Genworth CEO Halts Sale Of Life Insurance Unit
August 11, 2015 by LifeHealthPro
(Bloomberg) — Genworth Financial Inc., the insurer that has been selling units to rebuild capital, said it will probably not get rid of its entire life and annuity operation.
The insurer may instead seek buyers for blocks of life contracts, Chief Executive Officer Tom McInerney said Wednesday in a conference call discussing results at the Richmond, Virginia-based insurer. Genworth dropped 9.7 percent to $6.34 at 9:32 a.m. in New York, extending its decline for the year to about 25 percent.
