If you don't have the funds to build a truly diverse portfolio, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be a quick fix. This is because ETFs give investors access to a large number of different shares through just a single investment.

With that in mind, listed below are three ETFs that could be worth a closer look. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. It tracks the performance of an index comprising the 50 largest technology and online retail stocks in Asia (excluding Japan). These companies are among the fastest growing in the region and are busy revolutionising the lives of billions of people. Among the ETF's holdings are Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent.

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

Another ETF to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. It could be a good option for those that are interested in the cryptocurrencies industry rather than directly in coins. The fund manager notes that the ETF is designed to capture the full breadth of the crypto ecosystem, by providing exposure to pure-play crypto companies (including crypto exchanges, mining companies, and mining equipment providers), those whose balance sheets are held at least 75% in crypto-assets, and diversified companies with crypto-focused business lines. Among its holdings you'll find Coinbase, PayPal, Riot Blockchain, Robinhood, Silvergate, and Square/Block.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

A final ETF from BetaShares to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It provides investors with exposure to the leaders in the global cybersecurity sector. The fund manager notes that with cybercrime on the rise, the demand for cybersecurity services is expected to grow strongly for the foreseeable future. This bodes well for the companies included in the ETF such as Accenture, Cisco, and Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, and Okta.
