BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The first ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. As you might have guessed from its name, this ETF give investors access to the biggest players in the global cybersecurity sector. BetaShares notes that this is heavily under-represented on the ASX, making this ETF particularly attractive for local investors. And with cyberattacks becoming ever more prevalent (just ask Medibank and Optus), demand for cybersecurity services is forecast to increase materially in the future. Among the companies in the fund are cybersecurity giants Accenture, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, and Palo Alto Networks.
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
Another ETF to consider in January is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. This ETF is one of the most popular around and it isn't hard to see why. It gives investors access to 100 of the largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ index. This means you'll be buying a stake in giants including Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla, to name just a few. And with their shares down materially in 2022, now could be a great time to invest with a long term view
VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ASX: ESPO)
A final ETF for investors to look at in January is the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF. This ETF could be a good option if you already own the NDQ ETF. That's because this fund gives investors access to a portfolio of the largest companies involved in video game development, hardware, and esports. This includes Nvidia, Roblox, Take-Two, and Electronic Arts. VanEck notes that these companies are in a position to benefit from the increasing popularity of video games and eSports. It also points out that the ETF gives investors the opportunity to diversify their portfolio by providing tech options outside FAANG stocks.
