If you want to make some new additions to your portfolio in September but aren't keen on stock picking, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be the answer.

They allow you to buy large groups of shares with a single click of the button.

But which ASX ETFs could be quality options for investors next month? Let's take a look at five quality options:

BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be a great ASX ETF to buy in September. It provides investors with easy access to the best tech companies in the Asian region (but excluding Japan). Among its holdings are e-commerce leader Alibaba, search engine giant Baidu, iPhone manufacturer Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, and WeChat owner Tencent. BetaShares notes that due to its younger, tech-savvy population, Asia is surpassing the West in terms of technological adoption and the sector is anticipated to remain a growth sector. This could make it a great place to put your money over the next decade.

Betashares Australian Momentum ETF (ASX: MTUM)

Another ASX ETF that could be a great option for investors next month is the Betashares Australian Momentum ETF. It provides investors with access to a momentum strategy over Australian shares. Betashares is tipping it as a buy. It notes that momentum investing aims to identify stocks that show a recent trend of outperforming the broad market. It is an approach supported by economic theory and empirical data. Instead of aiming to profit from underlying company fundamentals, this type of investing is based on the theory that rising asset prices tend to continue rising, and falling prices tend to continue falling. The index the fund tracks has outperformed the S&P/ASX 200 index by 2.3% per annum since inception in May 2011 and through to the end of June 2024.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

A third ASX ETF that to look at in September is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. As its name hints, this fund gives investors access to 500 of the largest companies on Wall Street. This means that you will be buying a slice of a diverse group of shares from a range of different sectors. This includes world class companies and household names such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF could be another ASX ETF to buy next month. It provides investors with exposure to the global cybersecurity industry. This could be a great place to be over the next decade. That's because this side of the tech sector has been tipped to grow materially in the future due to the ever-increasing threat of cybercrime. Among its holdings are the leaders in the industry and emerging players. Both of which look set to benefit from growing demand for their services.

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

A final ASX ETF for investors to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. It could be worth considering if you are feeling bullish about the crypto market. That's because it gives investors exposure to the full crypto ecosystem. This includes pure-play crypto companies, those whose balance sheets are held at least 75% in crypto-assets, and diversified companies with crypto-focused business operations.
