Exchange traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity. And it isn't hard to see why.
ETFs give investors easy access to a large and diverse number of different shares that they wouldn't ordinarily have access to.
But with so many to choose from, it can be hard to decide which ones to buy over others. To narrow things down, listed below are two highly rated ETFs that you might want to explore. They are as follows:
Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ASX: ETHI)
The first ETF for ASX investors to take a 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 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 Adobe, Apple, Home Depot, Nvidia, Toyota, and Visa.
Shaw and Partners' Felicity Thomas recently rated the ETF as a buy.
She told Livewire: "This is one of my favourites, so it's definitely a buy for me. I really like that they do positive carbon screening. They also pay a 5.7% distribution yield, which is great."
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another ETF for investors to look at next week is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.
It is one of the most popular ETFs on the Australian share market for a reason. The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF provides investors with exposure to over 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies through just a single investment. That's about as diversified as it gets.
Among the companies you'll be owning a slice of with this ETF are giants such as Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and Visa.
