Three ASX ETFs offer beginners different ways to invest for the long term
Three exchange-traded funds listed on the Australian Securities Exchange are presented as options for people starting to invest, including in 2027.
The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF gives investors exposure to more than 1,000 companies in developed markets outside Australia.
The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF invests in companies that help protect systems and data from cyberattacks.
Because it focuses on one industry, it may be more volatile than a broad-market fund.
The Betashares Australian Quality ETF selects Australian businesses based on factors such as profitability, financial strength and stable earnings.
Together, the funds show different approaches to investing: spreading investments across overseas companies, focusing on a specialised industry, or choosing local companies for their business quality.
