Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become an increasingly popular way for Aussie investors to gain diversified exposure to various markets and sectors.
Whether you are looking for long term capital appreciation or a steady stream of income, there are ASX ETFs tailored to suit different investment strategies.
For growth-focused investors, ETFs that track high-growth sectors such as technology and cybersecurity can offer significant upside potential. Meanwhile, income-focused investors can benefit from ETFs that prioritise high-yield dividend shares, providing regular passive income.
Here are three ASX ETFs that could be great options for growth and income investors today.
For growth investors who are bullish on the future of the Asian economy, the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be a great option.
This ASX ETF provides exposure to leading technology companies in the Asian region, excluding Japan. Many of these companies are the Asian equivalents of the West's biggest tech giants and are well-positioned to capitalise on the region's expanding middle class and digitally savvy population.
Some of the ETF's key holdings include e-commerce leader Alibaba, search engine giant Baidu, semiconductor powerhouse Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company, and social media titan Tencent Holdings.
Another ASX ETF that could be a top option for growth investors is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF.
This ETF provides exposure to the fast-growing global cybersecurity industry, which is becoming increasingly crucial as cyber threats escalate. Companies that specialise in cybersecurity solutions are poised to benefit from rising corporate and government spending on data protection.
This includes the likes of industry leaders such as Broadcom Inc, Cisco, Cloudflare, Fortinet, Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Thales SA.
For income-focused investors, the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF could be an excellent choice.
This ASX ETF is designed to provide exposure to around 70 ASX-listed dividend shares that are forecast to deliver above-average yields. Importantly, it comes with diversification across different sectors, rather than concentrating solely on banks and mining stocks.
Some of the ETF's major holdings include BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS), Transurban Group (ASX: TCL), and Wesfarmers Ltd (ASX: WES).
Currently, this popular fund is trading with a dividend yield of 5.15%, making it a solid option for those seeking a reliable income stream from their investments.
