London-based K2 Private Wealth was officially launched this week, bringing a relationship-driven approach to wealth management services.

K2 Private Wealth combines technical expertise with a personal service model, providing advice across pensions, retirement planning, tax-efficient investments, and portfolio management.

The firm has been co-founded by Blake Anthony Reddy and Mark Bloom, two professionals with complementary backgrounds.

Reddy began advising private clients in 2012 and brings over a decade of experience in helping clients build and protect long-term wealth. Bloom, who is a seasoned industry veteran, created one of the first foreign exchange trading platforms in Japan during the 1990s; he brings global financial markets expertise to the business.

“K2 is about clarity, independence, and tailored advice,” said Reddy. “Whether we’re planning a client’s retirement, or structuring tax-efficient investments, we’re here to support them with insight and integrity.”

Expanding the Offering – K2 FX
In parallel, the group has launched K2 FX, a business which delivers foreign exchange services to both private individuals and corporates. The division is headed by Joshua Bale and Jusden Halabi, partners who bring industry experience from FX companies in London. Their expertise allows K2 FX to offer competitive rates, and tailored solutions for clients moving money internationally – from overseas property purchases to business currency flows.

Additional group offerings under the K2 umbrella include K2 Capital Partners, which is focused on tax-efficient venture capital investments plans. The business plans to expand into mortgages and private client insurance in the coming months, the firm added.

With a commitment to long-term relationships, K2 Private Wealth is positioning itself as an alternative to traditional wealth firms – combining the scale of expertise with the feel of a personal advisory.
