There are a number of exchange-traded fund (ETF) that are trading at cheaper prices because of the coronavirus bear market.

The benefit of ETFs is that you can buy a big group shares in just one investment.

Here are two ETFs I'm interested in:

BetaShares FTSE 100 ETF (ASX: F100

This is a UK ETF which is invested in 100 of the biggest businesses on the London Stock Exchange.

There are plenty of global, high quality businesses within this ETF's holdings like: HSBC, Astrazeneca, GlaxoSmithKline, BP, British American Tobacco, Diageo, Royal Dutch Shell, Unilever and Rio Tinto. I think this is a good, diversified group.

The ETF has still fallen by 21% despite the partial recovery since 23 March 2020.

The UK government is now providing huge levels of support for the UK economy, particularly for employees that are out of work right now with an 80% wage subsidy.

I think the UK will get through this okay, so I think UK blue chips look good value and offer an attractive dividend yield.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS

If you're interested in just investing in the global share market instead of a particular region, this ETF could be a good option.

The ETF has fallen by 16% since the start of the coronavirus falls, which includes the benefit of the weakening of the Australian dollar.

Some of its top holdings include Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, Facebook, JPMorgan Chase, Johnson & Johnson, Visa and Nestle.

The ETF is full of quality companies with good brands. Nearly all of them will get through this, so I think it's a good temporary opportunity to buy cheaper shares.

Foolish takeaway

Both ETFs are much cheaper. At the moment I like the idea of buying the UK ETF because it has fallen further.
