The test which classifies an investment as securities or not is
done on the basis of whether investors have certain decision making
powers in the running of the affairs of the organization. If they
have definite powers, then it is not securities and else if
investment is done by passive investors, then the investments are
securities.
Based on the same, the classification ensures the following:
1. sole proprietorship interests - Do not classify as
securities
2. general partnership interests - Do not classify as
securities
3. limited partnership interests - Classified as securities
4.subchapter s corporation interests - Classified as securities
