Marine Petroleum Trust is a royalty trust that is not permitted to engage in any business activity because it was organized for the sole purpose of providing an efficient, orderly, and practical means for the administration and liquidation of rights to payments from certain oil and natural gas leases in the Gulf of Mexico, pursuant to license agreements and amendments between the Trust?s predecessors and Gulf Oil Corporation.
To understand what a lot of these companies are, one must understand what a holding company is. A holding company does not necessarily produce anything or provide a service. Usually a "holding company" or trust will simply buy companies that are already profitable, let them run as usual, and use that profit to buy more companies. Most of the companies in this list fall into the holding company category. Some of the others appear to be closed-end mutual funds which trade like shares of stock and seek long term capital appreciation, much like most other open-end funds do.
