Impact on app ranking when transferring application to a different market account

There is an application whose ownership we want transferred from one account to another account where both the (from and to) accounts belong to different markets. Could you confirm me if their would be any negative impact on the app ranking because we have heard that when you publish an app with an account of the sam market where you are publishing. the app will have better ranking rather than publishing it from an account of of other market. Could you confirm me if this is true for android and/or iOS applications. Thanks!
