If you've got $3,000 ready to invest, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could be a smart way to put it to work.
That's because rather than trying to pick a single winning stock, ETFs give you instant diversification and exposure to powerful global themes.
But which ASX ETFs could be good options for Aussie investors today?
Let's take a look at three fantastic options that could be destined for big things over the next decade. They are as follows:
Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
The first ASX ETF that could be a buy for that $3,000 is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF. It is designed to capture growth from one of the defining megatrends of our time — automation and AI. This fund provides exposure to stocks that are building robots, AI software, and enabling technologies that are reshaping industries.
Holdings include Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), a pioneer in robotic-assisted surgery, and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), whose chips power much of today's AI revolution. With adoption of AI expected to accelerate across healthcare, logistics, and manufacturing, the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF gives investors an easy way to ride this structural growth wave.
The team at Betashares recently tipped it as one to snap up.
Betashares Australian Momentum ETF (ASX: MTUM)
The Betashares Australian Momentum ETF is another ASX ETF to consider buying. It takes a different approach by targeting around 100 ASX shares with the strongest price momentum. The strategy is simple: companies that are already performing well often continue to do so.
This fund can tilt towards a variety of sectors depending on market leadership at the time. For instance, the Betashares Australian Momentum ETF currently has heavier weightings to financials, consumer discretionary, and industrials, reflecting where strength has been most pronounced on the ASX recently. It is a dynamic way to invest that adapts automatically as trends shift.
It was also recently named as one to consider buying by Betashares.
Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF (ASX: VTS)
Finally, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF offers exposure to more than 4,000 U.S. stocks, ranging from giants like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN) to smaller, fast-growing companies. It is one of the broadest, most diversified ways to tap into the U.S. market.
For Australians, the Vanguard Total Stock Market ETF is particularly attractive because it provides instant access to the largest share market in the world, with companies driving global innovation across technology, healthcare, and consumer sectors. As a buy and hold cornerstone investment, it is hard to look past.
