Ownership Structure

Non-Controlled Foreign Corporation Model

ARC’s NCFC Reinsurance structure provides dealerships with an alternative approach to offshore underwriting participation that does not meet traditional Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) ownership thresholds. This model is designed for dealerships seeking strategic jurisdictional planning while maintaining disciplined governance and regulatory alignment.

Unlike standard CFC structures, a Non-Controlled Foreign Corporation (NCFC) allow dealers to share in underwriting and investment profits through ownership of participating stock in an offshore reinsurance company, without direct control over its operations. NCFC focuses on alternative ownership design and capital strategy while still allowing participation in underwriting results.

Because of its structural complexity, NCFC reinsurance requires careful advisory coordination, formation planning, and ongoing compliance oversight. ARC works alongside dealer leadership teams and qualified tax and legal professionals to evaluate whether this alternative reinsurance model aligns with long-term capital objectives and governance capacity.
