Epoch Assets under Management Increase to $6.6 Billion

NEW YORK-- (BUSINESS WIRE) - July 8, 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 $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2008, an increase of approximately 7 percent from $6.2 billion as of March 31, 2008.

“We continue to be heartened by the growth and inflow of assets despite the volatility and decline of the equity markets during this past quarter,” said William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our investment strategy remains straightforward: buy companies that generate consistent free cash flow and have little or no debt or are paying down debt, and sell at reasonable prices. Particularly in a turbulent market environment such as the one we have experienced over the past twelve months, this strategy should continue to produce superior returns at a lower risk over the time frames relevant to our clients.”
