Henrico County-based Genworth Financial Inc. announced a reorganization plan in January designed to isolate its struggling U.S. mortgage business from its other operations, helping the company avoid a credit-rating downgrade. The Fortune 500 company, one of the Richmond area’s largest employers, said the plan, which creates a new holding company, would reduce the risks associated with its mortgage insurance business but would not impact shareholder ownership. The move appeared to satisfy Moody’s Investors Service, which confirmed the company’s credit rating at Baa3. Moody’s had been considering since June whether to downgrade Genworth debt to junk status. The ratings agency said it has concluded its review. (Richmond Times-Dispatch)
