Exchange traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity with investors and it isn't hard to see why.

But which ETFs could be good options for investors? Listed below are three popular ETFs to research further:

BetaShares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Cloud Computing ETF. This ETF gives investors exposure to leading global companies involved in the delivery of computing services, servers, storage, databases, networking, software, analytics and other services over the internet or cloud. Through this ETF, you'll be buying a slice of companies such as Dropbox, Netflix, Shopify, and Zoom.

Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ASX: ETHI)

Another ETF for ASX investors to research further is the Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF. This popular ETF allows investors to buy a slice of large global stocks that have been identified as climate leaders. This could make it a top option if you're wanting to invest ethically. Betashares notes that the fund excludes companies that have direct or significant exposure to fossil fuels or those engaged in activities deemed inconsistent with responsible investment considerations. Among the shares included in the fund are giants such as Apple, Nvidia, Toyota, and Visa.

VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ASX: ESPO)

A final ETF for ASX investors to look at is the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF. As its name implies, this ETF gives investors exposure to the booming video games market which VanEck notes comprises 2.7 billion active gamers globally. This is more than Netflix subscriptions and active Apple devices. Among the companies you'll be buying a slice of are Activision Blizzard, AMD, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Nvidia, Roblox, and Take-Two. VanEck points out that these companies are well-placed to benefit from the increasing popularity of video games and eSports.
