June is almost here, and many investors may be wondering where to look for opportunities next.
ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a useful way to invest in major global trends without having to choose a single winner. That can be especially helpful in fast-moving sectors where leadership can change quickly.
Here are three incredible ASX ETFs that could be worth a closer look.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The first ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.
This fund gives Australian investors exposure to the technology companies powering Asia's digital economy. But the story is not just online shopping or social media.
Asia is home to some of the world's most important semiconductor, hardware, ecommerce, and internet platform businesses. Many sit inside the supply chains and consumer ecosystems that support artificial intelligence, mobile payments, cloud computing, gaming, and digital advertising.
Current holdings include SK Hynix, Samsung Electronics, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing (NYSE: TSM).
The fund can be volatile, particularly because sentiment toward Asian technology shares can shift quickly. But it gives investors access to a part of the global technology market that is very different from the US-heavy exposure many already own. It was recently recommended by the team at Betashares.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
Another ASX ETF that could be a buy in June is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.
Cybersecurity is becoming less like a technology upgrade and more like a permanent business cost. Every company moving workloads to the cloud, storing customer data, using artificial intelligence, or accepting digital payments has more to defend.
This fund provides exposure to companies building the tools that sit behind that defence. Its holdings include CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).
What makes this area interesting is that cyber threats do not stand still. As attacks become more sophisticated, businesses and governments need to keep upgrading their protection.
That creates a long-term demand backdrop for security software, network protection, cloud security, and identity management. The fund will still move with growth-stock sentiment, but the need it serves is unlikely to fade.
Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
A third ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.
This fund provides exposure to many of the companies shaping how people work, shop, communicate, advertise, create, and consume entertainment.
Current holdings include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOGL).
What makes the fund powerful is the breadth of profit pools it touches. Artificial intelligence is one part of the story, but so are cloud infrastructure, digital advertising, software, ecommerce, semiconductors, and consumer platforms.
This bodes well for the ETF over the next decade, which could make it a great buy and hold pick.
