What Credit Acceptance Corporation does

In the company’s own words

Credit Acceptance Corporation (Nasdaq: CACC) provides financing programs that help automobile dealers sell vehicles to consumers who may not qualify for conventional financing, primarily people with impaired or limited credit histories. Dealers originate consumer installment contracts and assign them to Credit Acceptance, which funds the transactions and administers, services and collects the loans. Its Portfolio Program advances money to dealers in exchange for servicing rights and a share of future collections, while its Purchase Program buys contracts from dealers and retains collections. The company also enables dealers to offer vehicle service contracts and guaranteed asset protection, and earns income from reinsurance of some service contracts. Credit Acceptance operates as one reportable segment, covering its financing programs and related products and services. Its nationwide dealer network includes 15,745 active dealers in 2025, and it had 2,314 team members at year-end. Its website is creditacceptance.com.

Fund ownership counts N-PORT filers only, so it is a floor rather than a census — pensions, insurers and direct holders are not visible here, and the remainder is not “held by individuals”.

Fund ownership is a subset of institutional 13F ownership — the two describe overlapping populations and must not be added together.
