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

Robotics and AI are transforming countless industries from healthcare to logistics and the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF allows investors to capture this change.

Its holdings include stocks such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG). These are businesses at the forefront of machine learning and healthcare innovation.

As AI matures, the market opportunity for many of the fund's holdings could be enormous over the coming decade. As a result, it will be no surprise to learn that it was recently named as one to buy by the team at Betashares.

Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS)

Another ASX ETF to look at is Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF. It is one of the simplest ways to capture the Australian share market, tracking the ASX 300 index.

This means you instantly gain exposure to the country's largest listed companies, including BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), and Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW).

By owning the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF, investors get a broad cross-section of the Australian economy, from resources and banks to healthcare and retail. It also delivers franked dividends, which are likely to be attractive for income-focused investors.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

For a thematic tilt, the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers exposure to one of the fastest-growing industries in the world — cybersecurity.

As cyberattacks and data breaches become increasingly common, businesses and governments are spending billions on protection.

The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF's portfolio includes leaders such as CrowdStrike Holdings (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT). These are all well-placed for growth over the next decade as the cybersecurity industry develops.

Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX: VTS)

Finally, the Vanguard US Total Market Shares Index ETF could be worth considering.

It offers investors exposure to virtually the entire US share market. From tech titans to small and mid-sized companies that are flying under the radar.

Among its large holdings are household names like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Home Depot (NYSE: HD) and Costco (NASDAQ: COST). This could make it a great way to access to the world's most dynamic economy, and a great way to diversify beyond Australia.
