Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

The first ASX ETF to look at is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.

This popular fund provides exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq stock exchange, giving investors access to some of the world's most innovative businesses.

Its holdings include technology giants such as Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL).

These companies are leaders in industries that could enjoy significant growth over the next decade, including artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services.

And while technology shares can experience considerable volatility, the long-term opportunities remain compelling.

With artificial intelligence (AI) adoption still in its early stages and businesses continuing to invest heavily in technology, the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF looks well-placed to benefit from some of the biggest structural growth trends in the global economy.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

Another ASX ETF that could be a great long-term investment is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.

This fund provides investors with exposure to approximately 1,300 stocks across developed markets, including the United States, Europe, and Japan.

This could make it an excellent option for investors wanting to diversify their portfolios beyond the Australian share market.

While its portfolio has significant exposure to US technology companies, it also includes businesses operating in healthcare, financial services, industrials, and consumer goods.

This combination of diversification and exposure to global earnings growth arguably makes the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF an attractive foundation for a long-term investment portfolio.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

A final ASX ETF that could be worth buying is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.

Cybersecurity has become an essential investment for businesses and governments as cyberattacks grow increasingly sophisticated and costly.

And with AI creating new threats alongside new opportunities, demand for advanced cybersecurity solutions could continue growing strongly over the coming decade.

The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers exposure to companies at the forefront of this industry, including Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW), CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), and Fortinet (NASDAQ: FTNT).

These businesses provide the technology that organisations rely on to protect their networks, applications, and sensitive information.

Although cybersecurity shares can command high valuations and experience considerable volatility, the industry's long-term growth prospects remain attractive.

As a result, for investors willing to accept these risks, the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF could be a rewarding addition to a diversified portfolio.
