BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

If you're interested in investing in the growing Asian economy, then the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be the way to do it. This ETF gives investors exposure to the largest technology companies in Asia (excluding Japan). This means you'll be buying shares in Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent Holdings. These are some of the fastest growing in the region and are revolutionising the lives of billions of people.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

Another ETF that could help you invest globally is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. This ETF aims to provide investors with the performance of Wall Street's famous S&P 500 index, before fees and expenses. Among the 500 shares that you'll be owning through the ETF include Amazon, Apple, Berkshire Hathaway, JP Morgan, Johnson & Johnson, Meta, Microsoft, and Tesla.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

Arguably the king of global investing options is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. This very popular ETF provides investors with exposure to a massive ~1,500 of the world's largest listed companies. This means that you'll be owning shares in companies from all corners of the world. These include Amazon, Apple, Deutsche Telekom, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, Sony, Toyota, and Visa.
