I believe that making long-term investments in ASX shares is one of the best ways to grow your wealth.

This is because long-term investing takes advantage of the power of compounding, which is what happens when you generate returns on top of returns.

But if you're not comfortable stock-picking, don't let that put you off investing. That's because there are exchange-traded funds (ETFs) out there to make things easier for you.

ETFs allow investors to buy a collection of shares through a single investment. In many cases, this can provide instant diversification for a portfolio.

But which ASX ETFs could be great options for buy and hold investors? Three to consider are listed below:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF could be a great buy and hold option for investors.

With worldwide spending on cybersecurity predicted to increase materially in the future, this bodes well for the companies included in this fund. These companies, which are working to reduce the impact of cybercrime globally, include Accenture, Cisco, Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, and Palo Alto Networks.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ASX ETF that could be a top buy and hold option is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF.

This hugely popular ETF gives investors access to the 100 largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ index. These are many of the largest companies in the world such as Amazon, Alphabet, Apple, Meta Platforms, Microsoft, and Tesla. Collectively, these 100 companies appear well-placed for growth over the long term, which bodes well for this ETF.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ASX ETF to look at is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This ETF allows investors to invest in the style of Warren Buffett by offering access to a diverse group of high-quality companies with sustainable competitive advantages and fair valuations.

The ETF contains approximately 50 shares with these qualities, including the likes of Alphabet, Boeing, Kellogg Co, and Walt Disney.
