If you're looking to invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs), then it could be worth considering the two listed below.
These ETFs are popular with investors and it isn't hard to see why. Here's what you need to know about them:
BetaShares Global Banks ETF (ASX: BNKS)
The first ETF for investors to look at is BetaShares Global Banks ETF.
As you might have guessed from its name, this ETF gives investors exposure to many of the world's largest banks. One key thing that is not given away with its name, however, is that this collection of banks excludes our own big four and regional players.
This means that if you're looking for opportunities away from the status quo in Australia, this ETF gives you it in buckets. Among the banks included in the fund are Bank of America, Barclays, Citigroup, HSBC, JPMorgan and Wells Fargo. Overall, as a group, they look well-placed to benefit from central banks raising interests rates across the globe.
BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF (ASX: FUEL)
Another ETF for investors to consider next week is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF.
While oil prices have thankfully retreated from their recent highs, they are still in or around the US$100 per barrel mark. This is significantly higher than the cost of production for many of the world's largest energy producers, which means they are rolling in cash right now. This bodes well for earnings and dividends in the near term.
The good news is that the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF provides investors with easy access to many of these energy producers in one single easy investment. Among the companies that you'll be buying a slice of are BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell.
