Which of the following is NOT a security under the Uniform Securities Act?
a.A certificate of interest in an oil and gas drilling program
b.A variable annuity contract
c.A limited partnership interest in a real estate venture
d.A fixed annuity contract whose payout is guaranteed by the insurance company
Explanation
A fixed annuity shifts the investment risk to the insurer and pays a guaranteed dollar amount, so it is treated as an insurance product rather than a security. A variable annuity passes investment risk to the contract holder and is a security. Fractional interests in oil and gas programs and limited partnership interests are both named in the statutory definition.
