How We WorkA Partner-Led Firm
Afton Financial Group was founded in 2016 by Chirag Savalia, Founding Partner and Chief Strategist, and is led today with Korbin Wayton, Managing Partner. Clients work directly with both partners from the first conversation onward.
The people who build your strategy are the same people who oversee it. Portfolios are constructed and managed in-house, plans are built around the full balance sheet, and we coordinate with each client’s CPA and estate attorney.
Our clients include business owners, executives, physicians, real estate investors, and families, many of them still building wealth rather than drawing it down.
The firm is based in Red Bank, New Jersey, and works with clients nationwide.
Chirag Savalia
Founding Partner & Chief Strategist
Born to first-generation immigrant parents, I realized the importance of family, faith, and hard work early on. I was involved in our family business from my teenage years, where I was able to interact with and help uplift the community we served. Studying finance and mathematics at Rutgers and the University of Pennsylvania, I learned how to scale that positive effect to those around me. After graduating, I worked at a boutique investment bank on Wall Street for a couple of years. In 2016, I started Afton with the hope of using my education and experience to directly serve and uplift those around me. I am married to the love of my life, Purvi, and have two beautiful daughters who teach me about life every single day.
Professional Expertise
I have spent more than a decade in finance, starting at a boutique investment bank where I developed strong relationships and a practical understanding of the financial markets. I worked in a division called Global Equity Flow, which allowed me to see the interactions between different types of financial products and strategies. That experience paved the way for Afton’s start in 2016, offering clients bespoke strategies from day one. As Founding Partner, I am committed to helping my clients at every step.
Your Financial Advocate
I understand that finances are a very sensitive subject, and the truth is that most of us wish we could have done certain things differently. We understand that and will be right here with you to work through it together. My goal is to understand what makes you feel secure, what excites you, what worries you, and what gives you purpose. I will work hard to earn your trust and give you clear, honest guidance along the way.
Korbin Wayton
Managing Partner
Growing up in Southlake, Texas, as part of a very large family, I learned early on the importance of family values and support. At Norwich University, where I graduated in 2019 and played rugby, I researched European monetary and fiscal policy in Vienna, Prague, Bratislava, Copenhagen, and Oslo, and completed academic work in Chile. I later earned an MBA with a concentration in finance. Today I live in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, with my wife, Macall, who is in medical school at Wake Forest, and our daughter, who joined our family in 2026. Macall has been my greatest supporter and partner in every life decision.
Professional Expertise
I have worked in the financial industry since 2019, beginning at National Life Group. At Afton, I work alongside Chirag on the firm’s equity research and portfolio construction, building and managing client portfolios in-house, and I oversee financial planning across the practice. Growing up with a parent in senior corporate leadership gave me an early look at equity compensation and executive benefits, which shapes how I work with executives today. In 2025, I spoke at AAHOA’s HYPE Conference in Mexico City on building wealth and diversifying a hospitality portfolio.
Your Financial Advocate
I believe clients deserve to understand not only what we recommend, but why. Whether we’re evaluating an investment, reviewing a business decision, or preparing for retirement, I want you to understand the trade-offs, risks, and reasoning behind the strategy. My job is to make complex financial decisions easier to evaluate and to be someone you can call when circumstances change.
