If you're ready to put $1,000 to work in the share market this month, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) can be a great way to get broad diversification and exposure to world-class companies—without needing to pick individual stocks.

Three ASX ETFs stand out for their quality, innovation, and long-term potential are listed below. Let's see why they could be great picks for your money in June:

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

For investors looking to tap into the future of digital innovation, the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF provides exposure to some of Asia's most influential tech giants.

Its portfolio includes cutting-edge companies across e-commerce, cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors.

Names like Tencent Holdings, Temu owner PDD Holdings, Alibaba, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co (TSMC) feature heavily in the fund. These are not only large and globally competitive businesses but also operate in some of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world.

Investing in this fund could be an exciting way to gain access to long-term structural trends in the region, particularly as digital transformation deepens across emerging Asian markets.

Vanguard International Shares Index ETF (ASX: VGS)

Another ASX ETF to consider for the $1,000 investment is the Vanguard International Shares Index ETF.

This ASX ETF tracks the MSCI World ex-Australia Index, which includes large and mid-cap companies from developed markets outside Australia. This means investors get instant access to over 1,500 of the world's biggest companies, including household names like Apple, Microsoft, and Nestle.

As a result, with one simple trade, investors get exposure to a geographically diverse and sector-balanced portfolio. That can be a powerful combination for building long-term wealth with limited capital.

It's particularly useful for investors who want international diversification without having to worry about picking and monitoring individual overseas stocks.

Betashares Australian Quality ETF (ASX: AQLT)

Finally, the Betashares Australian Quality ETF could be a top ASX ETF to consider with your hard-earned money.

As you might have guessed from its name, the Betashares Australian Quality ETF gives investors exposure to a portfolio of high-quality ASX shares.

These companies stand out for their strong return on equity, earnings stability, and financial health. Many have durable competitive advantages—like brand strength, pricing power, and capital discipline.

In uncertain markets, the quality factor has historically provided downside protection while still delivering solid long-term returns.

Betashares points to research showing that quality companies tend to outperform during periods of economic turbulence, making this ASX ETF an attractive option for investors who want to sleep well at night while still aiming for growth. It's no wonder it was recently tipped as one to buy by the fund manager.
