From villain to hero: Meet Marvel's new Hawaii-born Spider-Girl
HONOLULU (KHON2) — Look out New York — and Hawaii. There's a new Spider-Hero in town. Just released this week, Marvel Comic's latest character. Her name? Spider-Girl. And she's complicated, powerful and better yet, she's Hawaii-born. She's fierce. She's fearless and bringing a fresh twist on classic Spidey vibes. Marvel's new Spider-Girl is officially here and she's creating a buzz. 'Avengers: Doomsday' cast includes Hemsworth's Thor, Mackie's Cap, Fantastic Four and original X-Men 'It's cool because it does bring awareness to the Hawaiian culture itself,' said Stig Lapoint, a comic book fan. This Next-Gen web slinger has roots in Hawaii. Her secret identity is Makawalu Akana and has a dark past that's unlike any Spider hero before her. 'She's a protege of a famous Daredevil villain called 'Bullseye,' and she's breaking away from that in the series and trying to become a proper hero,' said David Nakayama, a veteran cover artist who created the cover art for the debut issue. That's right, Spider-Girl didn't start out trying to save the day. Her superpower is being able to copy other superpowers.'I mean, that's literally the reason I signed on to do the project in the first place. They told me, Spider-Girl, she's Hawaiian. I'm like, Yes, you got me. I'm in,' Nakayama said. David says the challenge was to capture both power and personality in a single image. 'She's of two worlds, right? Like she's from Hawaii, but she's now fighting crime in New York, like a proper Spider person. So we wanted to capture that duality, right?' Nakayama said. 'She's also a youthful spider character, right? She's not Spider-Man, she's Spider-Girl. So, you know, putting in things like little plushies and tassels in her hair is something my daughter would wear. That's kind of the youthful energy we wanted to communicate,' The new ongoing Spider-Girl series is written by Torunn Gronbekk, known for her work with Thor and Venom.

'You know, superhero women who are superheroes, has become much more popular in the last, you know, 20-25, years. And I think that's great. So that that hopefully will be a new crowd younger female readers who will get into comics,' said Charlie Whitesell, owner of Other Realms comic book store. Can Spider-Girl truly leave her villainous past behind and make it as a hero? You'll have to read it to see. The debut issue is on shelves now. David Nakayama will be signing copies of the debut issue on June 14 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Other Realms located on Nimitz Hwy in Iwilei. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bearish is thoughtful, bullish is cavalier? Samir Arora calls out market bias
As Indian equities powered higher on Monday, with the Nifty hitting 8-month high on the back of the Reserve Bank of India's surprise policy easing and upbeat global cues, veteran investor Samir Arora took to social media to question a familiar market bias: why bullish investors are often seen as reckless while bears are viewed as more prudent. 'But people who are bearish are generally considered as 'thoughtful and measured' and people who are bullish are considered 'cavalier'—so what to do,' Arora, Founder and Fund Manager at Helios Capital, posted on X (formerly Twitter), echoing a sentiment shared by market expert Sandip Sabharwal, who had called for more fund managers to make the case for optimism in the markets. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like New 3BHK Flats In Kuta:(Take A Look At Prices) Apartments | Search Ads Search Now Undo But people who are bearish are generally considered as "thoughtful and measured" and people who are bullish are considered "cavalier"- so what to do. — Samir Arora (@Iamsamirarora) June 9, 2025 Sabharwal had earlier questioned why market experts focus so heavily on bearish outlooks, saying, 'Instead of making 100 page presentations on why we should be 'Bearish', some of the 'Experts' from MF's/PMSes/AIF's etc should actually be making presentations on why we should be 'Bullish'.' Markets rally on RBI boost Indian benchmark indices ended Monday in the green, with the Nifty climbing to an eight-month high and the Bank Nifty index touching a record intraday peak. The rally was driven by the Reserve Bank of India's outsized 50 basis point rate cut, a 100 basis point CRR reduction, better-than-expected U.S. jobs data, and progress in U.S.-India trade negotiations. The upbeat sentiment extended beyond large caps. The Nifty Midcap 100 rose 1.1%, and the Nifty Smallcap 100 gained 1.6%, outperforming the benchmark indices as investors bet on broader economic revival. Live Events Helios MF makes big bets in May Meanwhile, new fund disclosures from Helios Mutual Fund, backed by Arora, showed the Flexi Cap fund cut its cash holdings sharply from 5.26% in April to just 1.08% in May, signalling increased conviction in equity markets. The scheme, which has an AUM of Rs 3,213.5 crore, counts Adani Ports, ICICI Bank, and HDFC Bank as its top holdings. The fund increased positions in Adani Ports, Bharat Electronics, and KPIT Technologies, while adding new exposures to MCX, NBCC, Gokaldas Exports, Delhivery, and Indian Hotels. It also exited S H Kelkar and Electronics Mart India. Cash levels were also reduced in the Midcap and Large & Mid Cap funds, further reflecting a bullish allocation shift. As stocks march higher, Arora's critique of the prevailing narrative raises a broader question, should optimism be treated with more intellectual respect in a market that thrives on sentiment swings?

Decoding Flexi Cap vs Multi Cap Funds: Strategy, risk and suitability
Flexi Cap vs Multi Cap Fund: Despite ongoing volatility in the equity markets, investor interest in mutual funds remains robust. However, a clear shift in investment preferences is emerging. Following significant corrections in the small-cap and mid-cap segments, a growing number of investors are reallocating their portfolios towards large-cap, Flexi Cap and Multi Cap funds—categories that predominantly invest in companies with larger market capitalisations. Market analysts suggest that in times of heightened uncertainty, Flexi Cap and Multi Cap Funds may offer more stability and strategic advantage. Yet, a key question persists among investors: Which is the better choice—Flexi Cap or Multi Cap Funds? While both fund types provide broad diversification, they differ notably in terms of investment structure and portfolio strategy. Key Differences in Fund Structure Flexi Cap mutual funds are frequently compared to Multi Cap funds, given that both invest in equities and equity-related instruments across various market capitalisations. However, a key structural distinction sets the two categories apart. Flexi Cap Funds mandate a minimum allocation of 65 per cent of their total assets to equities and equity-related instruments. In comparison, Multi Cap Funds are required to allocate at least 75 per cent of their corpus to equities. Another significant difference lies in the portfolio allocation strategy. Flexi Cap fund managers have complete discretion to invest across large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap stocks, allowing for a dynamic and flexible asset allocation approach. Conversely, Multi Cap fund managers must maintain a minimum investment of 25 per cent each in large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap segments, resulting in a more regimented and rule-based allocation structure. Flexibility Reduces Risk Flexi Cap funds are generally considered to be less risky compared to Multi Cap funds. Umeshkumar Mehta, CIO at Samco Mutual Fund, explains that Flexi Cap funds offer a dynamic approach, allowing fund managers to reduce exposure to large-cap, mid-cap or small-cap stocks when valuations become expensive. Unlike Multi Cap funds, Flexi Cap funds are not required to maintain a strict 25 per cent allocation in each market cap category (large, mid, small). This gives fund managers greater flexibility to adjust allocations based on market conditions. He further added that due to this flexibility, fund managers can shift towards safer market cap segments when valuations are high or during a market correction. This is one of the reasons why the overall risk level in Flexi Cap funds tends to be slightly lower. Choosing Based on Stability According to Mehta, in the current global market environment marked by heightened uncertainty, portfolios with a greater allocation to large-cap and mid-cap stocks are better positioned to deliver stability. Large-cap stocks offer resilience and consistency, while mid-cap stocks provide moderate growth potential. Given this backdrop, Flexi Cap Funds may be more appropriate for new investors, as they allow fund managers to tilt the portfolio towards relatively stable segments. Conversely, investors seeking uniform exposure across all market capitalisations may find Multi Cap Funds more suitable, as these funds mandate a minimum allocation to each of the large-cap, mid-cap and small-cap segments, ensuring balanced diversification. Time Horizon Matters A.K. Nigam, Director at BPN Fincap, notes that Flexi Cap Funds are well-suited for investors with a short- to medium-term investment horizon, typically ranging from zero to five years. These funds offer portfolio flexibility to navigate market volatility and are generally structured to deliver moderate returns. While the core allocation tends to favour large-cap stocks, they also include selective exposure to mid-cap and small-cap segments. Nigam further highlights that Multi Cap Funds are more appropriate for long-term investors, with an investment horizon of at least five to seven years. Owing to their mandated exposure to mid-cap and small-cap stocks, these funds carry higher risk but also present the potential for enhanced returns. They are most suitable for investors with a higher risk tolerance who seek long-term capital appreciation. Aligning Risk and Goals For investors with a high risk appetite but limited exposure to equities, Multi Cap Funds may present a more suitable option, as they offer diversified exposure across all market capitalisations regardless of prevailing market conditions. Conversely, investors with moderate risk tolerance seeking equity participation may find Flexi Cap Funds more aligned with their investment objectives. Mehta recommends that individuals with a higher risk appetite consider diversified equity funds such as Flexi Cap or Multi Cap Funds, which invest across a broad spectrum of stocks, including large-cap companies. These funds actively rotate allocations among sectors and market segments in response to changing market dynamics. As such, Mehta emphasises the importance of remaining invested for at least one full market cycle to realise the potential benefits. Given their structure and investment approach, these funds are generally more appropriate for long-term investment horizons.
