Fin. Math vs MBA

Currently work in Capital Markets. Studied Finance in undergrad. Would love to develop more quantitative skills but don’t necessarily want to be a quant. What are your thoughts on how useful it would be studying Financial Mathematics over an MBA to break into global macro/rates strategy/rates trading? Would love some guidance. Thanks.
