The global share market has taken a major hit in March, with shares tumbling due to renewed trade tensions. The catalyst? U.S. President Donald Trump's launch of sweeping trade tariffs, which have rattled global markets and triggered widespread selling.

While market corrections can be unsettling, they also open the door to opportunities for long-term investors. With high-quality ASX ETFs now trading at discounted prices, this could be the perfect time to buy and hold for the years ahead.

Here are three no-brainer ASX ETFs that have pulled back but remain compelling for the long-term.

BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF provides investors with exposure to some of the world's most innovative and dominant companies. This includes Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG). While U.S. tech stocks have been caught squarely in the market selloff, their long-term growth potential remains undeniable.

The Nasdaq has historically been one of the best-performing indices, and selloffs like this have often proven to be great buying opportunities. With artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation driving future earnings growth, this current weakness could be a gift for investors looking to gain exposure to high-quality U.S. tech stocks at a discount.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Cybersecurity is one of the fastest-growing sectors globally, and the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF gives investors access to leading cybersecurity companies like CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD) and Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW).

The increasing prevalence of cyber threats means that demand for cybersecurity solutions isn't going away any time soon. So, with governments and corporations investing heavily in digital security, BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF remains a quality long-term investment idea, and its recent dip could be a great entry point.

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

Finally, much like their US counterparts, Australian tech stocks have taken a real beating in March, but history suggests they could bounce back strongly. The BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF holds some of Australia's best growth companies. This includes WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE). These companies are well-positioned to thrive in the digital economy.

As a result, investors willing to ride out short-term turbulence could be handsomely rewarded in the long run. Especially with the ASX ETF trading at a notably lower valuation after the market selloff. Betashares recently named it as one to buy.
