Key points

  • The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF offers growth investors exposure to leading cloud infrastructure and software companies, benefiting from the ongoing shift to cloud-based business operations.
  • The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF provides a gateway to Asia's fast-growing tech sector, featuring influential companies in e-commerce, gaming, and AI.

For investors looking to grow their wealth steadily over the years ahead, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remain one of the smartest tools available.

While some ETFs are designed for income or stability, others focus squarely on growth by investing in sectors and technologies expected to expand rapidly over the next decade.

From digital transformation to artificial intelligence and Asia's technology boom, a select few ASX ETFs stand out for their ability to capture long-term megatrends that could drive significant wealth creation for patient investors. Here are three to consider buying:

Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

The first ASX ETF for investors to consider is the Betashares Cloud Computing ETF.

It is fair to say that the shift to the cloud has been one of the defining business trends of the past decade. Well, the good news is that the shift is far from over and still has many years to run.

The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF captures this growth by investing in leading cloud infrastructure and software stocks. This includes holdings like Shopify (NASDAQ: SHOP), which specialises in cloud-based ecommerce software, and ServiceNow (NYSE: NOW), a global leader in digital workflow solutions. As more businesses move operations online and adopt multi-cloud strategies, the demand for these services should keep growing strongly.

This fund was recently recommended by the team at Betashares.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be a top pick for Aussie investors. It taps into the rapid growth of the Asian technology sector. Its portfolio includes heavyweights such as Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700), Alibaba (NYSE: BABA), Samsung Electronics, PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), and Baidu (NASDAQ: BIDU). These are companies driving innovation across e-commerce, gaming, social media, and artificial intelligence across the region.

Overall, this ASX ETF offers Australian investors a simple way to gain exposure to this dynamic region and benefit from its long-term growth potential.

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

Another ASX ETF for investors to consider buying is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF. It provides investors with exposure to stocks that are leading the way in automation, robotics, and artificial intelligence. Its holdings include Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG), and ABB (SWX: ABBN). These are all central to the digital and industrial transformation reshaping the global economy.

While it could be more volatile than other ETFs, the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF adds long-term upside potential by tapping into one of the most powerful megatrends of the coming decades. This fund was also recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.
