The DBA encourages Member companies to participate in a Financial Services Sector-Wide GETS/WPS Exercise on August 5-6, 2020. The purpose of the sector-wide exercise is to familiarize users with the dialing procedures necessary to make successful calls - especially during times when they may be experiencing stressful conditions. Periodic testing of these services helps ensure successful use during emergencies. Government Emergency Telecommunications Service (GETS) supports national leadership; federal, state, tribal and territorial governments; first responders and other authorized national security and emergency preparedness users. It is intended to be used in an emergency or crisis situation when landline network is congested and the probability of completing a normal call is reduced. If you have any questions about this exercise, please contact the Priority Telecommunications Service Center at 866-627-2255, 703-676-2255, or support@priority-info.com. Together, we are Delaware Financial Services Strong!

In our final Monday Market Insights piece of 2019, we asked, “How should people think about investing amid the realization that unpredictability is always a feature of financial markets?” In hindsight, we could not have posed a more relevant question. This year has been unpredictable in so many ways, and we doubt that a global pandemic causing the most abrupt economic slowdown in our lifetimes was a feature of many 2020 investment outlooks. But here we are again, faced with the challenge of investing in a world that feels as uncertain as ever.
