The compounds have a high lattice enthalpy, thus much energy is required to break to ions up in solution. The also have very low solubility products, that is the product of the compounds ions in a saturated solution.

Look at a solubility table -- there are just some exceptions that is just in the nature of those compounds

The solubility product is very low.
