European Business Schools

I was hoping to get an American perspective on European Business Schools, particularly for Masters in Finance, rather than MBAs.

I have been accepted to study the Masters in Finance program at Stockholm School of Economics and in Europe this is seen as a prestigious school. It is my understanding that the European schools that are most targeted by Investment Banks in London (excluding schools in the UK) are:

HEC Paris Stockholm School of Economics Bocconi St Gallen Rotterdam School of Management INSEAD

However I have no idea as to how these schools are seen in the US. Are people and banks in America aware of them and rate them?

My aim is to work in London initially after completing my Masters studies, but after a few years I would like to either do an MBA in America, or if that's not necessary, transfer to work in the United States. Are any of the names mentioned above likely to carry any weight? Or are English schools such as LSE, LBS and Oxbridge the ones that they really look out for?

Thanks for any help.
