Among the companies included in the fund are industry leaders such as AccentureCiscoCrowdstrike, and Palo Alto Networks.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ASX ETF for investors to consider for tech sector exposure is the popular BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. It allows investors to buy a slice of many of the most iconic companies in the world. This includes tech giants such as Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, Netflix, and Nvidia. BetaShares highlights that the ETF provides diversified exposure to a high-growth potential sector that is under-represented on the Australian share market.

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

A final ASX ETF that gives investors access to the tech sector is the VanEck Vectors Video Gaming and eSports ETF. As its name implies, this ETF is focused on the growing global video game market, which is estimated to currently comprise almost 3 billion active gamers. Among its holdings are gaming industry giants such as Electronic ArtsNintendoRoblox, and Take-Two. VanEck highlights that this ETF allows investors to get diversified tech exposure away from Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Google and Microsoft.
