Across europe activistrninvestors are flexing their muscles. The call by U.K. hedge fund Children's Investment Fund Management for the breakup of ABN Amro has led to a takeover battle for the Dutch bank. New York hedge fund Atticus Capital is still turning up the heat on German stock exchange operator Deutsche Boerse. And British money manager Hermes Pensions Management is advocating the breakup of U.K. insurer Prudential.
