Are you looking to make some portfolio changes in December? If you are, then it could be worth checking out some exchange-traded funds (ETFs).

But which ones could be buys this month?

Well, three highly rated ASX ETFs to consider right now are listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ASX ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This popular ETF gives investors easy access to the best tech stocks (or tigers) in the Asian market. Among the companies that you will be buying a slice of are e-commerce giant Alibaba, search engine leader Baidu, iPhone manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, and WeChat owner Tencent.

Betashares Global Uranium ETF (ASX: URNM)

Another exciting ASX ETF to look at in December is the Betashares Global Uranium ETF. As you might have guessed from its name, this ETF aims to track the performance of an index that provides exposure to a portfolio of leading companies in the global uranium industry. And what a time to do it. Betashares highlights that as nuclear power is increasingly being accepted as a safe, reliable, low-carbon energy source, demand for uranium is expected to increase materially in the future. Included in the fund are locally listed uranium developers Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE) and Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN).

ETFS Battery Tech & Lithium ETF (ASX: ACDC)

A final ASX ETF for investors to consider buying is the ETFS Battery Tech & Lithium ETF. Like the Betashares Global Uranium ETF, it also looks well-positioned to benefit from the decarbonisation megatrend. That's because it provides investors with access to companies throughout the lithium cycle. Among its holdings are Allkem Ltd (ASX: AKE), Mineral Resources Limited (ASX: MIN), Nissan, Pilbara Minerals Ltd (ASX: PLS), Renault, and Tesla.

Motley Fool contributor James Mickleboro has positions in Allkem. The Motley Fool Australia's parent company Motley Fool Holdings Inc. has positions in and has recommended Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF and Tesla. The Motley Fool Australia has recommended Betashares Capital - Asia Technology Tigers Etf, Betashares Global Uranium Etf, and Global X Battery Tech & Lithium ETF.
