Epoch Announces Assets Under Management Of $16.0 Billion

Epoch Investment Partners, Inc. (“ Epoch” or the “Company”), a leading investment manager and investment adviser and the sole operating subsidiary of Epoch Holding Corporation (Nasdaq: EPHC), today announced that its assets under management (“AUM”) were approximately $16.0 billion as of September 30, 2011, a decrease of 6% from $17.1 billion as of June 30, 2011.

"Despite the backdrop of global economic concerns and a significant decline in equity markets, we continued to be selected for new investment mandates and gather flows in our U.S. and global equity investment strategies during the quarter,” stated William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our investment philosophy focuses upon identifying companies producing significant free cash flow and led by managements with a history of effective capital allocation. That philosophy, combined with a portfolio construction process directed at providing superior returns with relatively low volatility, has led to a favorable reception for our services. Interest in our approach has increased with the pickup in volatility we have witnessed in the capital markets this year.”
