In the news release, Axiom Investors Names Polk President, issued 10-Jan-2017 by Axiom Investors over PR Newswire, we are advised by the company that Kurt Polk's title was incorrectly described in the second paragraph. Kurt was the CEO at Rainier Investment Management and not both CEO and President, as originally issued inadvertently. The complete, corrected release follows:

GREENWICH, Conn., Jan. 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Axiom Investors is pleased to announce the promotion of Kurt Polk to the position of President and Edward Azimi to the position of Chief Operating Officer.  Since Kurt joined in 2014 as Chief Operating Officer and Head of Distribution, Axiom has expanded its client base, enhanced the firm's client service efforts, and raised several billion dollars in assets under management.   Ed Azimi, who joined in 2015 as Deputy Chief Operating Officer, has been critical to optimizing the firm's operational and technology infrastructure to support Axiom's growth. "Kurt and Ed have been terrific partners and they have made outstanding contributions to Axiom's success working alongside the investment team," said Andrew Jacobson, Axiom's CEO and Chief Investment Officer.
