Career Advice Needed- Which Masters Degree is Most Widely Valuable?

Hi,

I am a 2022 graduate of a liberal arts college, working in a small asset management company as a trading analyst. I want to stay in some form in the investment management industry. I am wondering what masters degree will take me the farthest- there are so many options today that I’m confused. MBA, Masters in Finance, Masters in Wealth Management- not including certifications like CFA or CFP! Which “name” goes the longest way in the asset management industry today?
