Over the years, he honed his skills in creating profitable investing and trading strategies, establishing himself as a respected figure within the investor and trading community in Angola.
According to Forbes, during the COVID-19 pandemic, Paca achieved a significant milestone by generating a profit of $150,000 USD[3] (approximately 136,857,450.00 Kwanzas) by investing and trading gold, which surged in value as a "safe haven" asset during global economic uncertainty capitalizing on the high market volatility.
In 2024, he was listed in the Forbes Africa Lusófona Under 30[3] category in finance for his contributions to Angola's financial system and entrepreneurship.
Paca diversified his career by engaging in real estate and agricultural projects. His initiatives reflect a commitment to sustainable growth and economic development in Angola.[1][3]
