  • Genworth Life Insurance Company Launches Total Living Coverage(R) Annuity

    March 30, 2010 by N/A

    RICHMOND, Va., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ — Genworth Financial, Inc., (NYSE: GNW) announced today a new product addition to help consumers move toward financial security and independence.  Total Living Coverage® Annuity (TLCA) is a linked-benefit product that links the safety and tax-deferred growth of a single premium non-qualified deferred annuity with a long term care (LTC) insurance rider to provide LTC benefits. The product will be underwritten by Genworth Life Insurance Company.

    “The financial challenges facing Main Street consumers today have never been greater,” said Buck Stinson, President of Genworth’s U.S. Life Insurance Products.  “With Total Living Coverage Annuity, consumers use their annuity value to purchase long term care insurance coverage up to three times the amount of their single premium, creating a pool of benefit dollars for long term care expenses paid first from the annuity value and then from the remaining pool.”

    In addition, claim payments for covered long term care expenses are tax-free, allowing consumers to keep more of their own money – thanks, in part, to tax benefit provisions in the Pension Protection Act of 2006 (PPA). Consumers may be able to fund TLCA with a tax-free 1035 exchange from an annuity or life insurance policy.(1) “With TLCA, consumers who want to purchase long term care insurance can now utilize additional sources of funding to help them gain this protection,” said Stinson.

    TLCA advantages include:

    • Dependable and stable growth  
    • Protection in the event of a long term care need with guaranteed renewable long term care insurance
    • Simplified underwriting process
    • Optional inflation protection
    • Waiver of monthly long term care charge provision

    Consumers who would benefit from this product include those who:

    • Are nearing or in retirement with assets to protect
    • Recognize the potential need for long term care and the negative impact it could have on their financial security
    • Are currently self-insuring against the risks of a future long term care event
    • Have investable assets of $200,000 or more (excluding home or qualified assets)

    Total Living Coverage Annuity joins an innovative portfolio of new and enhanced products introduced by the Genworth Financial companies in recent months.  Early last fall the Genworth Financial companies launched the GenGuard(SM) suite of universal life insurance products that help consumers match financial security needs to appropriate death-benefit guarantees at competitive premiums; and this past November the companies introduced Colony(SM) Term UL, a new breed of universal life insurance that competes with term life insurance and is designed to address the same financial security needs of the term life buyer.
