<p>There are more and more thematic ASX ETFs becoming available to investors. </p>



<p>When these targeted themes rally, investors can capture market-beating returns. </p>



<p>However, on the flip side, when these sectors face headwinds, losses can also be amplified. </p>



<p>Due to <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/04/09/why-did-the-iran-war-smash-the-gold-price/">geopolitical tension</a>, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/31/westpac-warns-the-rba-may-need-to-hike-rates-again/">rising interest rates</a>, and other economic factors, sectors like <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/category/sector/healthcare-shares/">healthcare</a> and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/category/sector/tech-shares/">technology</a> have been heavily sold off in 2026.  </p>



<p>There are several ASX ETFs that target these sectors.&nbsp;</p>



<p>After falling significantly this year, let's look at funds that could be undervalued right now.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-morningstar-global-technology-etf-asx-tech">Morningstar Global Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tech/">ASX: TECH</a>)</h2>



<p>This ASX ETF seeks to invest in companies well-positioned to benefit from increased technology adoption. </p>



<p>This includes companies whose principal business is in offering computing Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and/or cloud and edge computing infrastructure and hardware.</p>



<p>At the time of writing, it includes 38 holdings, with a 60% exposure to US-based companies. </p>



<p>So far in 2026, it has fallen 14%.&nbsp;</p>



<p>However, it appears it has slowly started to turn the corner, recovering 8% during April. </p>



<p>It may suit investors who are confident of a global tech rebound in the back half of 2026.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-global-cybersecurity-etf-asx-hack">BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hack/">ASX: HACK</a>)</h2>



<p>It has been a similar story in 2026 for this ASX ETF.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The fund aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) that provides exposure to the leading companies in the global cybersecurity sector.</p>



<p>It is down 16% so far in 2026, however has also rebounded in April, rising 5% just this week.&nbsp;</p>



<p>At the time of writing, the fund includes 42 holdings, with 90% of its weighting towards US-based companies. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-s-amp-p-asx-australian-technology-etf-asx-atec">Betashares S&amp;P ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>



<p>Moving towards Australian technology, this ASX ETF is surging today, up 4%. </p>



<p>It still has a long way to go to recover the losses of 2026, as the fund remains down 16% since the start of the year.&nbsp;</p>



<p>As the name suggests, it provides exposure to leading ASX-listed companies across a range of tech-related market segments, including information technology, consumer electronics, online retail, and medical technology.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-vaneck-vectors-global-health-leaders-etf-asx-hlth">Vaneck Vectors Global Health Leaders ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hlth/">ASX: HLTH</a>)</h2>



<p>Moving to healthcare, this ASX ETF focuses on the largest international companies from the global healthcare sector.</p>



<p>It includes 50 underlying holdings with a 60% weighting towards US-based companies. </p>



<p>In 2026, it has fallen almost 7%, but has also begun to rebound from late March.&nbsp;</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are looking to take your portfolio to the next level, it may be time to think beyond traditional sectors.</p>
<p>Some of the most exciting opportunities in the market today are being driven by global technology, automation, and cybersecurity trends. The good news is that ASX exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) make it easy to access these themes in a single trade.</p>
<p>Here are five ASX ETFs that could supercharge your portfolio.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-asia/">ASX: ASIA</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that could add serious growth potential is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides exposure to leading <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a> companies across Asia, a region that continues to digitise rapidly.</p>
<p>Its holdings include <strong>Tencent Holdings</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/sehk-700/">SEHK: 700</a>), <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-tsm/">NYSE: TSM</a>), and <strong>Alibaba Group</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-baba/">NYSE: BABA</a>).</p>
<p>What makes this fund compelling is its exposure to markets that are still in earlier stages of digital adoption compared to the US, which could translate into strong long-term growth.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rbtz/">ASX: RBTZ</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could boost returns is the BetaShares Global Robotics and Artificial Intelligence ETF.</p>
<p>This ETF targets companies at the forefront of automation and AI, industries that are transforming how businesses operate.</p>
<p>Key holdings include <strong>NVIDIA</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>), <strong>Intuitive Surgical</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-isrg/">NASDAQ: ISRG</a>), and <strong>Keyence</strong>.</p>
<p>Rather than focusing on a single niche, this ETF spreads exposure across multiple applications of AI and robotics, giving it a broad growth runway. It was recently recommended by the team at Betashares.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>A third ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides exposure to Australia's leading technology companies, offering a way to back local innovation.</p>
<p>Its holdings include <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>).</p>
<p>This ETF gives investors access to businesses that are growing both domestically and internationally, with scalable models and strong long-term potential. It was also recently recommended by the team at Betashares.</p>
<h2><strong>VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-qual/">ASX: QUAL</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could strengthen a portfolio is the VanEck MSCI International Quality ETF.</p>
<p>It focuses on high-quality global companies with strong balance sheets, stable earnings, and competitive advantages.</p>
<p>Its holdings include <strong>Apple</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-aapl/">NASDAQ: AAPL</a>), <strong>Microsoft</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-msft/">NASDAQ: MSFT</a>), and <strong>Visa</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-v/">NYSE: V</a>).</p>
<p>This focus on quality helps balance out more aggressive growth exposures, providing a layer of resilience while still offering solid long-term returns. It was recently recommended by the team at VanEck.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hack/">ASX: HACK</a>)</h2>
<p>A fifth ASX ETF that could round out a portfolio is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF.</p>
<p>This fund targets companies involved in cybersecurity, an area that is becoming increasingly critical as digital threats continue to rise.</p>
<p>Key holdings include <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-crwd/">NASDAQ: CRWD</a>), <strong>Palo Alto Networks</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-panw/">NASDAQ: PANW</a>), and <strong>Zscaler</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-zs/">NASDAQ: ZS</a>).</p>
<p>As businesses and governments invest more heavily in protecting data and systems, demand for cybersecurity solutions is expected to grow.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Tech has been hit hard. Valuations have reset. Sentiment has swung from extreme optimism to caution in a matter of months. ASX tech ETFs have also experienced serious losses. But that's often when long-term investors start looking closer.</p>



<p>Because while share prices fall, the structural story behind technology keeps moving forward. </p>



<p>If you want exposure to the rebound without picking individual winners, three ASX-listed ETFs stand out right now. Each fund offers a different way to play tech, from local disruptors to US giants and globally diversified quality. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-s-amp-p-asx-australian-technology-etf-asx-atec"><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>



<p>Start with Australia's innovation story via this BetaShares ASX <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">exchange-traded fund</a> (ETF).</p>



<p>This ASX ETF gives direct exposure to local tech leaders such as <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>) and <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>). These are not speculative startups anymore. They are scaled, profitable businesses with recurring revenue models and expanding global footprints.</p>



<p>ATEC has been dragged down by the broader tech sell-off, down 37% over the past 6 months, but the underlying companies continue to execute. If Australian tech sentiment turns, this ETF offers concentrated upside.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-global-quality-leaders-etf-asx-qlty"><strong>BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-qlty/">ASX: QLTY</a>)</h2>



<p>Then there's the global "quality tech" approach, where this ASX ETF stands out.</p>



<p>This ETF doesn't chase hype or concentrate heavily in one sector. Instead, it targets high-quality global companies with strong balance sheets, high profitability, and stable earnings. That naturally brings in global tech giants like <strong>Microsoft Corp</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-msft/">NASDAQ: MSFT</a>) and <strong>Alphabet Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-goog/">NASDAQ: GOOG</a>), but within a broader diversified portfolio.</p>



<p>The key appeal here is balance. You still get exposure to the core drivers of global tech, cloud computing, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence</a>, and digital platforms, but with less <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a> than pure growth-focused ETFs. Microsoft and Alphabet remain central to the innovation story, yet QLTY wraps them in a more disciplined, valuation-aware framework that also includes other resilient global leaders.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-nasdaq-100-etf-asx-ndq"><strong>BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ndq/">ASX: NDQ</a>)</h2>



<p>Finally, for concentrated US tech exposure, there's the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF.</p>



<p>This is the heavy hitter. This ASX ETF tracks the Nasdaq 100 and gives investors direct exposure to the world's most influential technology companies, including <strong>Apple Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-aapl/">NASDAQ: AAPL</a>) and Microsoft. These businesses sit at the centre of global digital infrastructure and continue to reinvest heavily into AI, cloud computing, and ecosystem expansion.</p>



<p>This fund has been through a sharp correction phase, driven by higher interest rates and stretched valuations. But the long-term growth drivers remain intact. These are companies with scale advantages that are difficult to replicate and global demand that continues to expand.</p>



<p>Importantly, NDQ also provides modest distributions, offering some income alongside capital growth potential.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway">Foolish Takeaway</h2>



<p>What ties all three ASX ETFs together is timing. Each has been caught in the same broad tech sell-off driven by rate hikes, valuation compression, and AI disruption fears. But underneath the noise, the fundamentals haven't broken.</p>



<p>Innovation is still accelerating. Cloud adoption is still expanding. And AI is more likely to reshape demand than destroy it.</p>



<p>For investors willing to look through short-term volatility, these ETFs offer three different ways to capture the same long-term theme.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Investing in your 30s is all about time and opportunity. With decades ahead before <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/retirement-guide/">retirement</a>, investors are in a strong position to prioritise growth and let compounding do the heavy lifting. That often means leaning into higher-growth areas of the market and accepting some volatility along the way.</p>
<p>ASX exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) make this easy, offering access to powerful long-term trends through a single investment.</p>
<p>Here are three ASX ETFs that could be well suited for investors in their 30s.</p>
<h2><strong>Global X FANG+ ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-fang/">ASX: FANG</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that could be a top pick is the Global X FANG+ ETF.</p>
<p>This fund takes a concentrated approach, investing in a small group of global technology and innovation leaders. Its holdings include companies like <strong>NVIDIA</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>), <strong>Amazon</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-amzn/">NASDAQ: AMZN</a>), and <strong>Tesla</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-tsla/">NASDAQ: TSLA</a>).</p>
<p>Rather than spreading exposure broadly, this fund leans heavily into the businesses shaping the future of the global economy.</p>
<p>For investors in their 30s, this kind of exposure can be powerful. These companies are at the forefront of trends such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital transformation.</p>
<p>While the ETF can be volatile, its growth potential over the long term could be significant if these trends continue to play out. It was recently <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/04/02/bell-potter-names-2-of-the-best-asx-etfs-to-buy-now/">recommended</a> by analysts at Bell Potter.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-asia/">ASX: ASIA</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides exposure to leading technology companies across Asia, including names like <strong>Tencent</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/sehk-700/">SEHK: 700</a>), <strong>Alibaba</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-baba/">NYSE: BABA</a>), and <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-tsm/">NYSE: TSM</a>).</p>
<p>This is important because much of the world's future growth is expected to come from Asia.</p>
<p>For investors in their 30s, adding exposure beyond Australia and the United States can help diversify growth opportunities. The region is home to rapidly expanding digital economies, rising middle classes, and increasing technology adoption.</p>
<p>While there are risks, including regulatory uncertainty, the long-term growth story remains compelling. It was recently recommended by the team at BetaShares.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>A third ASX ETF that could be a strong option is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund offers exposure to Australia's leading technology companies, including <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>).</p>
<p>While the Australian tech sector is smaller than its global peers, it has produced a number of high-quality, globally competitive businesses.</p>
<p>For investors in their 30s, the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF provides a way to back local innovation and growth stories. It also adds a different dynamic to a portfolio that may already be heavily weighted toward international tech. It was also recommended by BetaShares recently.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Recent market <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a> has hit growth-focused investments particularly hard.</p>
<p>Concerns that artificial intelligence (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">AI</a>) could disrupt existing business models have weighed heavily on a number of sectors, especially technology.</p>
<p>But for long-term investors, this pullback could be creating opportunities to buy into powerful themes at more attractive prices.</p>
<p>Here are three ASX ETFs that have fallen sharply and could be worth considering.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that could be a buy is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund has fallen around 40% from its highs as investors reassess the outlook for software and technology companies in a world increasingly shaped by AI.</p>
<p>Its holdings include <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>).</p>
<p>While some fear AI could lower barriers to entry, these companies already have large customer bases, deep integrations, and strong recurring revenue models.</p>
<p>If anything, AI could enhance their offerings and strengthen their competitive positions over time. Betashares recently recommended this fund.</p>
<h2><strong>VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-espo/">ASX: ESPO</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF.</p>
<p>This fund is down approximately 30% from its highs, reflecting concerns about both consumer spending and the impact of AI on gaming and digital content.</p>
<p>It provides exposure to companies such as <strong>NVIDIA</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>), <strong>Tencent</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/sehk-700/">SEHK: 700</a>), and <strong>Nintendo</strong>.</p>
<p>NVIDIA stands out as a key holding in this fund. While it is well known for gaming, its chips are also central to AI infrastructure, giving it exposure to multiple growth drivers.</p>
<p>The broader gaming industry continues to expand globally, supported by mobile adoption, esports, and digital distribution. This fund was recently recommended to investors by the team at VanEck.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares India Quality ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-iind/">ASX: IIND</a>)</h2>
<p>A third ASX ETF that could be a compelling option is the BetaShares India Quality ETF.</p>
<p>This fund has dropped around 22% amid concerns that AI could disrupt outsourcing and IT services, which are important parts of India's economy.</p>
<p>Its holdings include companies such as <strong>Infosys</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-infy/">NYSE: INFY</a>), <strong>Tata Consultancy Services</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nsei-tcs/">NSEI: TCS</a>), and <strong>HDFC Bank</strong>.</p>
<p>Infosys is a good example. It provides IT consulting and outsourcing services to global businesses, helping them manage and modernise their technology systems.</p>
<p>While AI may change how services are delivered, it is also likely to increase demand for digital transformation, which could benefit companies in this space.</p>
<p>With India's economy continuing to grow and modernise, this ETF offers exposure to a large and expanding market. This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/04/07/asx-200-surging-as-investors-look-beyond-iran-war/">share market is rallying</a> on Tuesday, with the <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Index </strong>(ASX: XJO) lifting 2.6% to an intraday high of 8,804 points.</p>



<p>It appears investors are buying the dip after the ASX 200 dropped 7.8% in March, creating some value buying opportunities.</p>



<p>Many <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> are also rising today.</p>



<p>For example, the market's largest ETF, the <strong>Vanguard Australian Shares Index ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-vas/">ASX: VAS</a>) is up 1.3% to $107.58 apiece. </p>



<p>Australian investors love their ETFs.</p>



<p>The latest data shows we have ploughed a record $333 billion into the 426 exchange-traded funds on the market today.</p>



<p>If you're considering buying ETFs amid today's market rally, here are three recommended by experts.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="buy_betashares_global_uranium_etf_urnm">Betashares Global Uranium ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-urnm/">ASX: URNM</a>)</h2>



<p>The URNM ETF is $12.07 apiece, down 0.33% today, but up 105% over the past 12 months. </p>



<p>On <em><a href="https://thebull.com.au/18-share-tips/18-share-tips-6th-april-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bull</a></em> this week, Michael Gable from Fairmont Equities explained his buy rating on this ASX ETF. </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>URNM stock rose from $6.34 on April 3, 2025 to $15.24 on January 29, 2026. </p>



<p>The recent dip provides investors with another buying opportunity. </p>



<p>We expect demand for uranium to exceed supply in the years ahead, particularly as countries diversify their energy sources away from fossil fuels.</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-s-amp-p-asx-australian-technology-etf-asx-atec"><strong>Betashares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The ATEC ETF is $19.92 apiece, up 2.3% today and down 15% over 12 months. </p>



<p>On <em><a href="https://thebull.com.au/18-share-tips/30th-march-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bull</a></em> last week, Blake Halligan from Catapult Wealth revealed a buy rating on this ETF.</p>



<p>Halligan said ATEC had experienced a material pullback alongside the <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/17/why-are-asx-200-tech-shares-down-43-in-six-months/">broader tech sector</a> due to fears over <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>.</p>



<p>This has created an attractive entry point for long term investors. </p>



<p>Halligan said: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Share prices in several of its key constituents, including <strong>Xero Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), <strong>Pro Medicus Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-pme/">ASX: PME</a>) and <strong>REA Group Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-rea/">ASX: REA</a>), have fallen significantly despite stable earnings trajectories and ongoing revenue growth across the sector. </p>



<p>Market concerns surrounding artificial intelligence disruption appear overdone, in my view, particularly given the high costs of switching software platforms. </p>



<p>Despite weaker sentiment, fundamentals are largely intact. </p>



<p>In our view, an appealing opportunity exits to gain exposure to high quality Australian technology names through ATEC.</p>
</blockquote>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="buy_munro_global_growth_fund_complex_etf_maet"><strong>Munro Global Growth Fund Complex ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-maet/">ASX: MAET</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The MAET ETF is $5.94 apiece, up 0.2% today and down 2.5% over 12 months. </p>



<p>Last month on <em><a href="https://thebull.com.au/18-share-tips/23rd-march-2026/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">The Bull</a></em>, Andrew Wielandt from DP Wealth Advisory gave a buy recommendation on this ASX ETF. </p>



<p>Wielandt said: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p>Funds under management, including it's unlisted managed fund, exceed $1 billion. </p>



<p>This exchange traded fund focuses on global companies involved in high performance computing, digital enterprise, climate, innovative health and security.</p>



<p>Also, the ETF focuses on capital preservation. </p>



<p>During the past five years, the fund has returned 9.1 per cent per annum. </p>



<p>I hold MAET in my self managed super fund. I like the fund's historical record and outlook.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Getting started in the share market does not require picking individual winners straight away.</p>
<p>Many investors choose to begin with exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>), which can provide instant diversification and exposure to some of the world's strongest businesses and growth trends. With just a few investments, it is possible to build a solid foundation for long-term wealth.</p>
<p>Here are three ASX ETFs that could be great options for those starting out in 2026.</p>
<h2>iShares S&amp;P 500 ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ivv/">ASX: IVV</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that could be a strong starting point is the iShares S&amp;P 500 ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides exposure to 500 of the largest companies listed in the United States, covering a broad mix of industries including technology, healthcare, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/financial-shares/">financials</a>, and consumer goods.</p>
<p>What makes this ETF appealing is its simplicity. By tracking a widely followed index, it gives investors access to many of the world's most established and profitable businesses in a single investment.</p>
<p>Over time, these companies have demonstrated an ability to grow earnings and adapt to changing conditions, which has supported strong long-term returns.</p>
<h2>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund focuses on leading technology companies listed on the ASX, offering exposure to businesses driving digital transformation across industries.</p>
<p>Its holdings include names such as <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>), all of which benefit from recurring revenue and scalable platforms.</p>
<p>For investors looking to add a growth tilt to their portfolio, the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF provides targeted exposure to Australia's technology sector in a single trade. It was recently recommended by analysts at BetaShares.</p>
<h2>Global X FANG+ ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-fang/">ASX: FANG</a>)</h2>
<p>A third ASX ETF that could be a compelling option is the Global X FANG+ ETF.</p>
<p>This ETF takes a more concentrated approach, investing in a small group of global technology and innovation leaders. Its portfolio includes companies such as <strong>NVIDIA Corporation</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>), <strong>Amazon.com Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-amzn/">NASDAQ: AMZN</a>), and <strong>Palantir Technologies Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-pltr/">NASDAQ: PLTR</a>).</p>
<p>These businesses are at the forefront of major trends such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and automation.</p>
<p>While the Global X FANG+ ETF can be more volatile than broader market funds, it offers exposure to companies with significant growth potential. For investors with a long-term mindset, that could make it an interesting addition alongside more diversified holdings. Bell Potter recently recommended this fund to clients.</p>

<p>After a tough stretch driven by war in the Middle East, higher interest rates, AI concerns, and valuation de-ratings, investors are beginning to look ahead again.</p>
<p>As conditions stabilise and confidence returns, the tech sector has historically been one of the first to rebound.</p>
<p>Importantly, many technology stocks and tech-focused exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) are still trading below their previous highs. That could create an opportunity for investors who are willing to take a longer-term view.</p>
<p>Here are three ASX ETFs that could be worth buying for a potential tech rebound.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-asia/">ASX: ASIA</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF to consider for the tech rebound is the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides investors with exposure to some of the largest and most influential technology companies across Asia. But what makes it particularly interesting right now is how differently these businesses operate compared to their Western peers.</p>
<p>Many Asian tech companies have built integrated ecosystems that combine payments, ecommerce, entertainment, and social platforms into a single experience. This creates strong user engagement and multiple revenue streams within the same platform.</p>
<p>While sentiment towards the region has been volatile, the long-term drivers remain intact. Digital adoption continues to rise, and large populations are becoming increasingly connected. This bodes well for its holdings, which include WeChat owner <strong>Tencent</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/sehk-700/">SEHK: 700</a>) and Temu owner <strong>PDD Holdings</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-pdd/">NASDAQ: PDD</a>). This fund was recently recommended by analysts at BetaShares.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be a top pick for the tech rebound is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund focuses on Australian technology shares, offering exposure to a mix of software, platforms, and digital infrastructure businesses.</p>
<p>What makes this ETF interesting is that many of its holdings are still in earlier stages of their growth journeys compared to global giants. This can mean higher volatility, but also greater upside if conditions improve. This includes <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>) and <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>).</p>
<p>For investors wanting exposure to local tech innovation, this ETF provides a direct way to access that opportunity. It was recently <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/30/forget-cba-shares-and-buy-this-asx-etf-experts/">recommended</a> by a number of analysts at Catapult Wealth.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ndq/">ASX: NDQ</a>)</strong></h2>
<p>A third ASX ETF to consider for the tech rebound is the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF.</p>
<p>It gives investors exposure to the Nasdaq 100, which includes many of the world's leading technology and growth companies.</p>
<p>What stands out here is the scale and profitability of these businesses. Unlike earlier-stage tech companies, many Nasdaq leaders generate significant cash flow and have entrenched positions in global markets.</p>
<p>These companies are also at the centre of major trends such as artificial intelligence, cloud computing, and digital services. As these themes continue to evolve, they could drive the next phase of growth.</p>
<p>With sentiment improving and valuations having reset from previous highs, the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF offers a way to invest in global tech leaders as the sector looks to rebound.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Commonwealth Bank of Australia</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cba/">ASX: CBA</a>) shares are a popular option for investors.</p>
<p>It isn't hard to see why this is the case.</p>
<p>Australia's largest bank is widely regarded as one of the highest quality banks in the world.</p>
<p>In addition, CBA shares have a strong track record of delivering outsized returns for investors.</p>
<p>But right now, according to <em>The Bull</em>, experts think investors should be taking profit and putting their money into a beaten down exchange traded fund (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETF</a>).</p>
<p>Let's see what it is recommending.</p>
<h2>Sell CBA shares</h2>
<p>Sanlam Private Wealth fears that higher interest rates could impact credit growth for CBA.</p>
<p>And given its premium valuation, it thinks this could make it a good time to reduce exposure to the bank. It explains:</p>
<p>The bank is a quality company and a staple in investor portfolios. It has established a strong track record of performance over many years. The company delivered a 5 per cent increase in statutory net profit after tax in the first half of fiscal year 2026. However, the dividend yield was trading below 3 per cent on March 26, so better income is available elsewhere.</p>
<p>The conflict in Iran suggests a possibly slowing global economy likely to impact credit growth in Australia's higher interest rate environment. CBA is trading at a premium to peers, so it may be time to consider reducing exposure in this volatile environment.</p>
<h2>Buy this ASX ETF</h2>
<p>Catapult Wealth is very positive on the <strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>) after a heavy share price decline.</p>
<p>This week, the wealth management firm named the tech-focused fund as a buy. It thinks artificial intelligence (AI) disruption fears are overdone, explaining:</p>
<blockquote><p>This exchange traded fund invests in Australian technology companies. ATEC has experienced a material pullback alongside the broader Australian technology sector, creating an attractive entry point for long term investors. Share prices in several of its key constituents, including Xero, WiseTech Global, Pro Medicus and REA Group, have fallen significantly despite stable earnings trajectories and ongoing revenue growth across the sector.</p>
<p>Market concerns surrounding artificial intelligence disruption appear overdone, in my view, particularly given the high costs of switching software platforms. Despite weaker sentiment, fundamentals are largely intact. In our view, an appealing opportunity exists to gain exposure to high quality Australian technology names through ATEC.</p></blockquote>

<p>Putting a lump sum like $50,000 to work can feel like a big decision, especially when there are so many different directions you can go.</p>



<p>For me, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> are a straightforward way to build a diversified portfolio without having to rely on picking individual stocks. </p>



<p>The key is combining broad exposure with a few targeted themes that could drive returns over time.</p>



<p>Here's why I'd be thinking about allocating that capital evenly across these five ETFs today.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-vanguard-ftse-asia-ex-japan-shares-index-etf-asx-vae"><strong>Vanguard FTSE Asia Ex-Japan Shares Index ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-vae/">ASX: VAE</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>I'd start by making sure I have exposure to Asia. The Vanguard FTSE Asia Ex-Japan Shares Index ETF gives access to major economies like China, India, Taiwan, and South Korea. These regions are home to some of the fastest-growing economies in the world, and I think that long-term growth is hard to ignore.</p>



<p>There will always be volatility here, especially with geopolitical tensions and policy uncertainty. But over time, I think rising middle classes, urbanisation, and technological development could drive strong economic expansion.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>iShares Global 100 AUD ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ioo/">ASX: IOO</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>For global blue-chip exposure, I'd look at the iShares Global 100 AUD ETF.</p>



<p>This ASX ETF holds some of the largest and most established companies in the world. These are businesses with strong <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/understanding-balance-sheets-and-pl-statements/">balance sheets</a>, global reach, and proven earnings power.</p>



<p>I like this as a core holding because it provides stability and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/portfolio-diversification/">diversification</a> across industries and geographies. It's not about chasing the fastest growth, but about owning high-quality companies that can compound over time.</p>



<p>In a volatile environment, I think having that kind of foundation is important.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Betashares Australian Quality ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-aqlt/">ASX: AQLT</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Closer to home, I'd want exposure to high-quality ASX shares.</p>



<p>The Betashares Australian Quality ETF focuses on businesses with strong <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/return-on-equity-roe/">returns on equity</a>, solid balance sheets, and consistent earnings. In my view, those characteristics tend to hold up better during uncertain periods.</p>



<p>Rather than simply tracking the broader market, this ETF leans into quality, which I think can make a difference over the long term.</p>



<p>It also complements global exposure by ensuring part of the portfolio is invested in Australian companies with strong fundamentals.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>For growth, I'd include the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>



<p>This ASX ETF provides exposure to a range of ASX-listed tech shares, including names that have been sold off heavily in recent periods. That volatility can be uncomfortable, but it can also create opportunities.</p>



<p>I think technology remains a key driver of long-term economic growth, and having some exposure to that theme makes sense. The businesses in this ETF won't all succeed, but the sector itself is likely to keep evolving and expanding.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>VanEck Global Defence ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-dfnd/">ASX: DFND</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>Finally, I'd include a thematic allocation to defence through the VanEck Global Defence ETF.</p>



<p>With geopolitical tensions remaining elevated, defence spending is increasing across many parts of the world. That's not a short-term trend in my view, but something that could persist for years.</p>



<p>This ETF provides exposure to companies involved in defence and security, which are benefiting from that shift in government spending.</p>



<p>It's a more specialised investment, but I think it adds diversification and taps into a structural trend that isn't closely tied to typical economic cycles.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Foolish takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>This kind of $50,000 ETF portfolio blends broad market exposure with a handful of targeted growth themes.</p>



<p>There will be periods where some parts lag, particularly higher-growth areas like technology or emerging markets. But over time, I think this mix gives a solid foundation while still leaving room for stronger returns if those themes play out.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>The first quarter of 2026 hasn't been kind to investors. </p>



<p>Markets have pulled back, sentiment has weakened, and a lot of growth-focused assets have come under pressure.</p>



<p>That doesn't feel great in the moment. But it can create an interesting setup. </p>



<p>Because when markets do eventually stabilise and rebound, it's often the higher-quality growth exposures that lead the way.</p>



<p>With that in mind, here are three ASX <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">exchange-traded funds (ETFs)</a> I'd be looking at right now. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ishares-global-100-etf-asx-ioo"><strong>iShares Global 100 ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ioo/">ASX: IOO</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The iShares Global 100 ETF provides exposure to some of the largest and most dominant companies worldwide.</p>



<p>We're talking about global leaders across <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a>, healthcare, consumer goods, and financials. These are businesses with strong balance sheets, global reach, and proven earnings power. </p>



<p>What I like about the IOO ETF is that it doesn't try to be too clever.</p>



<p>It simply gives you access to a concentrated group of high-quality global companies that have historically performed well over time.</p>



<p>In a rebound scenario, I think these businesses are well-positioned to recover strongly, especially as confidence returns to global markets. </p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ndq/">ASX: NDQ</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF is a more growth-focused option.</p>



<p>It tracks the Nasdaq 100, which is heavily weighted toward technology and innovation-driven companies.</p>



<p>This is typically one of the more <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatile</a> parts of the market. When sentiment turns negative, the NDQ ETF tends to fall harder. But when conditions improve, it can also rebound quickly. </p>



<p>That's why I think it's worth considering at times like this.</p>



<p>If the market does turn, exposure to sectors like <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>, cloud computing, and digital platforms could be a major driver of returns.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Betashares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</strong></h2>



<p>The Betashares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF offers a more local angle on the same theme.</p>



<p>It provides exposure to Australian technology companies, including names involved in software, payments, and digital services.</p>



<p>These stocks have been hit particularly hard during the recent sell-off, with many trading well below their previous highs.</p>



<p>That can create a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/understanding-risk-vs-reward/">higher-risk, higher-reward</a> setup.</p>



<p>If sentiment improves and investors rotate back into growth, the ATEC ETF could benefit as capital flows return to the sector.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-foolish-takeaway"><strong>Foolish Takeaway</strong></h2>



<p>Market pullbacks are never comfortable, but they can create opportunities.</p>



<p>The IOO ETF offers global quality, the NDQ ETF provides exposure to high-growth innovation, and the ATEC ETF adds a more aggressive local tech angle. </p>



<p>They're not guaranteed to rebound quickly, and volatility could continue in the short term.</p>



<p>But if markets do recover from here, I think these are the types of ETFs that could be well-positioned to move higher.</p>

<p>In light of this, there's no shortage of options for Australian investors to choose from.</p>
<p>To narrow things down, let's see what one analyst is recommending this week, courtesy of <em>The Bull</em>. Here's what you need to know:</p>
<h2><strong>Munro Global Growth Fund Complex ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-maet/">ASX: MAET</a>)</h2>
<p>DP Wealth Advisory is positive on the Munro Global Growth Fund Complex ETF.</p>
<p>It aims to smooth the investment journey through utilising capital preservation tools such as increased cash levels, shorts, put options, currency hedging, and equity exposure management. It gives investors access to an actively managed portfolio of 30-50 global growth stocks.</p>
<p>The advisory firm notes that it has a strong track record and positive outlook. It explains:</p>
<blockquote><p>Funds under management, including its unlisted managed fund, exceed $1 billion. This exchange traded fund focuses on global companies involved in high performance computing, digital enterprise, climate, innovative health and security.</p>
<p>Also, the ETF focuses on capital preservation. Main investments in its February 2026 report included Nvidia, TSMC, Amazon and Alphabet. During the past five years, the fund has returned 9.1 per cent per annum. I hold MAET in my self managed super fund. I like the fund's historical record and outlook.</p></blockquote>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that DP Wealth Advisory is positive on is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund provides investors with access to a group of Australian tech shares, including <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>) and <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>).</p>
<p>With ASX tech shares down heavily over the past 12 months, dragging this ETF down with them, DP Wealth Advisory appears to see now as an opportune time for investors to initiate a position in the fund.</p>
<p>Commenting on the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF, its analyst said:</p>
<blockquote><p>This exchange traded fund invests in Australian <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a> companies. Across global exchanges, technology companies have been under pressure in response to the interruption and impact of artificial intelligence.</p>
<p>Companies held in this ETF include Computershare, WiseTech Global and Xero. Performance has been sub-optimal in the past 12 months, but has returned more than 9 per cent per annum in the past three years. ATEC had net assets of more than $483 million at March 18, 2026. An opportunity exists on a weaker share price and potentially improving technology stocks moving forward.</p></blockquote>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you are building a growth-focused portfolio, adding exposure to high-potential sectors can make a big difference over time.</p>
<p>An easy way to do this is with exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>), which allow you to buy large groups of shares with a single investment.</p>
<p>With that in mind, here are three exciting ASX ETFs that could appeal to Aussie growth investors.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cryp/">ASX: CRYP</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that offers exposure to a high-growth and emerging sector is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF.</p>
<p>This fund doesn't invest directly in <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/cryptocurrency/">cryptocurrencies</a>. Instead, it provides exposure to companies operating in the digital asset ecosystem. This includes crypto exchanges, mining firms, and businesses building blockchain infrastructure.</p>
<p>The appeal here is the potential for significant long-term growth as digital assets continue to evolve and gain broader acceptance. While the sector can be very volatile, it also represents one of the most disruptive areas of finance and technology.</p>
<p>For investors with a higher risk tolerance, this ETF offers a way to participate in the growth of the crypto economy without needing to buy and store digital currencies directly.</p>
<h2><strong>VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-espo/">ASX: ESPO</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF tapping into a global growth trend is the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF.</p>
<p>Gaming is no longer a niche hobby. It is a massive global industry with billions of players and rapidly growing revenues across mobile, console, and online platforms.</p>
<p>This ETF provides exposure to companies involved in game development, hardware, and esports. These businesses benefit from increasing digital consumption, the rise of online communities, and ongoing technological advancements.</p>
<p>What makes this theme compelling is its longevity. Gaming continues to expand across demographics and regions, making it a structural growth story rather than a short-term trend.</p>
<p>This fund was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>For growth investors wanting exposure closer to home, the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF could be worth considering.</p>
<p>This ASX ETF includes Australian shares involved in areas such as software, payments, and digital platforms. These businesses are often earlier in their growth journey compared to global tech giants, which can create opportunities for higher growth.</p>
<p>While the sector can experience volatility, particularly during interest rate changes or shifts in sentiment, it also has the potential to deliver strong returns over time as these companies scale their operations.</p>
<p>And with Aussie tech shares down materially over the past 12 months, now could be an opportune time to add exposure to this side of the market.</p>
<p>This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>One of the emerging stories this year has been the negative sentiment around <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/12/should-you-buy-low-on-these-asx-healthcare-stocks/">healthcare</a> and technology shares.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Global technology shares have suffered due to AI <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/09/how-to-position-your-portfolio-for-the-ai-impact-expert/">integration and replacement fears</a>. </p>



<p>Meanwhile, healthcare has also lagged, potentially due to investors shifting into sectors with clearer near-term growth catalysts.</p>



<p>However, this recent weakness may now mean these sectors trade at a valuation discount to the broader market.&nbsp;</p>



<p>If you are optimistic on the long-term growth of technology or healthcare shares, here are some ASX ETFs to consider.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-s-amp-p-asx-australian-technology-etf-asx-atec">Betashares S&amp;P ASX Australian Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>



<p>Technology shares are largely underrepresented in Australia compared to dominant sectors like <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/category/sector/bank-shares/">big banks</a> and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/top-mining-shares/">miners</a>. </p>



<p>Many Australian tech companies have endured heavy sell-offs due to fears that AI could cut into core products.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This has led to many <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/16/3-asx-stocks-brokers-say-could-double-in-the-next-year/">positive ratings from brokers</a>, suggesting these companies have now been <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/09/3-asx-200-shares-trading-well-below-brokers-targets/">oversold</a>. </p>



<p>The Betashares ATEC fund combines many of these Aussie tech companies into one ASX ETF.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It provides exposure to approximately 47 leading ASX-listed companies across a range of tech-related market segments, including information technology, consumer electronics, online retail, and medical technology.</p>



<p>It is down 20% year to date.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-global-x-morningstar-global-technology-etf-asx-tech">Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tech/">ASX: TECH</a>) </h2>



<p>For a more global exposure to technology shares, this fund offers exposure to companies based in the United States, Europe, and Asia.  </p>



<p>It targets companies positioned to benefit from increased technology adoption, including those whose principal business is offering Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and/or cloud and edge computing infrastructure and hardware. </p>



<p>The fund has fallen almost 17% year to date.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-betashares-global-healthcare-etf-currency-hedged-asx-drug">BetaShares Global Healthcare ETF &#8211; Currency Hedged (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-drug/">ASX: DRUG</a>)</h2>



<p>Global healthcare shares have also had a soft start to 2026.&nbsp;</p>



<p>For investors looking to target a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/defensive-shares/">defensive</a> sector, this ASX ETF provides exposure to the largest global healthcare companies (ex-Australia), hedged into Australian dollars. </p>



<p>At the time of writing, it comprises 60 underlying holdings, which could benefit in the long term due to ageing populations, rising living standards, and ongoing medical advancements.  </p>



<p>These are expected to support increasing ongoing demand for healthcare products and services.</p>



<p>The fund is down 2.5% since the start of the year.&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-ishares-global-healthcare-etf-asx-ixj">iShares Global Healthcare ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ixj/">ASX: IXJ</a>)</h2>



<p>This fund aims to provide investors with the performance of the S&amp;P Global 1200 Healthcare Sector Index.&nbsp;</p>



<p>It offers a more diversified option for global healthcare stocks.</p>



<p>This index is designed to measure the performance of global biotechnology, healthcare, medical equipment, and pharmaceutical companies and may include large, mid, or small-capitalisation stocks.</p>



<p>The fund has fallen more than 7% so far in 2026.  </p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) can be a simple way to build a diversified portfolio.</p>
<p>But with so many to choose from, it can be hard to decide which ones to buy.</p>
<p>To narrow things down, let's take a look at five ASX ETFs that could be worth considering for the next five years.</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ndq/">ASX: NDQ</a>)</h2>
<p>The first ASX ETF that could be a strong option is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.</p>
<p>This fund tracks the Nasdaq 100 index, which includes many of the world's leading technology companies. These businesses operate in areas such as cloud computing, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence</a>, digital advertising, and ecommerce.</p>
<p>The index has historically delivered strong returns due to the dominance of these global technology leaders and their ability to grow revenue at scale.</p>
<p>For investors looking to gain exposure to the companies driving much of the digital economy, this ETF could be the one.</p>
<h2><strong>iShares S&amp;P 500 ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ivv/">ASX: IVV</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the iShares S&amp;P 500 ETF.</p>
<p>This fund tracks the S&amp;P 500 index, providing exposure to 500 of the largest companies listed in the United States.</p>
<p>The index includes businesses across a wide range of industries such as healthcare, consumer goods, financial services, and technology. This diversification has helped the S&amp;P 500 deliver strong long-term performance over many decades.</p>
<p>Because of its broad exposure to the world's largest economy, many investors use this ETF as a core long-term holding.</p>
<h2><strong>Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-vgs/">ASX: VGS</a>)</h2>
<p>Investors looking for broader global exposure might want to consider the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.</p>
<p>This ASX ETF provides access to a large portfolio of developed market companies across North America, Europe, and Asia.</p>
<p>By investing in a wide range of industries and countries, the fund offers global diversification beyond the Australian market.</p>
<p>This can be particularly useful for investors who want exposure to global leaders across technology, healthcare, consumer brands, and industrial sectors.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>Another ASX ETF that could be worth a look is the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF.</p>
<p>This fund focuses on Australia's leading technology shares, including businesses involved in software, digital platforms, and online services.</p>
<p>Australia's technology sector has grown significantly over the past decade, with companies expanding globally and building scalable digital platforms. However, a recent selloff has dragged valuations down significantly, potentially making now an opportune time to invest.</p>
<p>This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hack/">ASX: HACK</a>)</h2>
<p>A final ASX ETF that could be worth considering is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF.</p>
<p>Cybersecurity has become an increasingly important industry as governments, corporations, and individuals rely more heavily on digital systems.</p>
<p>This ETF provides exposure to companies involved in protecting networks, cloud infrastructure, and sensitive data from cyber threats.</p>
<p>With cyberattacks becoming more frequent and sophisticated, demand for cybersecurity solutions is expected to remain strong for many years. This bodes well for the fund's holdings and provides them with a long growth runway.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>One of the emerging stories of 2026 has been the negative investor sentiment towards ASX technology shares.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The <strong>S&amp;P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index</strong> (ASX: XIJ) index fell another 4.7% <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/09/why-almost-every-asx-sector-is-falling-in-todays-market-sell-off/">yesterday</a>.</p>



<p>It is now down 18.59% year to date (YTD) and nearly 30% in the past 12 months. </p>



<p>Notable ASX technology shares that have been heavily sold off include:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>) down almost 26% YTD</li>



<li><strong>Life360 Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-360/">ASX: 360</a>) down 37% YTD</li>



<li><strong>Megaport Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-mp1/">ASX: MP1</a>) down nearly 36% YTD. <br></li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-is-the-ai-replacement-fear-real">Is the AI replacement fear real?</h2>



<p>Much of this Australian tech sell-off has been driven by a <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/04/why-im-betting-big-on-these-2-asx-shares-in-the-age-of-ai/">growing fear</a> that companies could have their core services replaced by <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/ai-stocks/ai-in-investing/">AI.</a>&nbsp;</p>



<p>Many Software as a Service (SAAS) companies earn a profit through subscriptions, paid services etc.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Should consumers be able to access similar, or even better services with more efficient AI tools, it would likely impact the earnings of these companies. </p>



<p>The challenge investors face in the short-term is identifying which companies are realistically going to be impacted, and which are going to adapt. </p>



<p>An important consideration is that some companies could be set to benefit exponentially from AI integration. </p>



<p>A new <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/03/09/how-to-position-your-portfolio-for-the-ai-impact-expert/">report from Vanguard</a> provided an in-depth analysis of how this could play out in the long-term.&nbsp;</p>



<p>So while some AI technology shares might be seriously challenged, others are at an all-time value due to misplaced fear.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-aussie-tech-vs-us-tech">Aussie tech vs US tech</h2>



<p>A key distinction that investors need to understand is the difference between ASX technology industry and global tech.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Largely, the ASX is underweight towards technology shares.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Instead, it is dominated by traditional sectors such as <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/top-mining-shares/">mining</a>, <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/category/sector/energy-shares/">energy</a>, and <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/financial-shares/">financials</a>. Together, these make up the bulk of its market capitalisation.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Additionally, the tech sector here in Australia is heavily skewed toward software-as-a-service (SaaS) companies.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Many of these firms are cloud software providers, focusing on recurring subscription-based business models rather than hardware or consumer electronics.&nbsp;</p>



<p>This contrasts sharply with the tech composition of the S&amp;P 500, which is dominated by large-cap, diversified technology giants such as <strong>Apple Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-aapl/">NASDAQ: AAPL</a>) and <strong>Nvidia Corp </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>).&nbsp;</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-how-to-target-these-companies">How to target these companies</h2>



<p>If you are bullish on an Australian tech revival, you can scoop up companies trading at relative lows like WiseTech, Life360 or Megaport. </p>



<p>Price targets via TradingView indicate these stocks are now oversold. 12 month price targets suggest upsides between 70% and 97%. </p>



<p>However another option is to invest in an ASX ETF like <strong>Betashares S&amp;P ASX Australian Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>). </p>



<p>It provides exposure to just under 50 ASX shares in the sector.&nbsp;</p>



<p>The fund is down 18% year to date, providing a relative value for those expecting Australian tech stocks to recover.&nbsp;</p>



<p>Alternatively, if investors are looking to avoid ASX technology stocks, and buy the dip on global tech shares, two funds to consider are:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Global X Morningstar Global Technology ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tech/">ASX: TECH</a>) &#8211; invests in companies positioned to benefit from the increased adoption of technology, including Software-as-a-Service (SaaS), Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), Infrastructure-as-a-Service (IaaS), and/or cloud and edge computing infrastructure and hardware.</li>



<li><strong>Global X FANG+ ETF</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-fang/">ASX: FANG</a>) &#8211; Includes just 10 companies at the leading edge of next-generation technology targeted for global tech/growth potential.</li>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Certain areas of the share market have been under significant pressure in recent months.</p>
<p>This has dragged a number of quality exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) deep into the red.</p>
<p>While this is disappointing, it may have created a buying opportunity for investors.</p>
<p>For example, the three ASX ETFs listed below have fallen by more than 25% from their highs and could be worth a closer look. Here's what you want to know about them:</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>The BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF has been hit hard, falling around 38% from its highs.</p>
<p>This ASX ETF holds leading Australian technology names such as <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>). These companies have faced heavy selling as investors reassessed valuations and the potential impact of artificial intelligence on software businesses.</p>
<p>However, these are not speculative startups. They are profitable, globally expanding companies with recurring revenue models and high switching costs.</p>
<p>Australia's tech sector is still relatively young compared to the US. If even a handful of these businesses continue scaling internationally over the next decade, this fund's current weakness may look like a compelling long-term entry opportunity.</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hack/">ASX: HACK</a>)</h2>
<p>The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF has fallen approximately 26% from its high amid broader tech <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a>.</p>
<p>The ETF includes global cybersecurity leaders such as <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-crwd/">NASDAQ: CRWD</a>), <strong>Palo Alto Networks</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-panw/">NASDAQ: PANW</a>), and <strong>Fortinet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-ftnt/">NASDAQ: FTNT</a>). While these stocks have been volatile, the underlying demand for cybersecurity has not disappeared.</p>
<p>In fact, cyber threats continue to rise in frequency and sophistication. Governments and corporations cannot afford to ignore digital security. In many cases, cybersecurity budgets are considered essential rather than discretionary. This bodes well for the companies in this fund over the next decade and beyond.</p>
<h2><strong>VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-espo/">ASX: ESPO</a>)</h2>
<p>The VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF is down about 30% from its highs.</p>
<p>This ASX ETF provides exposure to companies involved in video games, hardware, and esports. Its holdings include <strong>Nintendo</strong>, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-amd/">NASDAQ: AMD</a>), <strong>Take-Two</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-ttwo/">NASDAQ: TTWO</a>), and <strong>Electronic Arts</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-ea/">NASDAQ: EA</a>).</p>
<p>Over the past decade, gaming has evolved into a global entertainment industry with recurring revenue models, digital downloads, and in-game purchases. As connectivity improves and new technologies such as cloud gaming develop, the industry's addressable market continues to expand.</p>
<p>In light of this, while a 30% pullback may be painful in the short term, it has lowered the entry point for investors who believe in the long-term growth of interactive entertainment. This fund was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Tech has not been comfortable to own lately. Artificial intelligence (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">AI</a>) disruption fears and a sudden market rotation have made growth investors question their convictions, but volatility and opportunity often arrive together.</p>
<p>But if you believe that this selloff is a temporary hiccup, then it could be worth considering the ASX exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) in this article before they rebound.</p>
<p>Here's what you need to know about them:</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-ndq/">ASX: NDQ</a>)</h2>
<p>The Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF is often described as a simple way to invest in US tech giants. That is true, but it misses something important.</p>
<p>The Nasdaq 100 is not just a collection of software companies. It is a portfolio of businesses that sit at the core of digital infrastructure. Think <strong>Nvidia</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>), <strong>Microsoft</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-msft/">NASDAQ: MSFT</a>), and <strong>Alphabet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-googl/">NASDAQ: GOOGL</a>).</p>
<p>These companies are not fringe innovators. They are building the operating systems of the modern economy. Nvidia designs the chips powering AI data centres, Microsoft's cloud platform underpins enterprise IT, and Alphabet dominates digital advertising and search.</p>
<p>If artificial intelligence, automation, and cloud adoption continue expanding, the companies inside the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF could benefit as central players.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>Instead of Silicon Valley, this ASX ETF focuses on Australian technology leaders such as <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>).</p>
<p>These businesses are building globally competitive software platforms from Australia. They serve logistics companies, accountants, governments, and enterprises around the world.</p>
<p>The BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF provides exposure to that ambition. It reflects the idea that innovation does not have to come exclusively from the United States. Australia has its own cohort of scalable, recurring-revenue businesses expanding offshore.</p>
<p>In periods of tech selloffs, local growth names can be hit hard. That can create long-term entry points for investors who believe in their global potential. This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-hack/">ASX: HACK</a>)</h2>
<p>The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF offers exposure to a very specific problem that is not going away.</p>
<p>Cyber threats are increasing in frequency and sophistication. As digital infrastructure expands, so does the attack surface.</p>
<p>This ASX ETF holds shares such as <strong>CrowdStrike</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-crwd/">NASDAQ: CRWD</a>), <strong>Palo Alto Networks</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-panw/">NASDAQ: PANW</a>), and <strong>Fortinet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-ftnt/">NASDAQ: FTNT</a>). These firms are effectively digital security providers for governments and corporations.</p>
<p>Unlike many areas of tech spending, cybersecurity is rarely optional. Even when budgets tighten, protecting networks remains a priority. This bodes well for the long-term growth outlooks of the fund's holdings.</p>

                                                                                            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>If you have $1,000 ready to invest next month, you do not need to overthink it.</p>
<p>At that level, the goal is not precision timing. It is gaining exposure to powerful long-term themes while spreading risk sensibly. Exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) make that easy, giving you access to entire sectors and strategies with a single trade.</p>
<p>Here are three ASX ETFs to consider in March.</p>
<h2><strong>BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-atec/">ASX: ATEC</a>)</h2>
<p>The BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF offers a focused way to back Australia's homegrown tech names.</p>
<p>Rather than buying one or two ASX tech shares, this ETF spreads exposure across a range of local technology businesses involved in areas such as accounting software, fintech, and enterprise platforms.</p>
<p>Holdings include companies such as <strong>WiseTech Global Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>), <strong>Xero Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>), and <strong>TechnologyOne Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>).</p>
<p>Australian tech shares have experienced significant <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/volatility/">volatility</a> recently amid AI disruption concerns, but many of these businesses continue to grow revenue and expand internationally.</p>
<p>This could make it a great time to gain exposure to this side of the market. And with the BetaShares S&amp;P/ASX Australian Technology ETF, investors can do so without having to pick a single winner.</p>
<h2><strong>Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-cflo/">ASX: CFLO</a>)</h2>
<p>If you prefer something steadier, the Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF could be worth considering in March.</p>
<p>Instead of targeting hype-driven growth, this ASX ETF screens for companies generating strong free cash flow. That cash can be reinvested into the business, returned to shareholders, or used to strengthen the balance sheet.</p>
<p>The portfolio includes global heavyweights such as <strong>Alphabet</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-googl/">NASDAQ: GOOGL</a>), <strong>Visa</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-v/">NYSE: V</a>), and <strong>ASML Holding</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-asml/">NASDAQ: ASML</a>). These companies convert a meaningful portion of revenue into real, usable cash.</p>
<p>Over long periods, businesses that consistently produce cash tend to be more resilient when economic conditions tighten. It was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares.</p>
<h2><strong>VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-espo/">ASX: ESPO</a>)</h2>
<p>For investors looking for something more thematic, the VanEck Video Gaming and Esports ETF provides investors with easy access to the global gaming ecosystem.</p>
<p>This is not just about console makers. The fund holds companies across hardware, software, and chip design, including <strong>Nintendo</strong>, <strong>Advanced Micro Devices</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-amd/">NASDAQ: AMD</a>), and <strong>Electronic Arts</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-ea/">NASDAQ: EA</a>).</p>
<p>Gaming has evolved from a niche hobby into one of the world's largest entertainment industries. Digital downloads, online services, and in-game purchases have created recurring revenue streams for leading developers and publishers.</p>
<p>Over time, as younger generations grow up in digital environments, gaming and esports could become even more embedded in mainstream culture. This bodes well for the fund's holdings.</p>
<p>It was recently recommended by analysts at VanEck.</p>

<p>An emerging story this year has been the heavy sell-off of ASX technology shares.</p>



<p>Global risk-off sentiment and a renewed reassessment of the technology sector have weighed heavily on growth-oriented names.</p>



<p>A major driver has been investor concerns about <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/16/2-asx-tech-stocks-smashed-to-multi-year-lows/">artificial intelligence (AI)</a>.</p>



<p>Rather than being a clear catalyst for growth, fears that rapid AI advances could disrupt traditional software business models have prompted revaluation and selling in software and <a href="https://www.fool.com/investing/stock-market/market-sectors/information-technology/saas-stocks/">SaaS stocks</a>, with markets questioning future demand and pricing power.&nbsp;</p>



<p>In fact <strong>the S&amp;P/ASX 200 Information Technology Index</strong> (ASX: XIJ) is <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/2026/02/17/why-are-asx-200-tech-shares-down-43-in-six-months/">down 43%</a> over the past six months.</p>



<p>Big companies that have been largely sold off in 2026 include:&nbsp;</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>TechnologyOne Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-tne/">ASX: TNE</a>) is down 22% YTD&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>Xero Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-xro/">ASX: XRO</a>) is down 30%</li>



<li><strong>Life360 Inc</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-360/">ASX: 360</a>) has fallen 28%</li>



<li><strong>SiteMinder Ltd</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-sdr/">ASX: SDR</a>) has dropped by 38.5%.&nbsp;</li>



<li><strong>WiseTech Global Ltd </strong>(<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-wtc/">ASX: WTC</a>) is 31% lower YTD.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-what-are-experts-saying">What are experts saying?</h2>



<p>It's very reasonable that investors don't want to tie themselves to a sinking ship.&nbsp;</p>



<p>But is the technology industry really going down?</p>



<p><a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/what-is-a-bear-market/">Bear markets</a> don't last forever, and many experts are reinforcing this panic<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/what-is-a-bear-market/"> isn't being driven by sound logic</a>.</p>



<p>Research from J.P. Morgan Private Bank describes this as "broken logic" and says, "the market is selling indiscriminately."</p>
