Genworth Financial is one of the largest
U.S. insurance and financial services holding companies. Genworth
was spun off in 2004 from conglomerate General Electric as an
independent company.
Genworth has five primary lines of business:
Mortgage Insurance
Provides a safe and affordable
option for homebuyers who want to buy or refinance a home with
less than a 20% down payment
on a mortgage loan while protecting lenders against borrower
default. Mortgage insurance is also cancelable, tax deductible
and offers pre/post-purchase support.
Life Insurance
Protects against financial losses resulting from the death
of the insured person.
Long Term Care Insurance
Pays for a range of long term care expenses, such as those
associated with in-home care, assisted living facilities and
nursing homes.
Payment Protection Insurance
Maintains customers' monthly repayments on financial commitments,
such as mortgages, personal loans, and credit cards if they are
unable to make payments due to accident, sickness, hospitalization
or unemployment.
Annuities
A contract between an insurance company and an individual
for an annual source of regular income. Individuals pay into
their annuity contract and then receive payments over a specified
time period.
Genworth operates through three business
segments: Retirement and Protection, International, and U.S.
Mortgage Insurance.
Richmond, VA is home to the company's world headquarters as well
as the headquarters for Retirement and Protection. International
headquarters are in Raleigh, NC and London, England. The U.S.
Mortgage Insurance headquarters are also in Raleigh.
Genworth reported revenues of $11.1 billion
in 2007. Net income was $1.22 billion.
