He has followed the retail sector, which has concentrated 36% of the investment volume. The main operations for the quarter was the purchase of the portfolio of Eroski by Invesco, totaling 358 million; and the portfolio of offices in Madrid and Barcelona owned by BBVA, Santander and Banco Popular, now owned by Metrovacesa.
