Market Dynamics

industry overview logo 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.
