Exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a great way for investors to diversify a portfolio. This is because they give investors access to a large group of shares through just a single investment.
But which ETFs should you look at? Listed below are two ETFs that are popular with ASX investors. Here's what you need to know and why they could be worth getting better acquainted with them:
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ETF for ASX investors to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This popular ETF gives investors easy exposure to many of the Asian region's most exciting growth shares. At present, the ETF is home to ~50 tech companies that are leading Asia's technological revolution.
Among its holdings are giants such as Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and WeChat owner Tencent. In respect to Pinduoduo, it is a US$65 billion e-commerce platform with an active customer base closing in on a whopping 1 billion. This makes local online retailer Kogan.com Ltd (ASX: KGN) and its ~4 million active customers look miniscule.
Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ASX: ETHI)
Another ETF for ASX investors to take a closer look at is the Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF. This ETF gives investors exposure to large global stocks that have been identified as "Climate Leaders."
BetaShares notes that this ETF allows investors to invest in a way that is consistent with their ethical standards. The fund manager highlights that the ETF combines positive climate leadership screens with a broad set of ESG criteria, offering investors a true-to-label ethical investment solution. Among the shares included in the fund are the likes of Adobe, Apple, Home Depot, Nvidia, Toyota, and Visa.
