iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

The iShares S&P 500 ETF could be a strong option for investors wanting exposure to the US share market.

It tracks 500 of America's largest listed companies, including global leaders across technology, healthcare, financial services, and consumer goods.

This could make it a good foundation for a long-term investment portfolio.

Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF (ASX: VAS)

For investors wanting local exposure, the Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF could be worth considering.

It tracks the S&P/ASX 300 Index (ASX: XKO), giving investors access to a large collection of Australian stocks.

The fund also provides exposure to the dividends and potential franking credits that make Australian shares popular with income investors.

Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Shares Index ETF (ASX: VEU)

The Vanguard FTSE All-World ex-US Shares Index ETF offers exposure to companies outside the United States.

This includes developed and emerging markets across Europe, Asia, and other regions.

It could be particularly attractive for investors who already have significant US exposure and want to diversify internationally.

Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ASX ETF to watch is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.

This fund invests in 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange.

It offers exposure to businesses involved in artificial intelligence, cloud computing, software, digital advertising, and other major technology industries.

Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

The Betashares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be an exciting option for 2027.

It provides exposure to leading Asian technology companies across semiconductors, ecommerce, gaming, hardware, and digital platforms.

Asia's important position in the global technology industry and its enormous consumer markets could support growth over the long term.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Cybersecurity could remain a major investment theme in 2027.

The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF invests in companies helping businesses protect their networks, cloud systems, devices, and data.

As artificial intelligence and other technologies become more widely adopted, demand for cybersecurity services is likely to continue increasing.

Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (ASX: AINF)

Another technology-focused option is the Global X AI Infrastructure ETF.

This fund provides exposure to companies building the infrastructure needed to support artificial intelligence.

That includes semiconductors, data centre equipment, networking technology, electricity infrastructure, and cooling systems.

The enormous investment going into AI infrastructure could bode well for its holdings.

VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF (ASX: QUAL)

The VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF takes a different approach.

It invests in international companies with strong profitability, healthy balance sheets, and relatively stable earnings.

This could make it attractive for investors wanting exposure to financially strong businesses rather than broad market exposure.

VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

The VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF could also be worth watching.

It focuses on US companies believed to have sustainable competitive advantages and attractive valuations.

This approach could appeal to investors looking for quality businesses with the potential to compound earnings over many years.

Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF (ASX: CFLO)

Finally, the Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF could be an ASX ETF to consider for 2027. It offers exposure to companies generating strong free cash flow.

These businesses have greater flexibility to invest in growth, pay dividends, reduce debt, or repurchase shares.

That financial strength could be valuable as investors navigate whatever market conditions next year brings.
