With CNA National, dealers can select the participation program that best serves both their business and individual financial goals. The company offers a retro program, as well as reinsurance, including CFC (controlled foreign corporation) and NCFC (non-controlled foreign corporation) structures. CNA National’s NCFC—Palo Verde Holdings—is managed by a board of directors made up of dealer shareholders. It has over $220 million in assets, making it an excellent choice for dealers wanting to maximize investment returns while minimizing risk.
