Based on previous WSO threads, the payout of signing bonuses for associates at Moelis can vary. For example, one thread mentions that a top bucket for first-year analysts included an additional $20,000 to be paid in December. However, specific details for associates' year-end bonuses are not explicitly mentioned in the provided context.

For more precise information, it would be best to refer to any guidance your bank has given or consult with colleagues who have experience with Moelis' bonus payout schedule.

Sources: Associates, when are signing bonuses paid out?, Moelis Bonus Thread 2023, 2018 Investment Banking Report: 8 Trends in the Industry, Insane Moelis Bonus Numbers, Moelis LA vs Moelis NY. How do they compare in terms of exit opps and career projection? What would you choose?
