A recent report showed the continued rise in popularity of ASX ETFs.
It's clear that Australians are more consistently turning to ASX ETFs for diversification and growth prospects.
This increased investment is pushing funds higher this week.
Here are five funds hitting record highs.
Betashares Capital – Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
This fund pushed to a new all-time high yesterday, flirting with $21 per share during Thursday's trading session.
Yesterday's gain now takes its 12 month return to over 83%.
The fund aims to track the performance of an index (before fees and expenses) comprising the 50 largest technology and online retail stocks in Asia (ex-Japan).
Many of these companies are leading Asia's (ex-Japan) technological revolution.
Global X AI Infrastructure ETF (ASX: AINF)
This ASX ETF from Global X also hit an all-time high during Thursday.
The artificial intelligence movement has accelerated as businesses and industries have accepted AI demand is real, not theoretical.
The benefits are spreading beyond software into hardware, infrastructure and materials.
This ASX ETF has captured these tailwinds in a thematic fund, and is now up over 65% in the last 12 months.
It offers targeted exposure to the physical and operational backbone enabling AI's global expansion.
While most AI investments focus on chips or platforms, AINF ETF looks underneath the surface at the energy, data, and materials infrastructure powering this transformation.
Vanguard S&P 500 US Shares Index ETF (ASX: V500)
This new fund from Vanguard has enjoyed a steady climb since its initial listing in March 2026.
It rose again yesterday, pushing to a new all-time high.
This fund aims to track the performance of the S&P 500 Index, giving investors exposure to 500 of the largest publicly listed companies in the United States.
It is up more than 6% in its short history.

This ESG focussed ETF hit yearly highs yesterday.
It comprises a portfolio of up to 100 leading global companies that derive at least 50% of their revenues from products and services that help to address climate change and other environmental problems through the reduction or avoidance of CO2 emissions.
This covers clean energy providers, along with leading companies tackling green transport, waste management, sustainable product development, and improved energy efficiency and storage.
It is now up over 18% in the last 12 months.
VanEck Global Clean Energy ETF (ASX: CLNE)
Another ESG focussed fund, this ASX ETF has rocketed 70% higher in the last 12 months.
It is now also trading at a 52-week high.
