His departure comes after Merrill announced it was cutting back on recruiting experienced advisers. The firm will instead focus on growing its brokerage force by training new talent and hiring young advisers from its competitors.
For Moreno, Bolton says it will provide back office, compliance and technical support. Client assets will be custodied through Pershing, the company says.
Bolton has more than $6 billion in client assets and 40 branch offices across the United States, according to the company.
