The gain in assets for the twelve months ended September 30, 2007 was approximately 67 percent, from $3.8 billion at September 30, 2006.

“During the quarter, we added two prestigious public fund clients, the North Dakota Investment Board and the Florida State Board of Administration,” commented William Priest, CEO of the Company. “We are also pleased to report that Epoch is sub-advising the underlying portfolio for the John Hancock Tax-Advantaged Global Shareholder Yield Fund (NYSE ticker: HTY), a closed-end fund which was launched at the end of September.”
