2020 and 2021 were years of great challenges for investment trusts where this important sector, which democratized public real estate investment in Mexico, had varied performances depending on the nature of the assets in their portfolios.

Trusts with a high concentration of industrial properties were favored by the excellent performance of the logistics sector and the momentum generated by manufacturing on the way to the recovery of the global economic cycle once the contagions of COVID-19 could be contained, due to the advance of vaccination guidelines and maintenance of sanitary measures.

Other trusts with a greater share of commercial, hotel and office goods were differentially affected in a very marked way at the beginning of the pandemic but have gradually begun the gradual recovery although they have not yet reached the levels of the end of 2019.

The portfolios where there is greater exposure to corporate office assets have made great efforts to keep tenants, although they were not able to stop a large part of the vacancies that were registered at the end of 2020 and the beginning of 2021 and should continue exploring novel formulas towards formats of mixed uses or reconversions that we have seen start in 2021.
