If you have money to invest in the share market and fancy putting it into exchange-traded funds (ETFs), then it could be worth considering the five in this article.
Here's why these funds could be top options for investors in January:
iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)
The first ASX ETF that could be a top option for investors this month is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. This popular fund gives investors access to 500 of the largest listed companies on Wall Street. Among its holdings are some of the largest and most well-known companies in the world from a range of different industries and sectors. This includes Apple Inc (NASDAQ: AAPL), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: XOM), Microsoft Corp (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia Corp (NASDAQ: NVDA), Starbucks Corp (NASDAQ: SBUX), and Walmart Inc (NYSE: WMT).
BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
Another ASX ETF to consider is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. If you are bullish on the crypto market buy don't want to buy coins, then this fund could be the one for you. The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF has been designed to provide access to the full crypto ecosystem. This comprises pure-play crypto companies, those whose balance sheets are held at least 75% in crypto-assets, and diversified companies with crypto-focused business operations. These companies stand to benefit greatly if the crypto market continues to boom.
Betashares Global Uranium ETF (ASX: URNM)
A third ASX ETF that could be a good option for investors is the Betashares Global Uranium ETF. It could be a great pick if you believe that nuclear power is the future and the key to the decarbonisation of the planet. That's because this fund allows you to buy a slice of the leading companies in the global uranium industry. These companies are perfectly positioned to benefit over the next decade if the forecast strong demand for the chemical element materialises.
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
A fourth ASX ETF that could be a buy in January is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. This popular fund provides investors with easy access to the best tech stocks in the Asian region (excluding the Japan market). Many of these companies are expected to have very bright long term futures thanks to their exposure to Asia's growing middle class and its tech savvy population. Among the fund's holdings are e-commerce leader Alibaba, Temu owner PDD Holdings, and search giant Baidu.
Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)
Finally, a fifth ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF. It would be a great option if you are interested in investing in high-quality companies. That's because this fund, which was recommended by Betashares' chief economist, brings together about 150 companies that rank highest on four key quality metrics. These are return on equity, debt-to-capital, cash flow generation, and earnings stability. Its current holdings include ASML (NASDAQ: ASML), Nvidia and Visa (NYSE: V).
