There are a lot of exchange traded funds (ETFs) funds out there for investors to choose from.

Three top ETFs that you may want to look deeper into are listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF (ASX: ETHI)

The first ETF for ASX investors to get better acquainted with is the Betashares Global Sustainability Leaders ETF. This ETF aims to track the performance of an index that includes a portfolio of large global stocks identified as "Climate Leaders." These companies have also passed screens to exclude ones with direct or significant exposure to fossil fuels or those that are engaged in activities deemed inconsistent with responsible investment considerations. Among the shares included in the fund are the likes of Apple, Nvidia, Toyota, and Visa.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another exchange traded fund which could be worth looking at is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. As you might have guessed from its name, this exchange traded fund gives investors exposure to the 100 largest businesses on Wall Street's technology-focused NASDAQ index. This includes tech behemoths such as Amazon, Apple, Alphabet, Facebook/Meta, Microsoft, and Netflix.

iShares Global Healthcare ETF (ASX: IXJ)

Another ETF to look at is the iShares Global Healthcare ETF. It offers investors easy exposure to the healthcare, biotechnology, pharmaceutical, and medical device sectors. This means you'll be buying many of the world's biggest and best healthcare companies such as CSL Ltd (ASX: CSL), Johnson & Johnson, Novartis, and Pfizer. Due to ageing populations globally and chronic disease burden increasing, demand for healthcare services is expected to increase markedly over the next couple of decades. This could bode well for the shares included in the fund.
