Sept. 9 (Bloomberg) -- Children's Investment Fund Management LLP, one of the biggest shareholders in Deutsche Boerse AG, may push for a sale of the exchange's stock trading business, Handelsblatt reported, citing unidentified people close to the matter.

TCI and Atticus Capital LLC are currently discussing measures to boost Deutsche Boerse's value and may approach the company's management with suggestions ``within weeks,'' the newspaper said. TCI head Christopher Hohn has brought up the idea of selling the company's stock trading business to London Stock Exchange Group Plc, Handelsblatt said.
