Advice: What master's degree???

Hi.

Im currentuly in an MO Analyst position in a big Investment Bank in Europe and I am thinking about getting a master's degree.

My aspiration is to work in risk trading at a Hedge Fund or prop trading firm.

That being said, I am split between Msc in Finance or a Msc in Mathematical Finance. Msc in Quantitative Finance would be ideial but that is not an option.

What would be best suited? I'm not looking for a Quant or algo trading role. Not that I wouldn't consider it, just not nº1.

Thanks
