Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

The first ASX ETF for investors to look at is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. It gives you exposure to around 1,200 large and mid-cap companies from developed markets — including the US, Japan, the UK, and Europe. It is a low-cost, highly diversified way to invest in the world's most established economies and industries.

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

Another ASX ETF for investors to look at is the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. It holds a concentrated portfolio of US companies that analysts believe have sustainable competitive advantages. It also blends in value by selecting stocks trading at attractive prices relative to their fair value. Current holdings include giants such as Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), Boeing (NYSE: BA), and Nike (NYSE: NKE).

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

A third ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. It is focused on leading tech companies across Asia, including Tencent, Alibaba, Samsung, and PDD Holdings. For investors who want exposure beyond Silicon Valley, this fund taps into one of the fastest-growing digital economies on the planet.

Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

If you are bullish on the long term outlook of cryptocurrencies but don't want to invest in coins then this ASX ETF could be for you. It offers investors exposure to the companies building the crypto economy. This includes exchanges like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), as well as miners and blockchain infrastructure providers.

Betashares Australian Quality ETF (ASX: AQLT)

A final option for Aussie investors to consider buying is the Betashares Australian Quality ETF. It is a smart way to own high-quality ASX shares with strong balance sheets, low debt, and stable earnings. In many respects, this is a refined version of the ASX 200 index, which could be ideal for long-term compounding. It was recently named as one to consider buying by the team at Betashares.
