# WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF USING OVEX’S OTC DESK?

**Why does OVEX not offer an open order book?**
Your trading size impacts the amount you pay as a result of "slippage".
Larger trades are aggregated over a number of buyers and/or sellers. This means the execution price ends up as an average of the lot. Not good.
OVEX is a market maker and therefore the only counter-party in every trade made on the exchange. This unique setup allows traders to secure a single price for all trades, irrespective of volume.
This price-lock feature is why the OVEX platform does not offer an open order book. Instead you have the peace of mind trading with a single known and regulated counter-party as opposed to several anonymous users.
**Perks for wealth managers and brokers: **
- Manage all clients seamlessly at the single click of a button (handle 100 clients with the same ease as 1 client)
- Commission statements, reconciliations, allocations and trading reports are all but a click away
- Easily onboard clients; grant them access to their accounts OR create and manage their accounts completely on their behalf
