• IMMOBILIZED
  
  A physical certificate representing ownership of a security (a stock certificate or bond) that is held by a trustee. An arrangement through which a physical certificate is held so that all future transactions can be conducted as if the security were book entry. Ownership and liens are recorded in the books of the trustee rather than evidenced by physical possession of the certificate. Also called dematerialized.
