Epoch Announces Assets under Management of $6.1 Billion

NEW YORK-- (BUSINESS WIRE) - October 7, 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 $6.1 billion as of September 30, 2008, down from $6.6 billion as of June 30, 2008.

“The sharp sell-off in the equity markets offset continued net inflows into our investment strategies during the third quarter,” said William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “While the quarter was challenging to all investors, our investment strategies, which emphasize a free cash flow analytical approach to the evaluation of equities, should continue to produce superior returns at a lower risk for our clients. This emphasis on cash flow analysis has become increasingly relevant, as the use of accounting measures alone has proven to inadequately capture issues surrounding the financial condition of many companies, particularly in the financial sector.”
