When markets turn bullish, it is often the high-growth sectors that race ahead first.
Technology, innovation, and future-focused industries can see outsized gains as investor confidence surges and capital flows back into riskier assets.
For ASX investors, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) make it easy to tap into these opportunities without having to pick individual winners. With one trade, you can own a diversified slice of some of the world's fastest-growing companies.
With that in mind, here are three ASX ETFs that could be well placed to shine when the next bull market takes off.
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ASX ETF for investors to consider is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. It offers exposure to 50 of the largest and most innovative technology companies in Asia. Its portfolio includes giants like Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM), PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), and Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700). These are companies at the forefront of semiconductors, e-commerce, and digital services.
Asia's technology sector is riding powerful tailwinds, from the rise of AI to the rapid growth of its middle class and online economy. When risk appetite is high, high-growth Asian tech stocks have historically delivered outsized returns, making this fund a strong candidate for a bull market play.
Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
Another ASX ETF for the next bull market is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF. It invests in global companies leading the charge in robotics, automation, and artificial intelligence. This includes industry leaders like NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and Keyence Corporation.
As industries worldwide adopt automation and AI, the revenue growth potential for these companies is enormous. Bull markets often coincide with investor enthusiasm for future-focused sectors, which could put the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF firmly in the spotlight.
Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)
Finally, the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF could be a great pick in the next bull market. It provides exposure to a basket of global cloud computing companies — the infrastructure behind much of the digital economy. Key holdings include Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Salesforce (NYSE: CRM).
Cloud services are becoming mission-critical for businesses of all sizes, enabling remote work, data storage, and AI-powered applications. In a bull market, investors often pile into these tech enablers, driving strong price performance. Betashares recently named it as one to consider buying.
