Este artículo se ciñe en las investigaciones de Mesly (1999 a 2012) y presenta los límites de conducta funcional de la percepción percibi-da en un estudio de 19 grupos distintos repartidos en un periodo de cuatro años. La constante k =1.3 identifica el carácter invariable de la depredación percibida. Los resultados se asemejan a los de la teoría del apego y de la de-predación financiera estipulando que los depredadores financieros actúan por debajo de los límites de detección de los clientes y de las agencias de control de los mercados, por ello se vuelven expertos en reducir a la míni-ma expresión la percepción de los clientes causándoles un daño financiero serio.
This paper rests largely on the works of Mesly (1999 to 2012). It argues that the phenomenon of perceived predation as a functional behav-ioural phenomenon is subjected to certain limits, a finding based on studies performed on 19 different groups spread over a four-year span. It also finds a constant of k = 1.3 which reflects the invariant nature of perceived predation. These findings add to the theory of financial predation which stipulates that financial predators operate below the limits of detection per-taining to their customers (and market regulators). They are experts at minimizing the perception that clients could have that they are after their money, causing them financial harm, by surprise (perceived predation). Understanding the narrow range in which financial predators operate is set-ting the grounds to offer better protection to investors and to implement-ing better control and punitive measures.
