Foolish take

Investors probably shouldn't look at Kawa Capital's sale of Delek as a sign the fund is pessimistic about the downstream energy industry. It appears Kawa Capital was locking in profits from a stock that outperformed. Shares of Delek rose sharply in the third quarter. From the end of March through Sep. 30, 2025, the stock notched a 114% gain.

While Delek is the fund's fifth-largest holding, investors should know that it's also Kawa Capital's smallest holding. Its portfolio contained just five stocks at the end of September.

Delek was far and away Kawa Capital's best-performing stock in the third quarter. The runner-up was Orion Properties, which rose 26.2% during the three months ended September.

Brandywine Realty Trust was the largest holding in Kawa Capital's portfolio at the end of September. The real estate investment trust (REIT) has also been its worst performer. Shares of Brandywine Realty Trust, an integrated, full-service real estate company that develops, leases, and manages office buildings, have fallen about 17.5% since the end of March.
