A new financial year has arrived, and with it comes a timely opportunity to refresh and refocus your investment portfolio.

For many Australians, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remain one of the smartest ways to gain exposure to high-potential sectors and global megatrends.

If you're looking to energise your investments in FY 2026, here are three ASX ETFs that could give your portfolio the boost it needs.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Tech continues to dominate global markets — and the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF offers investors easy access to some of the world's most influential companies.

Tracking the Nasdaq-100 Index, this ETF provides exposure to giants like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).

But it is not all about technology. The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF also includes strong, established brands such as Costco (NASDAQ: COST), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), and PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP) — names that combine resilience with global reach.

Overall, for investors looking for a combination of innovation and quality, this fund remains a compelling choice in the new financial year.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

As cybercrime becomes more sophisticated and widespread, demand for digital security continues to skyrocket. The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers access to a carefully curated portfolio of global cybersecurity companies that are leading the charge in protecting our data, infrastructure, and digital networks.

The ASX ETF holds stocks like Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT). These businesses offer essential services in an increasingly connected world.

And with cybersecurity spending projected to rise strongly in the years ahead, the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF positions investors perfectly to benefit from this.

Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)

Finally, there are few sectors that are as exciting — or as transformational — as robotics and AI. The Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF provides investors with access to a fast-evolving universe of companies that are driving automation, machine learning, and intelligent systems across multiple industries.

Its holdings include leaders like Keyence Corp, Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and NVIDIA. These are businesses at the forefront of fields such as industrial automation, surgical robotics, and autonomous vehicles. As adoption of AI-powered solutions accelerates globally, this Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF stands to benefit greatly. It was recently named as one to consider buying by the team at Betashares.
