If you're looking for an easy way to invest in international shares for diversification purposes, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be the answer.
This is because ETFs allow investors to gain exposure to a large number of international shares through just a single investment.
But which ETFs should you look at? Listed below are three excellent ETFs that could be worth getting better acquainted with this month:
BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF (ASX: FUEL)
The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF. This ETF allows investors to gain exposure to the global energy market at a time when oil prices are at multi-year highs. BetaShares notes that the ETF includes energy producers that are larger, more geographically diversified, and more vertically integrated than Australian-listed energy companies. Among its holdings are energy giants such as BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell.
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
Another ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. It gives investors exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies on the famous Nasdaq index. This includes many of the most iconic companies in the world such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla. And with the Nasdaq down heavily from its highs, now could be a good time to consider a patient, long term investment in this ETF.
VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
A final ETF for investors to look at is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This Warren Buffett inspired ETF gives investors easy access to companies with sustainable competitive advantages or moats. The fund is currently invested across 46 attractively priced shares boasting these qualities. This includes the likes of Alphabet, Altria, Boeing, Coca Cola, Kellogg Co, Walt Disney, and Warren Buffet's own Berkshire Hathaway.
