XP Inc. Brazil investment expansion

Entities: Brazil · Guilherme Benchimol · XP Inc. · Central Bank of Brazil · Banco Bmg

Overview

At the Expert XP 2026 forum, CEO Thiago Maffra outlined a long‑term plan to double XP’s assets under custody to roughly R$4 trillion by 2033, positioning the firm as Brazil’s leading investment platform. The strategy emphasizes expanding services for individuals and corporations, launching a corporate credit card with up to 1.2 % cashback, and creating a financing arm for foreign‑trade transactions. XP’s early growth was driven by financial‑education outreach, such as street flyers and public lectures, which helped build trust among Brazilian investors.

A few days later, founder and executive chairman Guilherme Benchimol called for a fiscal adjustment to lower Brazil’s high Selic rate, which stood at 14.25 %. He argued that a more sustainable macro‑economic environment is needed for the investment sector to thrive. Benchimol highlighted that XP already serves about five million customers with R$1.5 trillion in assets under custody and offers high‑yield fixed‑income products, while noting broader market promotions like Banco Bmg’s CDB campaigns. The statements link XP’s ambitious growth targets with the need for macro‑economic reforms to support the expanding investment market.
