Key points
  • ETFs provide simple diversification and exposure to global growth themes, making them an attractive option in the current ASX bull market.
  • The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF gives investors access to leading Asian tech giants driving ecommerce, semiconductors, and AI.
  • The Betashares Global Robotics & AI ETF and Betashares Cloud Computing ETF target powerful megatrends reshaping industries and could benefit strongly from the next market upswing.

The ASX is currently in a bull market, and with interest rates falling, it appears to still have plenty more gas in its tank.

But if you're not sure which ASX shares to buy, you could turn to exchange-traded funds (ETFs) instead.

They offer a simple way to gain exposure to the bull market, giving you instant diversification and exposure to powerful global trends.

With that in mind, here are three of the best ASX ETFs to consider for the next leg of this bull market. They are as follows:

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The first ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF. It provides exposure to some of the biggest and fastest-growing tech companies in Asia. Its holdings include Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700), Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (NYSE: TSM), and Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA).

As Asia's middle class grows and digital adoption accelerates, these stocks are at the forefront of ecommerce, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence. While volatility is common in emerging markets, the growth potential in a bull run could be enormous. This could make it a great pick in the current environment.

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

Another ASX ETF that could thrive in this bull market is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF. It is focused on a theme that's already reshaping industries: automation and AI. It invests in stocks building robots, AI software, and enabling technologies.

That includes names like Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), whose robotic systems are transforming healthcare, and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), a global leader in AI chips. As businesses invest heavily in AI to boost productivity, the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF could be a big beneficiary in the next market upswing. It was recently named as one to consider buying by Betashares.

Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

Finally, the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF could be a third ASX ETF to buy for the next leg of this bull market. It taps into another long-term megatrend: the migration of data and applications to the cloud. From remote work to artificial intelligence, the cloud is now essential infrastructure.

Holdings include Salesforce (NYSE: CRM), a global leader in customer management software, and ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), which provides workflow automation tools. With cloud adoption continuing to expand globally, the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF could deliver strong returns when growth stocks are back in favour. It was also tipped as one to consider buying by Betashares.
