Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are becoming very popular for people to take a passive approach to invest in.
Some of the biggest ETFs have very diverse portfolios such as Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS) and iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV).
However, some investors may want their ETFs to be more growth-orientated but still be diverse. Perhaps investors want the ETFs to focus on a specific idea.
Here are three ideas for ETF-focused investors:
BetaShares Global Agriculture ETF (ASX: FOOD)
This ETF aims to give investors exposure to some of the biggest agricultural-related companies in the world.
Food is an integral part of our needs to survive, so in some ways it could be classified as defensive. The global population is growing and that means that there's a growing demand for food.
Some of the biggest holdings in this ETF are top quality shares like Deere & Co, Kubota Corp, Archer Daniels Midland, Tyson Foods and WH Group.
BETANASDAQ ETF UNITS (ASX: NDQ)
This ETF focuses on some of the biggest technology companies in the US. Technology seems to be one industry that is rapidly expanding due to the changing nature of the world with automation and (currently) basic artificial intelligence developing quickly.
It's hard to look beyond the technology sector when you consider which areas will grow over the coming years.
The NASDAQ ETF's top holdings include Apple, Amazon, Microsoft, Facebook and Alphabet (Google).
Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)
This ETF focuses on the world's largest cybersecurity companies. As you may have noticed there is an increasing amount of hacks and other cyber-related crime recently. Companies are willing to pay good money to keep their intellectual property and customer information protected.
The more that technology is integral to our daily lives the more important keeping it protected will be.
This ETF has Cisco Systems, Palo Alto Networks, VMware and Symantec Corp among its top holdings.
Foolish takeaway
I'd be happy to own all three of these ETFs in my portfolio because I expect all of them to grow faster than the market over the long-term.
