Our Story
The name Azura was inspired by the calm and beauty of the Côte d’Azur, symbolizing our commitment to providing a low-stress, balanced approach to wealth management. Co-founded by Michael Hanna and Victoria Henning-Smejda, two experienced professionals with dynamic backgrounds, Azura Wealth brings a fresh perspective to financial planning.
Based in New York and serving clients nationally, we proudly operate independently—free from the influence of any one asset manager or insurance provider, allowing us to creatively customize solutions for our clients with their interests at the forefront.
Our Services
Your unique financial landscape influences how we tailor our services. With a diverse and talented network of financial professionals, we help ensure that you’re always on the track to meet your goals.
We believe financial planning is an organic process with six key focus areas.
Our Clients
We work with a variety of professionals, but find that our services are built best for those who value financial delegation and crave sophisticated and personalized wealth management solutions. Our clients:
I Desire financial freedom and flexibility.
II Are serious about implementing solutions to generate wealth and passive income, value processes that support this goal, and understand this is an organic and evolving process.
III Seek out education and are lifelong learners.
Open Architecture
Azura has chosen to use an open-architecture model so that we can draw from a marketplace of investment and insurance solutions to build your plan.
This independence lets us match you with the specific managers and products best suited to your goals, rather than whatever a parent company wants sold that quarter, and it gives us the flexibility to adjust your strategy as markets and your life change.
