Richmond, Va.-based insurer Genworth Financial said today it has laid off 1,000 of its 7,300 employees and will cut or reduce executive bonuses.

The firm, which provides mortgage, retirement income, life and long-term care, Medicare and supplement insurance products as well as related financial and wellness advisory services revealed the step in a letter to customers, distributors and partners.

Genworth said it has also made refinements to its strategic market focus aimed at concentrating on segments it views as the best fit with its strengths, profitability targets and risk appetite.
