For New York’s Atticus Capital and London’s Children's Investment Fund, enough is enough. Realizing their investments in Deutsche Börse have literally halved this year, they’re on a mission to recoup their losses (and maybe even squeeze out some much-hoped-for gains). Two years ago, the funds grabbed headlines in their bid to replace the exchange company’s CEO. But that was just softball compared to what they’re going to do now.

Are rainmakers really deserving of all the mudslinging they’re getting from pulling out of multibillion-dollar deals? Wall Street’s Greek chorus (ahem, mostly journalists) have been mounting their high horses in droves on this front. We suppose they think a private-equity firm should just go through with a deal it abhors out of the kindness of its heart. Wrong. This is not a charity. Exit clauses are built into deals for a reason. They are not just for decoration. And yet, it seems this basic concept is hard for many to grasp.
