What is a Nominee?

A nominee is an entity that serves as the registered owner of investments held for the benefit of investors, who hold the beneficial (ie., economic) interests in those investments.

This means the nominee is the only entity listed in the shareholder register, and it holds the investments in trust on behalf of the beneficial owners. 

On Wefunder, Wefunder Investments Ltd. (an Irish private limited company) acts as nominee for all securities sold on the platform that use the nominee structure. All voting rights of securities are delegated to a Lead Investor, who directs the nominee on how it should vote the investor securities and make other decisions on behalf of investors.
