Selection Process
The RankiaPro Awards Portugal recognise the most outstanding professionals in the Portuguese investment industry, as voted entirely by their own peers.
Unlike other industry awards, the selection process is 100% driven by professional industry voting, meaning the winners are chosen directly by the professionals who know the sector best. There are no panels, no juries, and no editorial decisions: the voice of the Portuguese investment community speaks for itself.
This year's voting process gathered approximately 1,000 registered votes, reflecting a strong and broad participation across the industry. The high level of engagement ensured that all three categories — Best Advisor Portugal, Best Sales Manager Portugal and Best Fund Selector Portugal — were well represented, with results that truly mirror the sector's collective recognition.
We are grateful to everyone who took part in the vote. Your participation is what gives these awards their real meaning and credibility.
Congratulations to all the winners!
