If you're looking to invest in the tech sector but aren't sure which shares to buy, then you may want to consider exchange traded funds (ETFs).

That's because there are a number of ETFs out there that allow investors to buy a slice of some of the world's biggest and brightest tech companies.

Two ETFs that will allow you to achieve this are listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ETF for tech investors to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This ETF gives investors exposure to some of the largest tech companies in the Asian market (excluding Japan).

BetaShares believes this is a good place for investors to put funds, noting that technological adoption in Asia is surpassing the West. Furthermore, with this trend tipped to continue in the future, this is expected to underpin strong growth in the sector over the next decade.

There are approximately 50 companies included in the fund including the likes of Alibaba, Infosys, JD.com, Meituan, Pinduoduo, Samsung, and Tencent.

In respect to the latter, Tencent is a multinational technology conglomerate and one of the largest companies in the world. It is best known for its communication and social platforms, Weixin (WeChat) and QQ, which connect over a billion users with each other.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Another ASX ETF for tech investors to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. As its name implies, this popular ETF gives investors exposure to the leading companies in the global cybersecurity sector.

The cybersecurity sector has been growing strongly in recent years. Pleasingly, due to increasing demand for cybersecurity services because of the growing threat of cyber attacks and the shift to the cloud, it has been tipped to continue doing so for a long time to come.

Included in the fund are global cybersecurity giants and emerging players from around the globe. Among the companies you'll be buying a piece of are Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, and Splunk.
