How to move from equity trading to fixed income trading?

I've been a junior equity execution trader at a hedge fund for a few years but I'd like to move into a more quantitative trading role such as credit, mbs, fx, etc. How would i go about doing this? business school? im currently studying for the CFA level 1 exam, not sure if thatll help.
