So, exactly which Vanguard fund is it? I can't seem to find the ticker symbol in any of the articles.

"Vanguard S&P 500 Admiral index fund," so probably VFIAX?

Hedge funds are in the business of fee collecting not investing for the benefit of investors :)

You're comparing something likely close to 2%+20% of profits to an index fund.
Whether that's a proxy for value investors in general is still open for discussion
