Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
If you want exposure to global tech and innovation leaders, the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF could be the one.
This ASX ETF tracks the Nasdaq-100 Index, giving you a stake in 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange. That means instant exposure to giants like Apple, Microsoft, Amazon, NVIDIA, Tesla, and Alphabet — all leading the way in AI, cloud, electric vehicles, semiconductors, and digital infrastructure.
These companies continue to dominate their industries with scale, innovation, and strong balance sheets. As a result, this fund could be perfect for investors who want to stay aligned with some of the most powerful long-term trends in the global economy.
Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHFF)
For investors who want a one-stop, growth-focused portfolio, the Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF could be worth considering.
This ASX ETF provides exposure to approximately 8,000 shares listed on over 60 global exchanges, all in a single trade. It is designed for investors with a high risk tolerance and a long-term time horizon.
With exposure to both developed and emerging markets, the Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF could be good for growth-minded investors who want to buy and hold investments. It was recently tipped as a buy by the team at Betashares.
Betashares Australian Momentum ETF (ASX: MTUM)
A third and final ASX ETF for investors to look at is the Betashares Australian Momentum ETF.
It was also recently tipped as a buy by the team at Betashares. The fund manager highlights that this ASX ETF is the first to provide investors with a momentum strategy over Australian shares.
Momentum investing looks for stocks that show a recent trend of outperforming the broader market. It works on the theory that rising asset prices often continue rising, and falling prices tend to continue falling.
Betashares highlights that this has been a highly successful strategy in recent years, with the index the fund tracks outperforming on almost all time horizons since its inception over 13 years ago.
Its holdings currently include Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Goodman Group (ASX: GMG), and Pro Medicus Ltd (ASX: PME).
