GVL distribution cycles
Why does GVL distribute several years at once? When will there be a final distribution for the distribution years? How long does a distribution cycle take?
In order to provide a clearer picture, we explain the regular process of our distribution in this visualisation, based on the example of the 2021 distribution year (in german).
