This is an information-and-route portfolio. The assets are not only silk, spices or precious goods; they include knowledge of markets, safe passage, relationships and timing. Returns can be high because the spread between distant markets is large, but risks include piracy, disease, war, fraud, currency mismatch and years of illiquidity.
