I think that buy and hold investing is one of the best ways to take advantage of the magical power of compounding and grow your wealth over the long term.
However, not everyone has the time to research which ASX shares might be good buy and hold options.
But don't worry if you fall into that category, because there is a solution – exchange traded funds (ETFs).
ETFs allow investors to buy large groups of shares from different indices, sectors, or countries in one fell swoop. This could make them a great choice for anyone that is short on time but wants to put their money to work in the share market.
With that in mind, listed below are three excellent ASX ETFs that could be top buy and hold options for investors. They are as follows:
