MSF vs Double Major in Finance and Statistics/Mathematics

International Student in the US here Is it better to do Finance in 3 years and then go for a 1 year MSF program or do a double major in finance and mathematics/statistics(in 4 years)? I will be recruiting for IB next year and hope to transition to the HF industry after IB. Any insights will be very helpful!
