Listed below are three ASX ETFs that are highly rated right now and could be good options for investors of the growth persuasion.

Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The first ASX ETF that could be a top option for growth investors is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It offers investors easy access to the cybersecurity sector, which has been tipped to grow rapidly over the coming decades as cybercrime becomes even more of a threat. This will be good news for the companies held by the fund. This includes AccentureCiscoCrowdstrike, and Palo Alto Networks.

VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF (ASX: ESPO)

Another ASX ETF for growth investors is the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF. It gives investors exposure to the leading players in a global video game market estimated to comprise almost 3 billion active gamers and growing. And with the global video game market forecast to continue growing at a solid rate long into the future, it looks like it could be a good place to park your money.

Vanguard MSCI Australian Small Companies Index ETF (ASX: VSO)

A final option for growth investors to consider is the Vanguard MSCI Australian Small Companies Index ETF. This ASX ETF gives investors access to approximately 200 small and mid-cap ASX shares. Importantly, this includes a range of shares from this side of the market and not just the tail end of it. Among its holdings are growing companies Dicker Data Ltd (ASX: DDR) and Objective Corporation Ltd (ASX: OCL).
