If you have money to put into the share market but aren't a fan of stock picking, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be the answer.
But which ones could be quality picks right now?
Listed below are three that could be worth considering for a $1,000 investment this month. They are as follows:
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be a great pick for Aussie investors.
It offers easy exposure to a hand-picked selection of the Asia region's top tech companies or tigers. This ASX ETF includes titans such as Alibaba, PDD Holdings, Baidu, Tencent, and Samsung. These are businesses that dominate e-commerce, artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital payments in their respective markets.
With Asia's middle class expanding rapidly, driving digital adoption and technological advancements at an unprecedented pace, the companies included in this fund appear well-placed for growth over the next decade.
Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
Another ASX ETF to consider for a $1,000 investment is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF.
AI and robotics are no longer science fiction, they are transforming how businesses operate globally. From automation in logistics to generative AI in the workplace, the scale of disruption is enormous — and just getting started.
The Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF gives investors access to global companies that are driving the AI and robotics revolution. This includes names like chip maker NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), robotics company Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and automation company Keyence.
As artificial intelligence becomes a foundational technology across every sector, this fund offers a diversified and focused way for investors to ride the wave.
VanEck Global Defence ETF (ASX: DFND)
Finally, the VanEck Global Defence ETF could be an ASX ETF to consider buying with that $1,000 investment.
It is Australia's first dedicated defence ETF, tracking the MarketVector Global Defence Industry Index. This fund holds companies that generate more than 50% of their revenue from military and defence activities across aerospace, software, consulting, and security. This includes the likes of Palantir Technologies Inc (NASDAQ: PLTR) and Thales.
Geopolitical tensions, increased military spending, and shifting global alliances have reignited the importance of defence and aerospace innovation. Europe, the US, and Australia are all ramping up defence budgets to modernise and secure infrastructure. This bodes well for the growth outlooks for the companies included in the fund.
