For investors looking to put fresh money to work in October, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) offer one of the simplest and most effective ways to gain exposure to powerful investment themes.
By buying a single ETF, you can instantly access a diversified basket of stocks and industries, cutting out the need to pick individual winners.
With $2,000, you could spread your investment across a few high-potential options. Here are three ASX ETFs that could be among the best to buy next month.
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first ASX ETF to consider in October is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF. It gives investors access to some of the world's most influential technology stocks. This includes Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA). These businesses have been at the forefront of innovation in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and electric vehicles.
The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF has been one of the ASX's most popular ETFs for years, and for good reason. The US tech sector has delivered stellar long-term returns, and many of these stocks remain positioned for further growth as digital transformation accelerates globally. For Australian investors, it is one of the easiest ways to participate in Silicon Valley's success.
Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)
Another ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF. It focuses on stocks leading the shift to cloud-based services. Holdings include names like Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), and Snowflake (NYSE: SNOW). These are businesses allowing organisations worldwide to move their infrastructure, data, and software into the cloud.
This isn't just a passing trend. Cloud adoption continues to rise as companies seek more efficient, scalable, and secure ways to operate. With artificial intelligence and data analytics increasingly powered by cloud platforms, this fund gives investors exposure to one of the most critical foundations of the digital economy. It was recently named as one to consider buying by Betashares.
Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
Finally, for those who want a more adventurous slice of their portfolio, the Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF provides exposure to stocks shaping the cryptocurrency and blockchain sectors. It includes names like Coinbase (NASDAQ: COIN), Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT), and Galaxy Digital (NASDAQ: GLXY), which stand to benefit as digital assets gain broader acceptance.
While this ETF is more volatile than traditional market exposures, it offers investors a way to tap into the growth of blockchain technology without needing to buy individual cryptocurrencies directly. For those willing to stomach the ups and downs, the Betashares Crypto Innovators ETF could provide powerful long-term upside.
