On July 1, 2016, Public Risk Innovation, Solutions, and Management (PRISM) launched a captive insurance company, Affiliate Risk Captive (ARC). ARC is a pure captive, meaning it is 100% owned by PRISM and only takes on the risk of its parent organization. The Captive insures coverage program specific corridor risks; conceptually, a 100% transfer of risk at certain layers, much as the coverage program would cede this risk to a reinsurer. The transfer of risk offers short term gains to the ceding program, and long term gains to PRISM and its members as a whole.
ARC acts only in the best interest and for the benefit of PRISM and/or its members. ARC does they by:
1. Accepting PRISM's transfer of risk from various coverage programs;
2. Providing PRISM access to an enhanced investment program; and
3. Continuing to enhance ARC's risk transfer mechanism when multiple programs' risk are comingled.

Like its parent company, ARC strives to operate in a manner that is transparent. Although captive insurance companies are not subject to regulations such as the Brown Act, it is important to the members of PRISM to have full knowledge of the activities of ARC, and as such, PRISM staff will provide full disclosure to its members and the public.
