Analogously, most hedge funds are ["black-box operations"](https://www.quora.com/How-can-Renaissance-Technologies-make-so-much-money-from-financial-markets-by-hiring-scientists-and-or-mathematicians-with-no-domain-knowledge-of-finance/answer/Alfredo-Sep%C3%BAlveda-Jim%C3%A9nez) and keep their details ["proprietary"](https://www.quora.com/What-are-the-investment-strategies-of-James-Simons-Renaissance-Technologies-I-understand-he-employs-complex-mathematical-models-along-with-statistical-analyses-to-predict-non-equilibrium-changes/answer/James-Baker-69).
