Learners may also say *"He is a nominee of president"* instead of the correct *"He is a nominee for president"* or *"He is the party's nominee for president"*.

Common mistake:
Learners may mix this meaning with the more common sense of "nominee" as a candidate. In legal and financial texts, a "nominee" usually does not mean a candidate, but someone who holds assets in name only for someone else. Context such as "shares", "account", or "company" usually signals this technical meaning.
Meaning
holder of assets for another
Collocations
nominee account
|nominee company
|nominee shareholder
|nominee director
|held in a nominee
Synonyms
custodian (In finance and law, a custodian safely holds assets for others; a nominee specifically has the legal title in their name while acting for the real owner.)
