60 BING!

CORRECTIONS

”Where Is Opportunity Lurking?” (Dec. 22, 2014) stated incorrectly that Vontobel Asset Management oversees $19 billion in assets. The correct figure is $49 billion. In the same issue, ”The Investor CEOs Fear Most” misspelled the name of Barington Capital Group. Fortune regrets the errors.
