NEW YORK - (BUSINESS WIRE)   November 17, 2005   Epoch Holding Corporation
("Epoch" or the "Company") conducted its Annual Meeting of Stockholders on

existing Board of Directors: Allan R. Tessler, William W. Priest, Jeffrey
L. Berenson, Peter A. Flaherty, Eugene M. Freedman, and David R. Markin, to
serve in office until the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders, and/or until
their respective successors are duly elected and qualified.

Mr. Allan Tessler, Chairman of the Board of Directors, opened the meeting
and expressed that the Board was pleased with the Epoch team's
achievements, their integrity, and their focus displayed during the past
year.  He congratulated the management of Epoch on behalf of the Board of
Directors for their success thus far, and their continued efforts on behalf
of clients and stockholders.

Mr. Priest, the Company's Chief Executive Officer, then commented on the
Company's progress over the past fiscal year, including the increase of
assets under management from approximately $850 million at June 30, 2004 to
approximately $1.4 billion at June 30, 2005.  He further added that as of
today, assets under management plus assets committed to be managed before
the end of the 2005 calendar year exceed $1.9 billion.

Additionally, during the past year, Epoch initiated two mutual funds   the
Epoch International Small Cap Fund and the Epoch U.S. All Cap Equity Fund,
and anticipates the launch of a third fund, the Epoch Global Equity
Shareholder Yield Fund, around calendar year-end.

"All in all," Mr Priest stated, "our first full fiscal year was a success
in the ways that matter to an investment firm - strong performance for
clients, substantial growth in assets under management, and growth in the
professional staff."  Mr. Priest reiterated Epoch's continued commitment
"to build an investment firm of substance for our clients, our employees,
and our stockholders."
