After a slow start to 2026, the ASX has found some momentum in recent months.
A more optimistic outlook for conflict in Iran, cooling inflation and halted interest rates are shifting market conditions back towards growth shares.
For investors looking to beat the market in the new financial year, there are several ASX ETFs that could be poised for strong growth.
Here are three I would be watching closely.

Betashares Global Robotics And AI ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
This ASX ETF invests in companies involved in industrial robotics and automation, non-industrial robots, humanoid technology, robotics-focused AI and unmanned vehicles and drones.
Artificial intelligence is becoming a bigger driver of the US economy than consumer spending, according to Nasdaq Chief Economist Phil Mackintosh.
Mackintosh said the extraordinary wave of investment in AI is reshaping both economic growth and financial markets.
We've kind of pivoted away from the consumer being the real driver of growth in the US economy. The consumer has been slowing in the US. What's been replacing it though is all the build-out of AI.
This bodes well for the future of ASX ETFs like this one from Betashares, which targets leading global companies involved in the production or use of robotics and robotics-focused AI products and services.
AI is largely underrepresented here in Australia, which makes this fund appealing to investors looking to capture the high growth potential from international companies.
Betashares S&P ASX Australian Technology ETF (ASX: ATEC)
Thanks to the large AI sell-off in early 2026, many Australian technology companies still remain undervalued.
This may have created a unique opportunity for growth investors that believe these shares can bounce back.
The ATEC fund remains down 28% over the last 12 months, but with headwinds easing, it could be a winner over the next 12 months.
This ASX ETF aims to track the performance of the S&P/ASX All Technology Index (before fees and expenses).
The Index provides exposure to leading ASX-listed companies in a range of tech-related market segments such as information technology, consumer electronics, online retail and medical technology.
Global X Fang+ ETF (ASX: FANG)
This fund from Global X is another high-growth opportunity.
It seeks to invest in companies at the leading edge of next-generation technology that includes household names and newcomers.
This includes companies in areas such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, digital advertising, ecommerce, electric vehicles, social media, and streaming.
All the underlying holdings are US-based, offering another option for investors seeking international diversification.
It has enjoyed strong momentum since late March, rising more than 20% in that span.
