Strategic Initiatives
Growth programs, investments, and their expected impact
Expanding CareScout as an integrated ecosystem of care and funding solutions. This includes scaling the CareScout Quality Network of vetted home care providers (covering 97% of the U.S. population aged 65+ as of Q1 2026) and integrating senior living communities.
Expected impact: Targeting 7,500 matches and at least $25 million in services revenue for 2026, establishing a long-term growth engine independent of legacy liabilities.
Re-entering the long-term care market through CareScout Insurance Company with 'Care Assurance', a re-engineered, conservatively priced standalone LTC product with limited benefit parameters ($50,000 to $250,000 lifetime pool) to mitigate historical rate-increase risks.
Expected impact: Re-establishes Genworth's presence in the LTC market under a sustainable, modern risk model.
Managing the legacy Closed Block (LTC, life, and annuities) as a closed, standalone system with zero expected capital infusions or extractions, relying on the Multi-Year Rate Action Plan (MYRAP) to secure state-approved premium increases and benefit reductions.
Expected impact: Secured $209 million of gross incremental LTC premium approvals in 2025, bringing cumulative net present value of rate actions to approximately $34.5 billion as of Q1 2026 to cover maturing legacy claims.
