If you have $3,000 to invest in February, exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be worth considering.

They make it easier to put that money to work without overthinking individual stock selection.

By choosing a small mix of ETFs with different roles, investors can gain diversification across regions and styles while still keeping things simple.

Here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth considering this month, each offering exposure to a different growth driver.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The first ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.

It tracks the Nasdaq 100 Index, which is home to many of the world's most influential technology and innovation-led companies. While the biggest names get the attention, looking further down the index highlights just how broad the opportunity set is.

As well as the Magnificent Seven, its holdings include companies such as Broadcom (NASDAQ: AVGO), Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), and Intuit (NASDAQ: INTU). These businesses are deeply embedded in enterprise software, semiconductors, and financial technology, areas that continue to grow even as trends evolve.

Rather than being a bet on one technology cycle, this fund provides exposure to an ecosystem of companies that tend to reinvest heavily and adapt as new opportunities emerge.

Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)

Another ASX ETF that could be a buy is the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF.

This fund focuses on global stocks with strong profitability, robust business models, and consistent earnings growth. It leans toward businesses that have demonstrated they can deliver returns through different economic conditions.

Among its holdings are stocks such as Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX), Uber (NYSE: UBER), and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). These businesses benefit from pricing power, recurring revenue, and entrenched market positions.

Overall, this fund could act as a stabilising core holding, providing global exposure with an emphasis on business quality rather than hype. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.

Betashares India Quality ETF (ASX: IIND)

A final ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares India Quality ETF.

This fund takes a selective approach to the Indian economy by focusing on higher-quality companies. This helps filter out some of the risks that can come with rapidly expanding economies.

Holdings include stocks such as Infosys (NYSE: INFY), HDFC Bank (NSEI: HDFCBANK), and Tata Consultancy Services (NSEI: TCS). These businesses play central roles in India's technology services and financial systems.

What makes this ASX ETF interesting today is its long-term focus. India's economy is expected to grow for decades, and this fund is designed to capture that growth through companies with stronger balance sheets and more consistent earnings. It was also recently recommended by the fund manager.
