Epoch Assets under Management Stands at $6.2 Billion
 
NEW YORK-- (BUSINESS WIRE) - April 4, 2008 - 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") were $6.2 billion as of March 31, 2008, a decrease of approximately 7.5 percent from $6.7 billion as of December 31, 2007.

“The sharp decline in the equity markets offset the continued inflows into our investment strategies during the recent quarter,” said William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “We continue to believe strongly that the most appropriate prism through which to evaluate a company’s future financial prospects is free cash flow analysis. This has become more apparent as the use of accounting measures alone continues to inadequately reflect potential issues surrounding a company’s financial condition. While the current quarter was challenging to all investors, we believe our investment strategies will, over the long-run, produce future returns at a lower risk for our clients.”
