NEAM & DDJ Announce a Sub-Advisory Relationship


New England Asset Management, Inc. (NEAM) announces a strategic sub-advisory relationship with DDJ Capital Management, LLC. DDJ, an investment advisor specializing in managing non-investment grade fixed income assets, will bring their experience to NEAM's insurance company clients and prospects.

"We are extremely excited to begin working with DDJ Capital Management," commented Bill Rotatori, NEAM Chairman and CEO. "David Breazzano and his team of investment professionals have established an impressive over 20-year track record investing in the below investment grade markets.* Their experience in bank loans and high-yield bonds, with a particular focus on middle market investment opportunities, is outstanding and will expand the depth and breadth of offerings for our insurance clients and prospects."

Since its inception in 1996, DDJ, an investment advisor registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission, has focused on identifying investment opportunities in non-investment grade companies. DDJ, which wasco-founded by its Chief Investment Officer David Breazzano, believes that its disciplined investment philosophy together with an exhaustive research process appeals to institutional clients seeking attractive risk-adjusted rates of return throughout various market cycles. DDJ's clients include large corporate and public retirement plans, Taft-Hartley plans, asset managers and other institutional clients.



Mr. Breazzano expressed DDJ's similar sentiment regarding the new sub-advisory relationship, stating "DDJ believes that its customized high-yield offerings, which should complement NEAM's existing higher quality suite of offerings, will align nicely with the long-term investment objectives of NEAM's insurance company clients. We are looking forward to working closely with the NEAM senior management team to establish a business relationship that will benefit both of our organizations and clients for years to come."
