About NEAM

Success in business can be paired with compassion, integrity, and personal connection. At NEAM, these principles have guided how we work and how we treat people from 1984 to today.

Where it Began

NEAM was founded in 1984 in a one‑room office in Hartford, Connecticut. Driven by his entrepreneurial, “can‑do” spirit, founder Jerry Lynch recognized a growing need for specialized asset management services tailored specifically to the insurance industry. From that vision, New England Asset Management was formed.

“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet consectetur. Dictumst a egestas nulla ac diam nam amet risus. Commodo egestas facilisi interdum eget tempor amet duis pulvinar. Blandit quis cras elementum morbi nec.”

— Jerry Lynch, NEAM Founder

40 Years of Uninterrupted Focus

For more than 40 years, NEAM has maintained uninterrupted focus and stable ownership. Since 1995 we have operated under a single owner, General Re Corporation, which in turn was acquired by Berkshire Hathaway in 1998.

Today, NEAM continues to evolve under the leadership of CEO William (Bill) Rotatori. The company also supports global clients through their Irish subsidiary and UK branch office, positioning the firm for continued growth in the European marketplace.
