GENWORTH WEALTH MANAGEMENT GETS NEW NAME
Concord, Calif. -- Large turnkey asset manager Genworth Wealth Management, with $20 billion in assets under management, has announced a long-anticipated name change. The renaming - to AssetMark - is among the last pieces to move into place as the firm seeks to solidify its own identity following its spinoff from former parent Genworth Financial on August 30. Private equity firms Aquiline Capital Partners and Genstar Capital together paid $412.5 million for the firm.
A key reason for the rebranding was to eliminate confusion in the marketplace between the spinoff and its similarly named former parent. The firm also renamed its Genworth Financial Asset Management division as Savos Investments. And its trust company, Genworth Trust Company, is now AssetMark Trust.
