BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first ETF to consider in September is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. As its name implies, this ETF aims to track the performance of the famous NASDAQ 100 index.
The NASDAQ 100 comprises 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the famous NASDAQ exchange. BetaShares notes that it includes many companies that are at the forefront of the new economy. This includes the likes of Amazon, Apple, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla, to name just five.
BetaShares also notes that with a strong focus on technology, the ETF provides investors with diversified exposure to a high-growth potential sector that is under-represented on the Australian share market.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another ETF for investors to consider this month is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. This ETF provides investors with exposure to approximately 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies from major developed countries.
Vanguard notes that this provides investors with low-cost access to a broadly diversified range of securities that allows them to participate in the long-term growth potential of international economies outside Australia.
Among the ETF's largest holdings are the likes of Apple, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and Visa.
Another positive is that this ETF also offers investors a source of income. While it isn't a huge yield, every bit helps in the current environment. At the last count, its units were providing investors with a 1.9% yield.
