If you're looking for a quick way to diversify your portfolio, then exchange traded funds (EFTs) could be the answer.

These financial instruments give investors exposure to a wide range of themes, countries, indices, and sectors through just a single investment.

But which ones should you buy? Three top ETFs that I like are listed below:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ETF to look at buying is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This ETF allows investors to gain exposure to a portfolio of exciting tech shares that are revolutionising the lives of billions of people in Asia. I believe the majority of these companies are well-placed for growth over the next decade and beyond. Included in the ETF are the likes of search engine company Baidu, ecommerce giants Alibaba and JD.com, electronics behemoth Samsung, and WeChat owner Tencent. 

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ETF which I think could provide strong returns for investors over the next decade is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. As its name implies, this ETF provides investors with exposure to the 100 largest non-financial shares on the NASDAQ index. This includes giants such as Amazon, Facebook, and Microsoft. These companies have been growing at a very strong rate over the last decade and look well-placed to continue their positive form over the next 10 years. In light of this, I think the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF could be a great addition to most portfolios today.

VanEck Vectors Australian Banks ETF (ASX: MVB)

Another option to consider is the VanEck Vectors Australian Banks ETF. I think this ETF is perfect for investors that want exposure to the banking sector but can't decide which bank to buy. This is because this ETF gives investors access to all of the big four banks and also the regional banks and investment bank Macquarie Group Ltd (ASX: MQG). And given the dividends that these shares pay, I expect it to provide a generous yield in the region of 5% in FY 2021.
