Registration in name of nominee securities held in fiduciary capacity. Every bank, trust company and national banking association is authorized to cause securities held as a fiduciary, custodian or managing agent by such bank, trust company or national banking association, whether alone or jointly with an individual, with the consent of the individual fiduciary, if any, (who is hereby authorized to give such consent) to be registered and held in the name of a nominee of such bank, trust company or national banking association without disclosure of the fiduciary relationship. Any such bank, trust company or national banking association shall be liable for any loss occasioned by the acts of its nominee with respect to the securities so registered. The records of the bank, trust company or national banking association shall at all times show the ownership of such securities and of those held in bearer form. Such securities and those held in bearer form shall at all times be kept separate from the assets of the bank, trust company or national banking association and may be maintained as follows: (1) in a manner such that all certificates representing the securities from time to time constituting the assets of a particular estate, trust or other fiduciary account are held separate from those of all other estates, trusts or accounts; or (2) in a manner such that, without certification as to ownership attached, certificates representing securities of the same class of the same issuer and from time to time constituting assets of particular estates, trusts or other fiduciary accounts are held in bulk, including, to the extent feasible, the merging of certificates of small denomination into one or more certificates of large denomination, provided that the bank, trust company or national banking association when operating under the method of safekeeping security certificates described in this subparagraph (2), shall be subject to such rules and regulations as, in the case of a state chartered bank or trust company, the Commissioner and, in the case of a national banking association, the Comptroller of the Currency, may from time to time issue.
