History
Although Genworth Financial has only been “Genworth Financial” for less than a decade, the Genworth Financial family of companies has roots that can be traced back to the writing of the first policy with The Life Insurance Company of Virginia in 1871. In May 2004, Genworth Financial was formed out of various insurance businesses of General Electric Company in the largest IPO of that year, topping the more publicized Google IPO of that same year. Today, Genworth Financial has over $100 billion in assets and employs approximately 6,000 people with a presence in more than 25 countries.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“There is a constant in the average American imagination and taste, for which the past must be preserved and celebrated in full-scale authentic copy; a philosophy of immortality as duplication.

—Umberto Eco (b. 1932)
“The history of medicine is the history of the unusual.”
—Robert M. Fresco, and Jack Arnold. Prof. Gerald Deemer (Leo G. Carroll)
“We may pretend that we’re basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.”
—Terry Hands (b. 1941)
