How to get into Securitized Products HF?

Title says it all. What is typical way someone from a bank (or elsewhere) can gain the skill set to get into a securitized products hedge fund? Obviously traditional IBD would not help much since you do not deal with these products. There is CLO/MBS trading but do these desk do fundamental analysis or are they relative value, momentum, etc. traders? Who at a bank does fundamental analysis of securitized products?
