingly consultative role,” says Sant'Anna. “The difference lies in the ability to understand each client's context, help them make decisions with more confidence, and build a relationship based on trust over time.”
The XP League Awards, in turn, recognized professionals from the company's own channels who excelled in different areas of customer service. Leonardo Gomm Fantin took first place among advisors, in a list that also included leaders, professionals dedicated to serving legal entities, consultants, and members of the strategy area.
At the Wealth Services Awards, XP recognized the ten best-performing investment consultancies among its partners in its ecosystem, considering criteria such as growth and value creation for clients. Portfel won first place, with Simpla in second and Clube do Valor in third.
The recognition of consulting firms highlights the variety of financial guidance models that coexist in the market today. Investment is thus no longer treated in isolation but becomes part of a broader view of the client's financial life.
In this new scenario, the use of data, automation, and artificial intelligence has gained importance by increasing productivity, improving the quality of analyses, and expanding the time available for what remains essential: the relationship with the customer. "Technology doesn't replace relationships, but it has been an important driver of quality and scale in customer service," says Sant'Anna.
More than just recognizing professionals, firms, and consultancies based on their results, these awards help identify benchmark practices for the investment industry. "In a rapidly maturing market, this is an important moment to celebrate and distinguish those who are helping to raise the standard of the profession and inspiring the sector's next steps," concludes Sant'Anna.
