If you are in the enviable position of having $25,000 available to invest in the share market, then it could be worth considering the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in this article.

Here's what could make them good options for investors in 2025 and beyond:

BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF)

The first ASX ETF for investors to consider for a $25,000 investment is the BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF. It was recently named as one to buy by BetaShares and provides investors with access to a whopping ~8,000 large, mid, and small cap stocks from Australia and globally. The fund manager highlights that the ETF has high growth potential and thinks that it would be suitable for investors with a high tolerance for risk.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Another ASX ETF that could be a top pick for a $25,000 investment in 2025 is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. This fund provides investors with access to the growing cybersecurity industry. Betashares, which has tipped it as one to buy, notes that "an estimate of the total addressable market by McKinsey suggests that the cybersecurity market is $1.5-$2.0 trillion globally, and at best only 10% penetrated." In light of this, Betashares points out that the industry has "a very long runway for growth." Among the ETF's holdings are all the leading players in the industry.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

A third ASX ETF that could be a good option for a $25,000 investment is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. It allows investors to buy a piece of 500 of the largest listed companies on Wall Street with a single click of the button. This is a diverse group of companies from a range of different industries and sectors. This includes many of the world's largest companies such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: XOM), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A fourth ASX ETF for investors to look at in 2025 is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. This ASX ETF focuses on investing in companies that Warren Buffett would normally buy for his Berkshire Hathaway business. These are companies with fair valuations, strong business models, and sustainable competitive advantages. Buffett has smashed the market for decades following this strategy.

Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (ASX: VHY)

Finally, if you are interested in generating income from your $25,000, then the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF could be the ASX ETF to buy. It uses broker research to identify in the region of 70 ASX shares that are forecast to have larger than average dividend yields. Among its holdings are giants such as BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), and Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS). The Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF currently trades with a dividend yield of 5%.
