Ashmore Strategist Promoted to Head of Research

Jan Dehn has taken over as head of research at Ashmore Investment Management, where he was previously co-head of research, according to a person with knowledge of the matter. The move follows the retirement from the firm of EM veteran and former head of research Jerome Booth, who remains a shareholder in the firm but will now pursue other projects through New Sparta, a private London-based office. Dehn has been at Ashmore since 2005, and was previously at Credit Suisse and the World Bank. Booth had been at Ashmore since 1999, and was previously at ANZ and the Inter-American Development Bank. Ashmore has $65bn under management in EM.
