Section 3 (a) (a) (A) of the Act defines an investment company as an issuer that owns or claims to be principally involved in an investment company; Article 3(a)(1)(B) defines an investment company as an issuer that is a company with a nominal value; and Article 3(a)(1)(C) defines an investment company as an issuer that holds more than 40 per cent of its assets (other than cash and government securities) in investment securities. However, the following securities are not investment securities: Amendment by section 209 of the Pub. L. 104-290, which came into force on the earlier date of 180 days after October 11, 1996 or on the date on which the required regulations are completed, see article 209(e) of the Pub. L. 104-290 as a reference under Article 80a-2 of this title. 1987—Subsection (c)(3).

To benefit from this exemption, no more than 100 persons may economically hold the issuer`s outstanding securities, other than short-term securities.

In addition, beneficiary securities may be voting or non-voting securities. A beneficial owner is usually determined by whether that person can decide if and how much to invest in those securities. In addition, securities held jointly by the spouses are considered to be the property of a beneficial owner. Therefore, a company wishing to offer securities for sale must: Companies register in different classifications depending on the type of product or range of products they wish to manage and issue to the investing public. There are three types of investment companies in the United States (classified by federal securities laws): mutual funds/mutual fund corporations; investment funds (ITU); and closed-end funds/management companies. The requirements for investment companies depend on their classification and product offering. An employee investment company is an investment company or similar issuer whose outstanding securities (other than short-term securities) are beneficially owned by: (a) employees or persons having a single employer or two or more employers, each of which is an enterprise related to the other; (b) former employees of that employer or employers; (c) members of the immediate family of such workers, dependants or former workers; (d) two or more of the above-mentioned classes of persons, or (e) by such employer or employers and one or more of the above-mentioned classes of persons.

A security is defined in Section 2(a)(36) of the Act as any of the following: debt securities, shares, own shares, securities futures, bonds, debt securities, proof of debt, interest certificates or participation in a profit-sharing agreement, collateral trust certificates, transferable shares, investment contracts, voting certificates, certificates of deposit for a security, undivided interests in oil, gas or other mineral rights, put, call, overlap, option or lien on securities or transactions of sale, purchase, overlap, option or lien entered into on a national stock exchange in respect of foreign currency or, generally, shares or instruments commonly referred to as securities.

The words “Philippine Islands” were deleted from the definition of “State” under Procedure No. 2695, which granted independence to the Philippine Islands.

The Securities Act of 1933 was also passed in response to the crash, but focused on greater transparency for investors; The Investment Companies Act of 1940 focuses primarily on the regulatory framework for retail investment products.

See Willkie Farr & Gallagher (available October 23, 2000). The Investment Companies Act largely prohibits non-registered investment companies from issuing securities and makes their contracts voidable.

Under the Investment Companies Act of 1940, investment companies must register with the SEC before they can list their securities on the public market. The law also defines the steps that an investment company must follow during this registration process. The laws of the Investment Companies Act of 1940 are enforced and regulated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The Act sets out the responsibilities and requirements of investment companies, as well as requirements for all publicly traded investment product offerings, such as open-ended mutual funds, closed-end mutual funds and mutual funds.
