<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Having $50,000 to invest is a good problem to have.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it can also make the decision feel harder.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With a larger sum, investors may not want to put everything into one narrow idea. A better approach could be to build around a mix of broad global exposure, proven technology leaders, and a focused long-term growth theme.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With that in mind, here are three ASX exchange traded funds (<a href="https://www.fool.com.au/definitions/exchange-traded-fund/">ETFs</a>) that could be worth considering.</p>



<h2 id="h-betashares-global-shares-etf-asx-bgbl" class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Betashares Global Shares ETF (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/asx-bgbl/">ASX: BGBL</a>)</strong></h2>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The first ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Global Shares ETF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This fund gives investors exposure to a large basket of global shares across developed markets.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That means it is not tied to the fortunes of the Australian economy. Instead, investors can gain exposure to global companies across <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/technology/">technology</a>, financials, healthcare, industrials, consumer goods, and communications.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Major holdings include <strong>Nvidia</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-nvda/">NASDAQ: NVDA</a>) and <strong>Apple</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-aapl/">NASDAQ: AAPL</a>).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think this ASX ETF could work well as a foundation holding because it offers significant diversification in one trade. It was recently recommended by the team at Betashares.</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 class="wp-block-paragraph">Another ASX ETF to consider is the Betashares Nasdaq 100 ETF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This fund is more growth-focused than the BGBL ETF. It gives investors exposure to 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the Nasdaq exchange.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">These companies are involved in some of the biggest shifts in the global economy, including <a href="https://www.fool.com.au/investing-education/ai-shares-asx/">artificial intelligence</a>, cloud computing, digital advertising, software, ecommerce, streaming, chips, and consumer technology.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Holdings include <strong>Microsoft</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-msft/">NASDAQ: MSFT</a>) and <strong>Amazon</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nasdaq-amzn/">NASDAQ: AMZN</a>).</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This ASX ETF can be volatile because it has a heavy tilt toward technology and growth shares. But for investors with a long-term view, it provides exposure to companies that are shaping how people work, shop, communicate, and use technology.</p>



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



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">A final ASX ETF that could be worth a closer look is the VanEck Global Semiconductor ETF.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is the most targeted option of the three. The fund gives investors exposure to companies involved in semiconductors and semiconductor equipment.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That makes it a way to invest in the chips behind artificial intelligence, cloud computing, data centres, electric vehicles, smartphones, automation, and advanced manufacturing.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Holdings include <strong>Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing</strong> (<a class="tickerized-link" href="https://www.fool.com.au/tickers/nyse-tsm/">NYSE: TSM</a>) and Nvidia.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This is unlikely to be a smooth ride. Semiconductor shares can be cyclical and sentiment can move quickly.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But the long-term theme is powerful. The modern economy needs more computing power, not less, and semiconductors sit at the centre of that demand.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">This fund was recently recommended by the team at VanEck.</p>
