Quico, se o teu horizonte de investimento fôr de longo prazo, então acho que não tens com o que se preocupar.
Estas quedas recentes só vão servir para tornar as seguradoras mais baratas e mais atractivas aos investidores.
Este processo deixará mossas nas empresas directamente envolvidas, mas não afectará a evolução do sector como um todo.

Quico, um promotor público nova-iorquino está a processar algumas seguradoras por elas terem pago subornos às empresas que as contrataram. A intenção dessas seguradoras era que os seus serviços fossem contratados sem que houvesse uma comparação decente com os demais concorrentes.
A ING não está directamente envolvida no processo, mas todo o ramo está a sofrer consequências negativas devido à este problema, basta dar uma olhadela nas cotações das empresas do sector a nível mundial.
Foi por isso que eu disse para fugir delas, pelo menos no curto-prazo, já que os analistas estão confiantes de que este processo não irá afectar o negócio das seguradoras ao longo dos próximos meses.

AIG target of grand jury probe
Prosecutors examine issue insurer had settled with SEC
By CBS MarketWatch
Last Update: 12:43 PM ET Oct. 21, 2004
NEW YORK (CBS.MW) -- American International Group faced another legal setback Thursday as the company disclosed it's the target of a federal grand jury probe of so-called income-smoothing products.
AIG (AIG: news, chart, profile), which has been implicated in Eliot Spitzer's investigation of bid-rigging in the insurance industry, said U.S. prosecutors in Indiana are focused on a contract between AIG and Brightpoint Inc. (CELL: news, chart, profile), one of the world's largest distributors of cellular phones.
AIG shares slid 52 cents to $57.08 Thursday.
Prosecutors told the insurer the investigation centers on "non-traditional" insurance products "marketed by AIG that were directed at creating agreements with businesses that would appear to be insurance and accounted for as insurance, but did not involve any actual risk transfer," AIG said in a written statement.
In September 2003, AIG agreed to pay the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission $10 million in connection with a settlement stemming from Brightpoint's improper use of a purported insurance policy to reduce losses.
AIG received less than $100,000 in fees from the Brightpoint deal, the company said Thursday.
"It's obviously an issue; however, the company has much bigger things to worry about," said Ira Zuckerman, an analyst at Nutmeg Securities.
AIG shares have tumbled since last week amid a separate probe by Spitzer, New York's attorney general, into contingent commissions and bid-rigging in the insurance business.
Spitzer sued Marsh & McLennan (MMC: news, chart, profile) alleging the largest insurance broker accepted fees in return for steering business to favored insurers and arranged fictitious bids to give the illusion of real competition.
The suit cited two examples of bid-rigging involving Marsh, AIG and Ace Ltd. (ACE: news, chart, profile). Two AIG executives and one from Ace have pleaded guilty to charges related to the scheme.
"The bid-rigging and contingent-commissions investigation obviously goes well beyond AIG," said Zuckerman. "You already have Marsh & McLennan and Ace involved, and subpoenas are flying everywhere."
"I would guess that these are not the only two instances of bid-rigging," Zuckerman added, referring to the two examples cited in Spitzer's complaint involving Ace, AIG and Marsh.
Jimmy Bhullar, an analyst at J.P. Morgan, said in a note to clients Thursday that fears about litigation are "overblown."
If litigation ends up costing AIG $1 billion - a figure Bhullar considers "highly unlikely - it would knock down the firm's book value by 25 cents per share, he estimated.
If domestic brokerage premium growth at AIG drops to five percent in 2005, from Bhullar's current forecast of 12 percent growth, as a result of contingent commissions disappearing, the firm may lose out on 4 cents of earnings per share, he said.
Separately, AIG, a component stock of the Dow Jones Industrial Average, reported third-quarter income rose to $2.51 billion, or 95 cents a share, vs. $2.34 billion, or 89 cents a share, in the year-ago period. See full story.
Excluding capital gains and losses, AIG would have made 97 cents a share, 1 cent less than the average Wall Street estimate tracked by Thomson First Call.
The group took $512 million in catastrophe losses during the quarter, against an average of $50 million a quarter over the past 15 years. Revenue rose 25.1 percent to $25.41 billion, AIG said.
"Given the hurricanes, AIG's earnings were in line with expectations," said Nutmeg's Zuckerman. "The big issue is what's going to happen to price going into the January renewals."
Commercial property pricing has been weak, commercial casualty rates have been flat and claim costs continue to go up by five or six percent a year, Zuckerman explained.
"Margins will be under pressure unless things change," he added. "Next year will likely be worse than this year for the property, casualty sector."
