If you're wanting to invest in exchange traded funds (ETFs), then you may want to look at the ones listed below.
These ETFs provide investors with access to some very exciting tech companies from across the globe. Here's what you need to know about them:
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ETF for investors to consider is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This ETF gives investors exposure to many of the largest tech companies in the Asian market. These tigers are the Asian equivalent of companies like Google, Facebook, and Amazon. This includes Alibaba, Infosys, JD.com, Kakao, Meituan, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent.
In respect to Tencent, it is a multinational technology conglomerate and one of the world's largest companies. The company is best known for its WeChat app, which has over a billion users. This super app allows users to text message, voice message, order food, shop, video conference, play video games, share photographs and videos, and make payments.
Another inclusion in the fund is Pinduoduo. It is an e-commerce platform provider that offers a wide range of products from daily groceries to home appliances. Its platform connects distributors with consumers directly through an interactive shopping experience, allowing shoppers to team up to buy items in bulk at lower prices. It has an active customer base closing in on 1 billion.
BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Another exciting ETF for ASX investors to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. This popular ETF gives investors exposure to the leading companies in the global cybersecurity sector.
You only need to look at recent attacks, such as the sophisticated Sunburst attack, to see that online threats are getting greater and smarter. This may not bode well for internet users, but it does for the companies in the fund, which include both global cybersecurity giants and emerging players. They look set to benefit greatly from increasing demand for cybersecurity services.
Among the companies you'll be owning a slice of are Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, Palo Alto Networks, and Splunk.
CrowdStrike, for example, is the company behind the popular Falcon platform. This platform delivers incident response and forensic analysis services that are designed to help businesses understand whether a breach has occurred. It then allows the user to respond and recover from a breach with speed and precision to remediate the threat.
