Product control to equity research - need advice

I’ve been put forward a product control role within the fixed income world at a mid tier IB who specialises in equity research, although not equities specifically, it gives me a chance to take the ACA qual also (fully funded).

I’m currently studying for CFA L1. I would really like to move into ER in due time. Would this role help the transition?
