I don't know much about asset management so don't want to lead you astray. I just want to point out that there is not all that much covered in the MFE curriculum that is particularly useful in asset management at least as I understand it. You may be able to take some courses or electives but the main stochastics and numerical analysis is sell-side derivatives pricing stuff.

Actually your current experience seems more relevant to asset management than anything you'd learn in an MFE. It may be that some quant hedge funds in the margin recruit MFEs just because they know the graduates will be quantitative / programming people who know the finance vocabulary. I would consider if there's not another option more suitable to your career trajectory however.
