Want to invest for the next decade?
ASX exchange traded funds (ETFs) can be a simple way to get exposure to long-term trends without having to pick every individual winner yourself.
Here are three quality ASX ETFs that could be worth buying and holding until 2036 and were recently recommended by Betashares:

Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
The first ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF.
This fund gives investors exposure to companies involved in robotics, automation, artificial intelligence, and related technologies. Its holdings include ABB (SWX: ABBN), Keyence Corp (FRA: KEE), and NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA).
What makes this fund interesting is that it is not just about AI software. It also gives investors exposure to the physical side of automation.
Factories, warehouses, hospitals, logistics networks, and manufacturers are all looking for ways to become more efficient. Robotics and automation can help with labour shortages, productivity, safety, and precision.
That gives the fund a long runway if more businesses keep investing in machines, sensors, chips, and intelligent systems.
Betashares Video Games and Esports ETF (ASX: GAME)
Another ASX ETF that could be worth a closer look is the Betashares Video Games and Esports ETF.
This fund invests in global companies linked to video games and interactive entertainment. Its holdings include NetEase (NASDAQ: NTES), Take-Two Interactive (NASDAQ: TTWO), and Nintendo (FRA: NTO).
Gaming is no longer a small niche. It has become a major form of global entertainment, sitting alongside streaming, social media, sport, and film in the battle for consumer attention.
Nintendo is a useful example of the type of business this fund can own. It has some of the world's most recognisable gaming franchises, a loyal customer base, and a history of creating hardware and software ecosystems that keep players engaged.
Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)
A third ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF.
This fund focuses on global companies with strong quality characteristics. Its holdings currently include Lam Research (NASDAQ: LRCX), Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX), and Uber Technologies (NYSE: UBER).
This is a different type of long-term investment. Rather than targeting one specific theme, the fund looks for companies with strong financial profiles, including profitability, balance sheet strength, cash generation, and earnings stability.
Lam Research is a good example of the type of global business inside the portfolio. The company supplies equipment used in semiconductor manufacturing, which makes it important to the production of advanced chips.
That gives it exposure to demand from areas such as AI, cloud computing, smartphones, data centres, and industrial technology.
