Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity with investors.

In light of this, there's no shortage of options for Australian investors to choose from.

To narrow things down, let's see what one analyst is recommending this week, courtesy of The Bull. Here's what you need to know:

Munro Global Growth Fund Complex ETF (ASX: MAET)

DP Wealth Advisory is positive on the Munro Global Growth Fund Complex ETF.

It aims to smooth the investment journey through utilising capital preservation tools such as increased cash levels, shorts, put options, currency hedging, and equity exposure management. It gives investors access to an actively managed portfolio of 30-50 global growth stocks.

The advisory firm notes that it has a strong track record and positive outlook. It explains:

Funds under management, including its unlisted managed fund, exceed $1 billion. This exchange traded fund focuses on global companies involved in high performance computing, digital enterprise, climate, innovative health and security.

Also, the ETF focuses on capital preservation. Main investments in its February 2026 report included Nvidia, TSMC, Amazon and Alphabet. During the past five years, the fund has returned 9.1 per cent per annum. I hold MAET in my self managed super fund. I like the fund's historical record and outlook.

BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)

Another ASX ETF that DP Wealth Advisory is positive on is the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.

This fund provides investors with access to a group of Australian tech shares, including WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC) and Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO).

With ASX tech shares down heavily over the past 12 months, dragging this ETF down with them, DP Wealth Advisory appears to see now as an opportune time for investors to initiate a position in the fund.

Commenting on the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF, its analyst said:

This exchange traded fund invests in Australian technology companies. Across global exchanges, technology companies have been under pressure in response to the interruption and impact of artificial intelligence.

Companies held in this ETF include Computershare, WiseTech Global and Xero. Performance has been sub-optimal in the past 12 months, but has returned more than 9 per cent per annum in the past three years. ATEC had net assets of more than $483 million at March 18, 2026. An opportunity exists on a weaker share price and potentially improving technology stocks moving forward.
