Epoch Investment Partners EPHC, today announced that its assets under management (“AUM”) were approximately $19.2 billion as of December 31, 2011, an increase of 20% from $16.0 billion as of September 30, 2011 and 34% from $14.3 billion as of December 31, 2010. “We experienced significant inflows in 2011 despite declines in most global equity markets for the year and the U.S. market ending nearly unchanged,” stated William W. Priest, Chief Executive Officer of the Company. “Investors are showing an increased interest in our approach which focuses on companies that can grow their free cash flow and use it to create shareholder value. This approach is well suited to the times. In an environment where economic growth will likely be constrained, companies that can grow their free cash flow and allocate it wisely should still be able to provide attractive returns over time.”
