Why NDQ and these ASX ETFs could be buys in June

These ETFs stand out as top picks this month. Let's dig deeper into why that is the case.

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

They make investing easy, by removing the need to pick stocks and providing high levels of diversification.

But which ASX ETFs could be buys in June? Let's take a look at three that I think could be worth considering. They are as follows:

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The first ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.

This fund gives investors exposure to a group of companies that are deeply embedded in modern life. Its holdings include Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX).

What makes the fund interesting is how many different profit pools it touches. Devices, streaming, cloud computing, artificial intelligence (AI), digital advertising, software, ecommerce, and semiconductors are all represented in different ways.

That gives the fund more depth than a simple technology ETF label suggests. Some holdings are building the infrastructure behind AI. Others are monetising attention, entertainment, productivity, or digital ecosystems.

The fund can be volatile, particularly when investors become nervous about growth valuations. But over the long term, it offers a simple way to own many of the companies shaping how people live, work, shop, and communicate.

VanEck Morningstar International Wide Moat ETF (ASX: GOAT)

Another ASX ETF that could be worth a look is the VanEck Morningstar International Wide Moat ETF.

This fund is built around a disciplined idea. It looks for global companies that have lasting competitive advantages and are trading at attractive valuations.

Its holdings change periodically but currently include Novo Nordisk (CPH: NOVO B), Thales (FRA: CSF), and Nike (NYSE: NKE).

These businesses are not all exposed to the same trend. One is tied to global healthcare demand, another to defence and aerospace technology, and another to one of the world's most recognised consumer brands.

That variety is useful. The fund is not trying to make one big macro call. It is searching across global markets for companies that may be hard for competitors to dislodge, whether because of brand strength, intellectual property, scale, switching costs, or specialist expertise.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

A third ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.

The digital economy has created a permanent security problem. Every cloud migration, online payment, remote worker, connected device, and AI tool increases the number of systems that need protection.

This fund gives investors exposure to companies trying to solve that problem. Holdings include CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).

Cybersecurity spending is not just about avoiding inconvenience. For many businesses and governments, it is about protecting customer data, critical infrastructure, operations, and reputation.

The fund may still rise and fall with sentiment toward growth shares. But the underlying need for better digital defence looks unlikely to fade, which could make this ASX ETF a compelling long-term option.
