If you're looking to invest smarter rather than harder, exchange-traded funds (ETFs) remain one of the easiest and most effective ways to grow your wealth on the ASX.
Each ETF offers instant diversification, professional management, and access to high-quality global or local stocks. This is all without the need to pick individual winners.
As we move into November, here are three excellent ASX ETFs that could reward patient investors in the years ahead.
BetaShares India Quality ETF (ASX: IIND)
India is one of the fastest-growing major economies in the world and the BetaShares India Quality ETF gives investors easy access to that growth.
The fund tracks an index of 30 of India's highest-quality stocks based on strong profitability, low debt, and consistent earnings performance. Its top holdings include Infosys (NYSE: INFY), Bharti Airtel, Tata Consultancy Services (NSEI: TCS), and Hindustan Unilever.
One standout holding is Infosys. It is a global leader in IT services and consulting. The company plays a pivotal role in India's digital transformation and has become a trusted partner to global enterprises looking to modernise operations. With strong profit margins and consistent dividend growth, Infosys demonstrates the kind of quality business that this fund seeks to capture. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF takes a Warren Buffett-style approach to investing. It does this by focusing on stocks with fair valuations and sustainable competitive advantages.
Some of the ETF's current top holdings include Nike (NYSE: NKE), Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS), PepsiCo (NASDAQ: PEP), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE).
One interesting name in the mix is PepsiCo, which is far more than just a soft drinks company. It owns a massive portfolio of globally recognised brands, including Doritos, Quaker Oats, and Gatorade. Its diversification across food and beverages has helped it maintain steady growth and profitability through different economic cycles. This is exactly the type of resilience that gives it a wide moat.
BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Finally, as one of the fastest-growing industries in the world, cybersecurity is something that investors cannot ignore.
The BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF gives investors easy access to the global leaders defending the digital economy. Its largest holdings include Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT), and Cisco Systems (NASDAQ: CSCO).
CrowdStrike provides an advanced cloud-native cybersecurity platform that helps businesses prevent and respond to cyber threats in real time. Its growth has been explosive, driven by rising demand from businesses and governments seeking to protect critical data from increasingly sophisticated attacks.
