CFA is definitely important for any form of ER progression... not so much an MBA... Master of Science in Finance is also good. But CFA is way cheaper. And the prospects of a respected MsF program are harder to gauge than the respected legacy of the CFA institute. Good Luck.
CFA is all you would need. Hedge funds generally don't recruit from MBA programs. ER is a better launching pad into a hedge fund. Do you have relationships with any funds? How is your relationship with the Analyst you work for? He/She should definitely have relationships with hedge funds and could make introductions.
