If you have room for some new exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in your portfolio, then keep reading!
Listed below are five ASX ETFs that are highly rated right now and could be great options for investors looking to invest $1,000 into the market. Here's what you need to know about them:
The first ASX ETF that could be worth considering for a $1,000 investment is the iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF. This fund gives investors access to many of the world's largest consumer staples companies. These companies are generally regarded as low risk options because they tend to perform well whatever is happening in the global economy. Among the fund's holdings are global giants Coca-Cola, Nestle, and Unilever.
A second ASX ETF that could be a good option for investors is the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF. It was recommended by Betashares' chief economist and it isn't hard to see why. It gives investors east access to approximately 150 of the highest quality companies in the world. But what makes a company high quality? Betashares notes that the companies included in the fund rank highly on four key metrics: return on equity, debt-to-capital, cash flow generation, and earnings stability.
Another ASX ETF that Betashares is recommending is the Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF. The fund manager highlights that companies that generate high levels of free cash flow have a tendency of outperforming the market over the medium to long term. This could make this ETF a great long term option for investors. Among the companies that generate high levels of free cash flow are tech giant Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and payments behemoth Visa (NYSE: V).
A fourth ASX ETF that could be a good destination for your $1,000 investment is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. It is focused on investing in high-quality companies with fair valuations and sustainable competitive advantages. The Oracle of Omaha, Warren Buffett, looks for these characteristics in his investments. And given that he has beaten the market consistently for multiple decades, following his investment style may not be a bad idea.
Finally, the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF could be a top option for investors. It allows investors to buy a slice of approximately 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies from major developed countries. The fund manager, Vanguard, points out that this gives investors exposure to a diverse group of stocks and global economic growth.
