Abstract: Following on the 2009 financial crisis in Spain, the way financial products are traditionally sold has been questioned, especially considering cases of fraud or deceit. Using the consolidated model of financial predation CMFP and the Delphi method, we analyze the commercialization of preferred shares in Spain during 2009. Results suggest no evident cases of financial predation according to CMFP model, but confirm the presence of dysfunctional practice and a sequence of adverse circumstances. We identify precautionary measures to the risks of financial predation such as the role of Spanish authorities in strengthening marketing rules of financial products and improving financial literacy on investors.
