Betashares has built a large range of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) for ASX investors.
Some are designed for broad market exposure, while others target more specific themes, sectors, or investment styles.
I think the best ones are those that can earn a place in a long-term portfolio.
With that in mind, here are three Betashares ETFs I would consider buying in July.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first ETF I would look at is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.
This fund gives investors exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq. In practice, that means a heavy weighting toward some of the world's most important technology and growth companies.
I like the NDQ ETF because many of its holdings sit inside long-term changes in the global economy. Cloud computing, artificial intelligence, digital advertising, software, semiconductors, streaming, online shopping, and cybersecurity are all areas where large US technology companies continue to play major roles.
That does not mean this fund is low risk. It can be volatile, particularly when investors become worried about interest rates or technology valuations.
But for long-term investors, I think it offers access to companies that have reshaped how people work, shop, communicate, and consume information. That makes it a top ETF to consider.
Betashares Australian Quality ETF (ASX: AQLT)
The next ETF I would consider is the Betashares Australian Quality ETF.
This fund is designed to provide exposure to Australian companies with quality characteristics, such as strong profitability, balance sheet strength, and earnings stability.
I think that can be useful because not all ASX shares are created equal.
Some businesses can generate strong returns through different parts of the cycle, while others are much more dependent on commodity prices, credit conditions, or short bursts of market enthusiasm.
A quality-focused ETF can help investors tilt their Australian exposure toward companies with stronger financial foundations.
That does not guarantee better returns every year. There will be periods when lower-quality or more cyclical shares perform better. But over the long term, I like the idea of owning businesses that have already shown signs of durability.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The third ETF I would consider is Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.
Cybersecurity is one of those areas where demand is unlikely to disappear. Businesses, governments, schools, hospitals, banks, and households keep shifting more activity online. That creates more data, more digital systems, and more potential points of attack.
Cybersecurity spending can therefore become less of a nice-to-have and more of a basic operating requirement.
The HACK ETF gives investors exposure to a group of global companies involved in protecting networks, devices, cloud systems, identities, and digital infrastructure.
The theme can still be volatile, and specialised ETFs can move sharply when sentiment changes. But I think cybersecurity has a long runway because the problem it addresses keeps becoming more important.
Foolish takeaway
I think the NDQ, AQLT, and HACK ETF are three Betashares ETFs worth considering.
What I like about this group is that each fund approaches long-term investing from a different angle. One leans into global growth, one filters the Australian market for quality, and one targets a security problem that keeps becoming more important.
None of them will be right for every investor, and all can have weak periods. But for those looking beyond the next few months, I think these could be some of the best Betashares ETFs to buy and hold.
