If you've got $30,000 ready to deploy, spreading it across a few carefully chosen exchange traded funds (ETFs) can provide exposure to multiple long-term themes without overcomplicating things.
But which funds could be good picks for this money?
Here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth considering this February.

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The first ASX ETF to look at is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF.
It provides exposure to global cybersecurity leaders such as CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Zscaler (NASDAQ: ZS). These companies help governments and enterprises defend against increasingly sophisticated cyber threats.
With respect to CrowdStrike, its cloud-native Falcon platform uses artificial intelligence to detect and respond to threats in real time. As businesses shift more workloads to the cloud, endpoint protection becomes mission-critical. CrowdStrike's subscription-based model also provides recurring revenue and strong operating leverage as it scales.
With cyber threats rising globally and security budgets remaining a priority even in slower economic periods, the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF taps into a structural growth theme that shows little sign of slowing.
Vanguard MSCI International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
While thematic exposure is exciting, broad diversification remains powerful.
The Vanguard MSCI International Shares ETF gives investors access to over 1,000 stocks across developed markets. This includes Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Novo Nordisk (NYSE: NVO), and Visa (NYSE: V).
Rather than targeting a single industry, this fund captures global economic growth across healthcare, financials, technology, and consumer sectors. For example, Novo Nordisk is a global pharmaceutical leader in diabetes and obesity treatments. These are areas experiencing long-term demand growth due to ageing populations and lifestyle trends.
By holding the Vanguard MSCI International Shares ETF, investors effectively gain exposure to global earnings growth without needing to predict which country or sector will lead next.
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
Finally, the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF focuses on the Nasdaq 100, which is home to some of the most innovative companies in the world.
Its holdings include Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL), and Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE). These businesses sit at the centre of artificial intelligence, digital advertising, cloud computing, and creative software.
Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA) stands out in particular. The company designs the high-performance chips that power AI training and inference across data centres worldwide. From hyperscale cloud providers to enterprise AI deployments, Nvidia's GPUs have become critical hardware in the global AI buildout.
Overall, the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF remains a compelling way to gain concentrated exposure to US innovation and technology-driven growth.
