If you are fortunate enough to have $5,000 available to invest in the share market, then it could be worth checking out the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) listed below.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first option for investors to consider is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.
This popular fund tracks the 100 largest non-financial stocks that are listed on the famous Nasdaq exchange, giving investors access to innovation leaders such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), and Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN).
These are the businesses driving the world's digital economy. They are powering advances in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, electric vehicles, and automation. While the tech sector can be volatile in the short term (just look at Friday night on Wall Street), its long-term earnings growth potential remains hard to beat.
In light of this and its likely pullback this morning, now could be a good time to snap up this ASX ETF for the long term.
Vanguard Australian Shares ETF (ASX: VAS)
If you are interested in local exposure, then this could be achieved with the Vanguard Australian Shares ETF.
This ASX ETF tracks the ASX 300 index, covering Australia's largest and most established companies, including BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), and Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL).
The Vanguard Australian Shares ETF offers broad diversification across the Australian market and pays regular, franked dividends. This could make it a great core holding for income and long-term stability. It also provides a strong domestic base to balance out higher-growth international ETFs.
Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
Finally, if you want some exposure to Asia's fast-growing technology sector for your $5,000 then the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be worth a look.
This ASX ETF holds some of the region's biggest tech names, including Tencent Holdings (SEHK: 700), Alibaba Group (NYSE: BABA), PDD Holdings (NASDAQ: PDD), and Baidu Inc (NASDAQ: BIDU).
Asia's tech sector continues to expand rapidly, driven by digital adoption, artificial intelligence, and ecommerce. While short-term performance can fluctuate, the long-term potential of this region's technology leaders remains enormous. Especially given its growing middle class.
