At least one senior investment manager thinks that last weekend’s downgrade of the United States’ credit rating will not make a difference in how regional investors view that economy.

The downgrade came after US lawmakers raised the debt ceiling by $2.4 trillion. In May the United States hit its $14.3 trillion congressionally-mandated borrowing limit.
