If you are planning to invest this month, ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a great place to start.

They offer instant diversification, exposure to global markets, and a simple way to build a portfolio without needing to pick individual stocks.

The key is choosing funds that give you a mix of growth, quality, and long-term opportunity.

Here are five excellent ASX ETFs to consider next week.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

The first ASX ETF that could be a top option is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.

This ETF provides broad exposure to developed markets around the world, including the United States, Europe, and parts of Asia.

Its holdings include global giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).

What makes the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF appealing is its simplicity. It allows investors to access global growth through a single investment, potentially making it an ideal core holding.

BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the hugely popular BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF.

It focuses on the Nasdaq 100, which is heavily weighted towards technology and innovation-driven companies.

Top holdings include Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL).

This fund provides more concentrated exposure to high-growth sectors, which could help drive strong portfolio returns over time.

VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF (ASX: QUAL)

A third ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF.

It focuses on high-quality stocks with strong earnings, solid balance sheets, and lasting competitive advantages.

Its holdings include Microsoft, Visa (NYSE: V), and Johnson & Johnson (NYSE: JNJ).

This quality tilt can help provide resilience during periods of market volatility. It was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.

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

A fourth ASX ETF to consider is the BetaShares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.

It offers exposure to Australia's leading technology companies. This includes Xero Ltd (ASX: XRO), WiseTech Global Ltd (ASX: WTC), and TechnologyOne Ltd (ASX: TNE).

It provides a way to gain access to local innovation and growth businesses that are expanding globally. And with ASX tech shares down heavily from their highs, now could be an opportune time to snap up the fund.

It was recently recommended by analysts at BetaShares.

Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (ASX: VHY)

Finally, the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF could be a top addition if you're looking for a source of income.

It focuses on high-dividend-paying Australian shares, such as major banks, mining companies, and other established businesses with reliable cash flows.

This could make it a useful complement to growth-focused ETFs, adding stability to a portfolio.
