Not everyone enjoys researching stocks, comparing valuations, or tracking market announcements.
And the good news is you don't have to.
Thanks to a handful of high-quality ETFs on the ASX, you can build a globally diversified portfolio in minutes, without picking a single stock.
If you want a simple, long-term investment strategy that essentially runs itself, these three ASX ETFs could be all you ever need.
BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF (ASX: DHHF)
If there is one ETF built specifically for people who never want to think about asset allocation again, it is the BetaShares Diversified All Growth ETF.
This fund is a fully diversified, growth-focused portfolio wrapped into a single ETF. It spreads your money across over 8,000 stocks worldwide through underlying index exposures.
Inside the fund's underlying holdings, you will find global giants like Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA), along with broad exposure to the Australian market and other developed economies. It is designed for long-term compounding, with no need to rebalance or manage the portfolio.
For investors who want a simple, set-and-forget strategy, this ASX ETF is about as close as it gets to a complete, all-in-one solution. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.
iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)
For those wanting exposure to the world's most influential share market, the iShares S&P 500 ETF is hard to beat. It tracks the S&P 500 Index, which includes the 500 largest and most dominant companies in the United States.
These include global powerhouses such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and McDonald's (NYSE: MCD). Together, they represent many of the world's most profitable, innovative, and globally competitive corporations.
The S&P 500 has delivered strong long-term returns for decades. By simply holding this fund, investors automatically participate in the growth of world-leading stocks without ever needing to choose between them.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF gives you exposure to more than 1,200 international stocks across Europe, Asia, and North America, but excluding Australia. This means it offers deep diversification.
Its holdings include giants from a range of industries like Nestlé (SWX: NESN), Toyota Motor Corp (TYO: 7203), and ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML).
This broad global footprint helps smooth out volatility and ensures your portfolio isn't overly concentrated in a single market. Overall, it could be a great long term option for investors that don't want to pick stocks.
