If your goal is to grow your wealth over the next five years, you don't necessarily need to pick individual winners.
In fact, some of the most powerful long-term opportunities on the ASX come from exchange traded funds (ETFs) that give you instant exposure to world-leading stocks and megatrends.
With technology, digital assets, and artificial intelligence reshaping almost every corner of the global economy, these are three fantastic ASX ETFs that investors could consider buying and holding until at least 2030.
BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF offers direct access to America's tech giants. These are the companies that have dominated global markets for more than a decade. Its portfolio includes household names such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Amazon (NASDAQ: AMZN), and Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META).
Meta Platforms has re-established itself as one of the world's most powerful digital advertising businesses. With billions of users across Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp, and massive investment into AI-driven recommendation systems, Meta continues to deliver exceptional revenue and profit growth. As its long-term metaverse ambitions evolve, the company remains a meaningful driver of innovation inside the Nasdaq 100.
Overall, the BetaShares Nasdaq 100 ETF remains a strong long-term pick for investors who believe the world's most influential technology stocks will continue to expand throughout the decade.
BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
For those comfortable with higher volatility, the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF could be worth considering. It provides exposure to the booming digital-asset ecosystem, but without the need to hold cryptocurrencies directly.
The BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF invests in global stocks at the heart of blockchain and digital finance, including MicroStrategy (NASDAQ: MSTR), Riot Platforms (NASDAQ: RIOT), and Coinbase Global (NASDAQ: COIN).
Coinbase Global is one of the world's largest digital-asset exchanges and is uniquely positioned to benefit from increasing institutional adoption of crypto, tokenisation trends, and the rise of blockchain-based financial products. While the sector can swing sharply, Coinbase has shown improving profitability and remains one of the few scaled, regulated players in the industry.
For investors willing to take a long-term view, this ASX ETF offers an easy way to participate in one of the most transformational (and volatile) megatrends of the 2020s.
BetaShares Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF (ASX: RBTZ)
Finally, artificial intelligence and automation are set to reshape global productivity, and the BetaShares Global Robotics & Artificial Intelligence ETF gives investors access to leading stocks driving this shift.
Top holdings include ABB Ltd (SWX: ABBN), Fanuc Corporation (TYO: 6954), and Intuitive Surgical (NASDAQ: ISRG). These are companies with deep expertise in robotics, industrial automation, and medical innovation.
For Intuitive Surgical, it is the global leader in robotic-assisted surgery. Its da Vinci robotic systems are used in hospitals worldwide, and every machine installed creates years of recurring revenue from instruments, services, and upgrades. As healthcare systems modernise and demand for minimally invasive surgery rises, Intuitive is positioned to benefit from a long runway of adoption.
This fund was recently recommended by analysts at Betashares as one to consider buying.
