A MFE is basically the US equivalent to what you are currently studying so I don't see much value-added by doing a MFE.Letters of recommendation will also be important.The hot topics today will not be hot tomorrow. Do not worry about narrowing down your PhD topic yet, but focus on getting a broad understanding of finance. Read the books on the master reading list.There are few PhD programs in quantitative finance. You are better off doing a PhD in finance at a top university and do your research in quantitative finance. You could also consider PhD programs in applied math or statistics as they also do quantitative finance research at some universities (not sure if you would be qualified).</blockquote>
