Owning an S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO)-focused exchange traded fund (ETF) and an S&P 500 ETF is a great starting point for a long-term investment portfolio.
But if I were looking to build on those investments, there are several other ASX ETFs I would consider adding.
Here are three that I think could be excellent options.
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
The first ETF I would consider is the Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF, which provides exposure to leading companies in the cybersecurity industry.
I think this is an attractive area to invest in because businesses and governments are becoming increasingly reliant on technology, making protection against cyberattacks more important than ever.
And with cybercriminals becoming more sophisticated, thanks partly to artificial intelligence (AI), I expect spending on cybersecurity to continue growing strongly over the coming decade.
The fund holds companies such as Palo Alto Networks (NASDAQ: PANW) and CrowdStrike (NASDAQ: CRWD), which provide security solutions to organisations around the world.
Although these companies can be volatile, I believe the long-term demand for their services could support substantial earnings growth. This could make the ETF a top addition to a diversified portfolio.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another ASX ETF I would consider adding is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.
While an S&P 500 ETF provides exposure to America's largest companies, this fund goes further by investing in approximately 1,300 companies across developed markets.
This includes businesses from Europe, Japan, Canada and other major economies.
Among its holdings are Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT) and Dutch semiconductor equipment giant ASML Holding (NASDAQ: ASML), which plays an important role in manufacturing advanced computer chips.
Admittedly, the fund still has considerable exposure to US shares, so there will be some overlap with an existing S&P 500 investment.
However, I like that it provides access to other major economies and businesses that investors would otherwise miss. And with an annual management fee of just 0.18%, it offers this international exposure at a relatively low cost.
VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
A final ASX ETF I would look at is the VanEck Morningstar Wide Moat ETF.
This fund takes an interesting approach to investing in US shares. Rather than simply buying the largest companies, it targets businesses with sustainable competitive advantages and attractive valuations.
Its holdings include Danaher (NYSE: DHR), which supplies equipment and technology to the life sciences industry, and financial services giant Charles Schwab (NYSE: SCHW).
I like the valuation discipline behind this ETF. Even an excellent company can be a disappointing investment if you pay too much for its shares.
By targeting businesses with durable competitive positions that appear undervalued, I believe this ASX ETF could complement a traditional S&P 500 investment and potentially deliver attractive long-term returns.
