Equity holding, also known as entrusted shareholding, anonymous investment or false name investment, refers to a kind of equity or share disposal method in which the actual investor agrees with others to perform shareholders' rights and obligations on behalf of the actual investor in the name of the other person. The fact that actual investors and nominal investors hold shares or hold shares on their behalf is often determined only by a paper agreement. If there is still some ambiguity in the holding of equity, equity trust is a well-known concept and is applied by many trust and investment companies. The trustor transfers the company's equity held by the trustor to the trustee, or the trustor gives the funds legally owned by the trustor to the trustee, and the trustee invests the funds in the company in his own name according to the wishes of the trustor, and the proceeds obtained by the trustee holding the company's shares belong to the beneficiaries designated by the trustor.
