A trustee owning stock may hold it in the name of a nominee, without mention of the trust in the stock certificate or stock registration book, provided that the trust records and all reports or accounts rendered by a trustee clearly show the ownership of the stock and the facts regarding its holding.  A trustee shall be personally liable for any loss to the trust resulting from any act of the nominee in connection with stock so held.
