ClearCourse(SM) Offers Participants Guaranteed Income for Life With Upside
Potential
RICHMOND, Va., March 6 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Genworth Financial today
announced that Paychex, Inc. has selected ClearCourse(SM) as a new investment
option for its 401(k) plan. Paychex has more than 10,000 employees and current
401(k) plan assets of over $400 million.
"At Paychex we listen to our employees to find out what is of value to
them," says Will Kuchta, vice president, organizational development. "What we
heard is that they wanted something that looked and felt like a pension,
something that would give them guaranteed income when they retired. Genworth
came along with a great product that is an excellent match to the needs of
Paychex employees."
"Paychex leaders focus on their employees' needs and are sensitive to the
changing retirement landscape," says Fred Conley, president of Genworth's
Institutional Retirement Income Group. "It's a bigger issue than creating a
nest egg. It's not just what you save, it's what you do with those savings.
Risks like living longer, inflation and market volatility can wipe out your
savings. Now people are focusing on ways to get guaranteed income. We
introduced ClearCourse(SM) to help companies, like Paychex, give employees a
way to save at the workplace and get a retirement paycheck for life, charting
a 'clear course' to their retirement security."
ClearCourse is a patent pending 401(k) investment option that
distinguishes itself by offering participants of all ages guaranteed income
for life with upside potential. ClearCourse is a group variable annuity issued
by Genworth Life and Annuity Insurance Company.
