New York
A FEW hedge fund managers have been tiptoeing back into the beaten-down energy sector.

Third Point, the firm run by Daniel Loeb, acquired a sizable stake in the oil refinery company Phillips 66; while Leon Cooperman's Omega Advisors amassed a new position in Laredo Petroleum; and Viking Global Investors, led by Andreas Halvorsen, increased its stake in Cheniere Energy by several million shares.
