Are you looking to bolster your investment portfolio with some new exchange traded funds (ETFs) this month?

If you are, it could be worth adding the three ASX ETFs listed below to your watchlist. They offer investors easy access to some of the most exciting companies in the world.

Let's see what makes these funds worth a closer look right now:

Betashares Global Defence ETF (ASX: ARMR)

The Betashares Global Defence ETF gives investors exposure to a portfolio of international companies that are involved in aerospace, military equipment, cybersecurity, and intelligence systems.

With NATO and countries around the world recently pledging to increase their defence budgets and growing demand for modern security infrastructure, the defence sector has long-term tailwinds.

This bodes well for major holdings including industry heavyweights such as Lockheed Martin Corp (NYSE: LMT), Raytheon Technologies Corp (NYSE: RTX), and Northrop Grumman Corp (NYSE: NOC).

The team at Betashares recently suggested that it could be one to consider buying right now.

Global X FANG+ ETF (ASX: FANG)

Another ASX ETF to look at is the Global X FANG+ ETF. It would be worth a look if you are wanting to tap into the dominance of global tech giants.

This ASX ETF tracks a concentrated index of just 10 high-powered stocks. This includes Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL).

These companies are not only leaders in their respective fields, but are also at the forefront of artificial intelligence, cloud computing, e-commerce, and digital advertising.

For investors who believe in the long-term growth of the global digital economy, this fund offers direct exposure to the heart of it.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

Finally, to complete the trio, the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be worth a close look.

This ASX ETF offers exposure to some of the fastest-growing digital economies in the world. It targets Asia's tech heavyweights — not just the giants like Tencent Holdings and Alibaba but also growing players like Temu owner PDD Holdings and e-commerce and digital payments platform company Sea Ltd.

For investors who want to capture the rising middle class and growing digital consumption across China, India, South Korea, and beyond, the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF offers a simple way to do so. This could make it worth considering for a balanced investment portfolio.
