Exchange traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity with Aussie investors, and it isn't hard to see why.

With just one investment, you can gain exposure to hundreds or even thousands of stocks at once. This makes it easier than ever to build a diversified portfolio.

But which ASX ETFs could be buys right now? Let's take a look at two that analysts are tipping as buys, courtesy of The Bull. Here's what you need to know about these funds:

Betashares Global Shares Ex US ETF (ASX: EXUS)

The team at DP Wealth Advisory thinks that investors should be buying the Betashares Global Shares Ex US ETF.

This ASX ETF is invested in global shares outside the United States. The advisory firm notes that the fund provides diversification for a portfolio by focusing on the 30% of the global market that is found off Wall Street. It said:

This exchange traded fund focuses on global investments outside the United States. The US accounts for more than 70 per cent of global market size. Some investors are seeking further diversification and less concentration risk. At end of January 2026, main holdings in this ETF included ASML, Roche and HSBC. Geographically, exposure at the end of January 2026 included Japan, the United Kingdom and Canada. While the ETF was only listed on the ASX in November 2025, the index it follows has shown returns of more [than] 12 per cent per annum over the past five years.

BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF – Currency Hedged (ASX: FUEL)

Another ASX ETF that is being tipped as a buy by experts this week is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF.

Fairmont Equities is positive on this fund. After a strong run for precious metals and base metals, it believes that the energy sector could be next in line for a bull run. As this ETF gives investors exposure to the biggest players in the sector, Fairmont Equities sees it as a good option for 2026. It explains:

I have been bullish on commodities for the past two years. The uptrend in precious metals was followed by base metals. Now, I believe the energy sector is poised for a bull run in response to increasing demand. This exchange traded fund captures the biggest global oil and gas companies. Not only are many investors still underweight in the energy sector, but this ETF is now breaking out of a multi-year trading range. This means the ETF is most likely at the start of a major uptrend, which should last throughout 2026, in my view.
