Mathematics is about modeling. The meta-model of Numer.ai allows for predictions in the behavior of financial markets. Numer.ai is in essence a "stock market intelligence platform". The data is what is kept secret to give the edge to hedge funds.
Somewhat homomorphic encryption is what Enigma uses to keep this data private. While Numer.ai is a decentralized crowd intelligence platform. In my opinion all decisions (but in particular investment decisions) is based on data analysis. In other words the more high quality intelligence you have, the better you are able to analyze data, the better your investment decisions can be. Machine learning can help automate by algorithmic means the trading which people do.
