If I had $10,000 to invest in Betashares exchange-traded funds (ETFs), I would want more than simple market exposure.
I would be looking for funds that give me access to different engines of long-term growth: global innovation, emerging economic scale, and local technology businesses trying to become much larger over time.
Here are three Betashares ETFs I would consider buying.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first ETF I would consider is one that gives investors exposure to some of the world's most powerful businesses.
The NDQ ETF tracks the Nasdaq 100, which means it allows investors to buy a portion of companies shaping how the digital economy works.
I like this ETF because many of its holdings are not just selling products. They are building systems that other businesses and consumers rely on every day.
Search, cloud computing, semiconductors, digital advertising, productivity software, streaming, e-commerce, payments, and artificial intelligence all sit inside the broader Nasdaq story.
That makes this Betashares ETF more than a simple technology ETF in my mind. It is a way to invest in companies that keep finding new ways to turn scale, data, software, and user attention into earnings.
Betashares India Quality ETF (ASX: IIND)
The second ETF I would look at is focused on a market that feels very different to the usual developed-market options.
The IIND ETF gives investors exposure to Indian companies with quality characteristics.
What interests me about India is not just population size. It is the combination of rising incomes, expanding digital infrastructure, formalisation of the economy, and increasing demand for financial services, healthcare, consumer goods, and technology.
India has a long runway if more households enter the middle class, more businesses move into the formal economy, and more spending shifts through digital channels.
I also like that this Betashares ETF has a quality filter. Emerging markets can be volatile, and not every fast-growing company creates value for shareholders. A quality-focused approach can help tilt the portfolio toward businesses with stronger financial foundations.
Betashares S&P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)
The final Betashares ETF I would consider is the most local of the three.
The ATEC ETF gives investors exposure to Australian technology companies.
I like this idea because Australia has produced some strong technology businesses, but they can be hard to pick individually. Some will disappoint, some may be acquired, and some may grow into much larger companies than investors expect. An ETF approach spreads that risk.
Its holdings include companies offering payments, logistics, accounting, real estate, data, software, and online marketplaces, which can all create value when they make customers faster, more efficient, or better informed.
Foolish takeaway
If I were investing $10,000 into Betashares ETFs, I would want the money working across different types of growth.
I like the idea of combining global digital leaders, India's long-term economic development, and Australian technology companies trying to scale.
That mix would not be smooth every year. But I think it gives investors exposure to areas of the market where change can create real wealth over time.
For patient investors, I think these three Betashares ETFs could be strong long-term buys.
