Booth unfazed by Citi's Ashmore downgrade

The head of research at Ashmore Investment Management has rejected concerns that the emerging markets specialist will struggle in the face of increased competition

The head of research at emerging market specialist Ashmore Investment Management on Tuesday rejected a downgrade by analysts at Citigroup, arguing that the group would easily withstand increased competition from other fund managers pursuing emerging market strategies.

Jerome Booth told Financial News: "We can still do extremely well while losing market share in an area that's doing really well. We've welcomed the competition."
