      EST.
    
    
      “The enormous turnout witnessed in this 
      historic presidential election speaks not only to Americans’ 
      increased level of political engagement, it also speaks to their 
      concerns about the economy and the impact that the current crisis is 
      having on their family’s wealth and financial 
      planning,” said Mr. Balentine. “In 
      the 75 minutes we have during this seminar, we hope to share knowledge 
      and insight that investors can apply to their personal circumstances.”
