BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
Artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics are transforming industries worldwide, and the BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF offers investors easy exposure to some of the leading companies driving this revolution. It was also recently named as one to buy by the fund manager.
This ASX ETF tracks the Indxx Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence Thematic Index, which focuses on identifying the industries and sub-themes positively impacted by robotics and AI.
It includes major players like Nvidia, which is at the forefront of AI development. However, it also provides exposure to other industries leveraging robotics and AI, such as healthcare and engineering. Given the rapid advancements in AI and automation, this fund offers a compelling investment opportunity for those looking to tap into this high-growth sector.
BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)
Finally, for those seeking a more conservative yet highly effective long-term investment, the BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF is worth considering. This ASX ETF follows a rules-based approach to identify companies with strong fundamentals, including high return on equity, low debt-to-capital ratios, stable earnings, and strong cash flow generation.
Its holdings include global blue-chip companies such as Arista Networks, Cisco Systems, Visa, Procter & Gamble, and Johnson & Johnson. The philosophy behind QLTY aligns closely with Warren Buffett's approach of investing in "wonderful companies at a fair price." This could make it a great choice for those who want to follow in the footsteps of the legendary investor. Betashares has named the fund as one to consider buying.
