You might be re-evaluating your financial future in the current bear market with many ASX shares being hammered lower. The S&P/ASX 200 Index (ASX: XJO) showed some positive signs last week, but there's still a long way to go.
Given the ups and downs in ASX shares at the moment, here's how I'd invest $10,000 for my financial future.
How I'd invest $10,000 in ASX shares today
1. AGL Energy Limited (ASX: AGL)
The AGL Energy share price is one I've been keeping an eye on in 2020. At the time of writing, AGL shares are down 15.11% since the start of the year.
But I like the Aussie energy generator and retailer's prospects. While the oil price war has hit ASX energy shares hard, AGL could be one to buy for the future.
The group is one of the largest "gentailers" in Australia. I think its current earnings won't be too badly affected by the coronavirus shutdown.
Yes, businesses will reduce their consumption with so many closing offices or shutting down altogether. But residential power consumption should see an uptick in all of this.
I also like AGL Energy shares for the future, given the potential to take a big market share in any renewables boom.
2. Nextdc Ltd (ASX: NXT)
NEXTDC is arguably the hottest ASX tech share right now. The group owns and operates data centres around Australia and business is booming.
With a $672 million capital raising done and dusted, NEXTDC could be one ASX share to buy for the future.
Earnings are strong and NEXTDC is even expanding operations. Many businesses are looking for extra data storage and security with the number of remote working arrangements in place right now.
Even once the coronavirus pandemic has passed, I would expect to see heavy investment in this area. NEXTDC is a market leader and could be one ASX share to set up your financial future.
3. CSL Limited (ASX: CSL)
It's hard to bet against any ASX share that has climbed 40,000% higher since its IPO. That's exactly what the CSL share price has done since listing in 1994 at a stock-split-adjusted price of $0.76.
The Aussie pharmaceutical giant's shares have climbed higher despite the bear market. I think a non-cyclical industry and arguably more work in the middle of the pandemic could put CSL shares in the buy zone.
If you can pick up CSL shares for around $300 per share, I believe that could help set up your financial future in the current bear market.
