Business Wire, April 06, 2009

NEW YORK -- 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 $5.7 billion as of March 31, 2009, an increase of six percent from $5.3 billion as of December 31, 2008.

“We are delighted to announce AUM growth in a quarter in which nearly all equity markets experienced double digit negative returns,” said William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Our increased AUM is the result of above-benchmark performance, combined with several new mandates, particularly in our U.S. Large Cap Value service. Our global product set, including International Small Cap and our Global concentrated portfolios, experienced additional inflows, and our award-winning Global Equity Shareholder Yield Fund continued to outperform.”

“We are well-positioned for a marketplace that appears to be returning to a ‘back to basics’ approach. Our focus on free cash flow analytics that emphasizes intelligent applications of corporate cash flows - through cash dividends, share repurchases, debt paydowns, internal reinvestment options, and acquisitions - should continue to produce superior investment returns at lower risk for our clients.”
