CFA for Hedging

Hey guys,

I am a rookie here and would appreciate some insight about this topic. I am looking to go to graduate school for Financial Engineering. After talking to professors, employers at banks, and looking on websites and such, it seems that there are not many MFE grads in the hedge fund world. However, I plan to take the CFA exams out of graduate school which may be of use in the hedging business. Could someone please let me know if having the MFE degree along with the CFA a possible route to become a hedge fund analyst. I would rather get a specialized masters rather than an MBA because I want to keep a strong math background but want to work in finance. (I am an Actuarial Science and Finance dual degree undergrad.) Thank you.
