Securities include any stock, share, bond, warrant, option, pledge, note, mortgage, debenture, lease, or commercial paper, in any corporation, partnership, mutual fund, trust, or other association.
Securities do not include deposits in a savings account, certificates of deposit, money market certificates, treasury bills, bonds or notes, dividends from securities, or holdings in a pension or retirement plan.
A "holder of securities" is an individual having an ownership interest in a security, or who is the trustee or beneficiary of a trust having an ownership in a security. An individual owning shares in a mutual fund does not have an ownership interest in underlying securities owned by the fund.
The value of a security is its fair market value. For securities traded on national exchanges, the fair market value is the closing bid price for the security on a given date. The value of a partial interest in a security is the value of the holder's proportionate share.
Trustees of associations organized for charitable, philanthropic, religious, social service, educational, or other public use or purpose are not holders of securities owned by the associations.
