If you have $20,000 to invest in ASX shares today, but don't know where to look, here are my three top picks.

Wisetech Global (ASX: WTC)
Wisetech shares closed 2.12% higher on Thursday afternoon, at $64.21 each. Over the past month the shares have dropped 22.62% and over the year they're down a painful 53.63%.
The company provides logistics software that aims to improve the world's supply chains. Wisetech has a good growth pipeline, and I think this year's price plunge is the result of an overdone investor sell-off.
Analysts think the company's share price will rebound too. Earlier this week, DP Wealth Advisory said it thinks the beaten-down tech stock as a buy. The broker said that long-term fundamentals and market leadership support a great buying opportunity for investors.
Bell Potter, Morgans, and Shaw and Partners' Jed Richards also all have a buy rating on the stock.
TradingView data shows that analysts forecast a maximum price target as high as $177.97. At the time of writing that implies the ASX 200 tech share has a potential upside of 177.18% over the next 12 months.
Pro Medicus (ASX: PME)
Meanwhile, the Pro Medicus share price closed 1.07% higher at $253.04 a piece on Thursday afternoon. The shares have dropped 11.79% over the past month but are still 17.9% higher than this time last year.
Pro Medicus specialises in advanced medical imaging software through its Visage platform. It enables radiologists to review scans with high speed and efficiency. The company has a growing recurring revenue, great margins and a ultra-light capital business model too, which means it's poised for strong growth.
Analysts are very positive on the stock too with Pro Medicus shares making a few list of top-buys or ASX growth share picks. The team at Citi recently upgraded Pro Medicus to a buy rating with a $350.00 price target. Morgans has also upgraded Pro Medicus' shares to an accumulate rating with a slightly more bearish $290.00 price target. These price targets imply a potential 14.6% to 38.3% upside for investors over the next 12 months.
DigiCo Infrastructure REIT Stapled Securities (ASX: DGT)
For investors looking for exposure to Australia's hot property market without the risk, a real estate investment trust (REIT) with strong growth prospects is a sensible buy.
DigiCo's share price closed 3.33% higher on Thursday afternoon, at $2.48 a piece. That's a 12.06% drop over the month, and over the year, the shares are 50.4% lower thanks for a huge sell off in March.
On the surface the annual decline might look concerning, but I think it makes for a great buying opportunity. The company recently held a strong annual general meeting (AGM) and said it has surpassed guidance for FY25.
Macquarie thinks the low price presents a good buying opportunity, too. The broker has an outperform rating on the shares and a $4.16 target price. At the time of writing, that implies a potential 67.74% upside over the next 12 months.
