BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The first ASX ETF to consider buying is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It provides investors access to a global cybersecurity sector that is forecast to grow significantly in the coming years. This is being underpinned by increasing demand for cybersecurity due to the rising threat of cybercrime and the shift to the cloud. Among the companies included in the fund are industry giants Accenture, Cisco, and Palo Alto Networks.
Betashares Global Uranium ETF (ASX: URNM)
Another ASX ETF for investors to look at is the Betashares Global Uranium ETF. It offers exposure to a portfolio of leading companies in the global uranium industry. With uranium demand expected to surge over the next decade and supply struggling to keep up, the companies included in the fund appear well-positioned for growth. Among its holdings are locally listed uranium miners Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE) and Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN).
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
One of the most popular ASX ETFs out there is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF with billions of Australian dollar invested in the fund. And it isn't hard to see why so many people buy this ETF. It gives investors easy access to 100 of the largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ index. These are the giants of our age. They provide the phones, streaming services, spreadsheets, online stores, search engines, graphics cards, and social media platforms we use on a daily basis.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another option for investors to consider for a $10,000 investment is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. It could be a particularly good option for investors looking to diversify a portfolio. That's because it provides easy access to approximately 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies (excluding Australia).
Vanguard U.S. Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX: VTS)
Finally, if you would prefer to just invest in the US market, then it could be worth looking at the Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF. That's because this fund allows investors to buy a slice of ~4,000 US-listed shares of all shapes and sizes. Vanguard highlights that this allows investors to participate in the long-term growth potential of the US economy and its listed companies.
