Exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be great additions to a balanced portfolio. This is because they give investors easy access to a large and diverse number of different shares that you wouldn't ordinarily have access to.
But which ones would be top options for investors today? Listed below are three that could be worth considering:
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. It tracks the performance of the 50 largest technology companies that have their main area of business in Asia (excluding Japan). This includes the likes of Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent Holdings. With these companies revolutionising the lives of billions of people in the region, they have been tipped to have bright futures.
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
Another ETF to consider is the hugely popular BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. It gives investors exposure to many of the most iconic companies in the world. This includes the likes of Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla. BetaShares notes that with its strong focus on technology, the ETF provides diversified exposure to a high-growth potential sector that is under-represented on the Australian share market.
VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ASX: ESPO)
A third ETF for ASX investors to look at is the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF. As its name suggests, this ETF gives investors exposure to a portfolio of the largest companies involved in video game development, hardware, and esports. Among the companies that you'll be owning a slice of are Activision Blizzard, AMD, Electronic Arts, Nintendo, Nvidia, Roblox, and Take-Two. VanEck highlights that these companies are well-placed to benefit from the increasing popularity of video games and eSports.
