There are some wonderful ASX shares out there worth buying for Aussies, whether they're beginner investors or experienced.
If I were starting out, I'd either start with one of the most popular, diversified exchange-traded funds (ETFs) such as Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS), or go for investments that may deliver the strongest growth.
Beginner investors don't need to put in tons of research to find good investments. We just need to find ideas that can unlock long-term earnings growth/capital growth. With that in mind, I like the following investments.
Tuas Ltd (ASX: TUA)
Tuas is a growing telecommunications business with a significant presence in Singapore. In the first half of FY25, the business grew its total number of active mobile services by 23.7% to 1.16 million. This demonstrates the business has already reached an impressive market share in the country.
With a user growth rate of 23.7%, I think the business still has further market share gains ahead.
Thanks to its operating leverage, it's achieving stronger profit margins as its revenue grows. In HY25, revenue surged 33.8% to $73.2 million and EBITDA (operating profit) jumped 47.8%.
I think the ASX share can achieve strong growth in the coming years if it reaches a good market position with its Singapore broadband offering, and if it successfully expands in other neighbouring Asian countries.
With the company operating in the defensive sector of telecommunications, I think the business has a very promising future of profit growth for beginner investors.
Global X S&P World EX Australia GARP ETF (ASX: GARP)
I think this ASX ETF has the potential to be one of the strongest-performing funds over the next three years because of the combination of investment strategies it utilises. I'm calling this an ASX share because it trades on the ASX.
It aims to invest in a portfolio of global companies with strong earnings (and sales) growth, solid financial strength (with low debt and a strong return on equity (ROE)) and trading at reasonable valuations.
Past performance is not a guarantee of future returns, but over the five years to April 2025, the index this fund tracks has delivered an average return per year of 19.6%.
It also comes with pleasing diversification – there are 250 companies in the portfolio from multiple countries and sectors. At the moment, some of its biggest holdings include Berkshire Hathaway, Microsoft, Meta Platforms, Alphabet and Nvidia.
When you put all that together, I think it's a great choice for beginner investors.
