There are a lot of options on the Australian share market. So many it can be hard to decide which shares to buy.
If you are paralysed by choice, then exchange-traded funds (ETFs) could be a good option for you.
They remain one of the smartest ways to gain broad exposure to quality assets without the stress of picking individual stocks.
With that in mind, let's take a look at three ASX ETFs that could be good picks in 2026 and beyond. Here's what you need to know about them:

Betashares Australian Momentum ETF (ASX: MTUM)
The Betashares Australian Momentum ETF gives investors exposure to the strongest-performing shares on the ASX. This means its holdings are updated regularly to reflect the top Australian stocks that are showing the highest price momentum.
This means the ASX ETF naturally adapts to changing market conditions. When leadership shifts, Betashares Australian Momentum ETF shifts with it. At present, its portfolio includes well-known names such as Qantas Airways Ltd (ASX: QAN), Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL), and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES).
Momentum investing tends to perform best during market upswings, capturing the shares that are already trending higher. So, with the ASX expected to benefit from lower interest rates and stronger economic growth in 2026, this fund could be well positioned to ride the next phase of the bull market.
Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF)
For investors who prefer simplicity, the Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF is a complete, globally diversified portfolio in a single trade. It is designed for those seeking long-term capital growth through exposure to thousands of stocks across Australia, the United States, Europe, and emerging markets.
The Betashares Diversified All Growth ETF holds a collection of other funds covering sectors like technology, healthcare, industrials, and financials. That means investors get exposure to global powerhouses such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), all through one ASX-listed fund.
With a focus on growth assets, this ASX ETF could be a good fit for investors who want broad diversification and are happy to leave their money to compound.
Betashares Global Uranium ETF (ASX: URNM)
Finally, if you are looking to add a thematic growth opportunity to your portfolio, the Betashares Global Uranium ETF could be a good choice. It provides exposure to a rapidly re-emerging nuclear power industry, which is seeing renewed global demand as countries seek reliable, low-carbon power sources.
The Betashares Global Uranium ETF invests in a mix of uranium miners, refiners, and producers, including Cameco Corp (NYSE: CCJ), NexGen Energy (ASX: NXG), and Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN).
As governments around the world turn to nuclear energy to meet emissions targets and stabilise their grids, uranium could be one of the standout commodities of the next decade and this fund offers an easy, diversified way to participate.
