EPOCH ANNOUNCES 30% INCREASE IN ASSETS UNDER MANAGEMENT

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE) - July 11, 2006 -- Epoch Investment Partners, Inc.
("Epoch" or the "Company"), a leading investment manager and investment adviser
and the operating subsidiary of Epoch Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: EPHC), today
announced that its assets under management ("AUM") increased to $3.25 billion as
of June 30, 2006 from $2.5 billion as of March 31, 2006.

"Our AUM increased 30% during the quarter ended June 30, 2006. We have observed
a significant interest in All-Cap mandates by both the institutional and
consulting communities wanting to afford the manager more latitude and less
constraint in managing portfolios," said William W. Priest, Chief Executive
Officer of the Company. "The quarter included All-Cap mandates from large
corporate plan sponsors and healthcare organizations. We also received
additional mandates in our US Small Cap Value service, our Global Absolute
Return and our Global Shareholder Yield services. We continue to invest in our
professional staff and infrastructure and presently employ just under 40 people.
Looking ahead to the next quarter, we anticipate another quarter of solid AUM
growth, especially in All-Cap," said Priest.
