AS 45.08.103. Rules For Determining Whether Certain Obligations and Interests Are Securities or Financial Assets.

(a) A share or similar equity interest issued by a corporation, business trust, joint stock company, or similar entity is a security.
(b) An investment company security is a security.
(c) An interest in a partnership or limited liability company is not a security unless it is dealt in or traded on securities exchanges or in securities markets, its terms expressly provide that it is a security governed by this chapter, or it is an investment company security. However, an interest in a partnership or limited liability company is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.
(d) A writing that is a security certificate is governed by this chapter and not by AS 45.03, even though it also meets the requirements of AS 45.03. However, a negotiable instrument governed by AS 45.03 is a financial asset if it is held in a securities account.
(e) An option or similar obligation issued by a clearing corporation to its participants is not a security but is a financial asset.
(f) A commodity contract, as defined in AS 45.29.102 (a), is not a security or a financial asset.
(g) In this section, "investment company security" means a share or similar equity interest issued by an entity that is registered as an investment company under federal investment company laws, an interest in a unit investment trust that is registered as an investment company under federal investment company laws, or a face-amount certificate issued by a face-amount certificate company that is registered as an investment company under federal investment company laws. Investment company security does not include an insurance policy or endowment policy or annuity contract issued by an insurance company.
