Talos Energy, an oil & gas E&P company, is a strong beneficiary of the 'Energy Security Resurgence' macro theme due to sustained high oil prices from geopolitical conflict. However, the fund's philosophy explicitly states 'You never own... commodity cyclicals at 'cheap' multiples.' As an E&P company, it is a commodity cyclical and therefore explicitly excluded, regardless of the macro tailwind.

Talos Energy Inc. is an independent oil and natural gas exploration and production company with core assets in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and offshore Mexico. Leveraging its deep expertise in complex offshore operations, the company has also established a first-mover position in large-scale carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) projects in the Gulf Coast region. This strategic diversification positions Talos as both an established energy producer and an emerging leader in energy transition solutions.
