BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF (ASX: FUEL)

The first ETF to look at for April is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF. It provides investors with access to a number of the largest energy companies outside Australia. BetaShares notes that these are larger, more geographically diversified, and more vertically integrated than their Australian peers. Among its holdings are energy giants including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

Another ETF for investors to consider in April is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. This popular ETF gives investors access to the top 500 listed U.S. companies. BlackRock, which operates iShares, believes this ETF is a good way for investors to diversify internationally. The fund manager also notes that it offers long-term growth opportunities for a portfolio. Among the companies included in the fund are Amazon, Apple, Disney, Facebook, JP Morgan, Johnson & Johnson, Microsoft, Tesla, and Visa.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ETF for investors to look at for next month is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This Warren Buffett inspired ETF gives investors access to a group of companies with sustainable competitive advantages or moats. The fund is currently invested across almost 50 attractively priced shares boasting these qualities. This includes the likes of Alphabet, Altria, Boeing, Coca Cola, Kellogg Co, Walt Disney, and even Warren Buffet's own Berkshire Hathaway. Given how successful Buffett's style of investing has been over multiple decades, this ETF could be a top option for long term focused investors.
