Top Products and Market Share
Key Offerings

Market share varies; Enact's market share is significant. Competitors include MGIC Investment Corp (MTG), Radian Group Inc (RDN), and National Mortgage Insurance Holdings (NMIH).
- Long Term Care Insurance: Provides coverage for long-term care services. Due to high claims and regulatory challenges, Genworth has reduced its exposure to this product and is actively managing its existing block of policies. Competitors are limited due to the market's challenges; some include smaller, specialized insurers. No clear revenue from product can be determined.
Market Dynamics
Industry Overview
The mortgage insurance industry is influenced by housing market trends, interest rates, and regulatory changes. The long-term care insurance industry faces challenges related to rising healthcare costs and aging populations.
Positioning
Genworth is a leading provider of mortgage insurance through its stake in Enact Holdings. Its long-term care insurance business is in runoff, meaning they are not actively selling new policies. The company is focused on managing its existing book of business.
Total Addressable Market (TAM)
The TAM for mortgage insurance is dependent on the overall mortgage origination volume, which can be several hundred billion dollars annually. Genworth, through Enact, captures a percentage of this market. Long term care insurance TAM is declining due to product risks and market exits.
