Enact Holdings, Inc.
A provider of private mortgage insurance in the United States, Enact protects lenders against losses when homebuyers put down less than a fifth of a home's price, helping those loans qualify for sale to Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. The business began in 1981 as the mortgage arm of Genworth Financial, and in 2021 it rebranded as Enact — a name chosen to signal a commitment to action and results — as it became an independent company.
