When it comes to investing, exchange traded funds (ETFs) are one of the smartest tools available.
They offer instant diversification and exposure to global themes — all without the need to pick individual stocks.
And with markets presenting fresh opportunities in the wake of recent volatility, now is a great time to position for long-term growth.
Here are five excellent ASX ETFs to consider buying right now.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF gives you exposure to the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq. These are the giants of our age, leading the way in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, e-commerce, and digital infrastructure.
With this ASX ETF still trading meaningfully lower than its high, now could be a great time to accumulate world-class growth at more attractive prices.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF tracks the MSCI World ex-Australia Index, giving you exposure to more than 1,500 large and mid-cap companies across the developed world. It includes household names across the US, UK, Europe, Japan, and more.
For investors seeking broad international diversification, this ASX ETF could be an excellent core holding.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF is another ASX ETF to look at. It allows investors to buy a collection of fairly valued stocks with sustainable competitive advantages or wide moats. These are businesses with strong pricing power, brand strength, and long-term earnings growth.
This means that investors can invest in the style of Warren Buffett without having to do any research. It could be an excellent choice for investors who want to make long term buy and hold investments.
Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)
Cloud computing has become the backbone of the modern economy, powering everything from streaming to e-commerce, data analytics, and AI.
The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF gives investors exposure to the world's leading cloud service providers and related companies. These are building the digital infrastructure that other industries now depend on.
With cloud adoption still in its early innings globally, this ASX ETF is a great way to gain exposure to one of the most important technology trends of our time. Betashares recently tipped it as one to buy.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Finally, cybersecurity is no longer optional — it is critical. With growing digital threats and rising cybercrime, companies and governments alike are pouring billions into defence.
The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers exposure to a portfolio of global cybersecurity leaders that are well-positioned to benefit from this megatrend. This could make it a great long term pick for Aussie investors.
