Information detailing the demand seasonality for Genworth Financial's products is not explicitly available. Mortgage insurance demand is generally tied to the housing market, with potential increases in spring and summer. Long-term care insurance demand is less subject to seasonal patterns but is influenced by demographic trends. Annuities and life insurance demand could be influenced by broader economic conditions and year-end financial planning activities.
