However, in 2018 his path took a new direction after watching a YouTube video about investing, trading, and exploring the Forbes 400.[4] He realized that most of the individuals who had amassed significant fortunes were connected in some way to the financial markets—not necessarily through trading, but often through investing in or listing their successful businesses in the stock market[4].
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]
