Exchange traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity. And it isn't hard to see why.
ETFs give investors easy access to a large and diverse number of different shares that they wouldn't ordinarily have access to. This can be a great way to invest diversely on a limited budget or bolster an already sizeable portfolio.
With that in mind, listed below are two ETFs that could be worth looking at next week:
BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)
The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF. It could be a good option for investors that are interested in investing in the cryptocurrency industry but aren't too keen on directly owning coins.
BetaShares notes that the ETF is designed to capture all sides of the crypto ecosystem. This is achieved by providing exposure to pure-play crypto companies, companies with balance sheets that hold at least 75% in crypto-assets, and diversified companies with crypto-focused business lines.
Among its holdings you'll find Coinbase, PayPal, Riot Blockchain, Robinhood, Silvergate, and Afterpay's new owner, Block. Given the nature of the industry, an investment in this ETF is not likely to be one for the fainthearted.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another ETF for investors to look at next week is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.
It is one of the most popular ETFs on the Australian share market and it isn't surprising that this is the case. This is because the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF provides investors with exposure to over 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies through just a single investment.
The types of companies you'll be owning a slice of with this ETF include giants such as Apple, Johnson & Johnson, Nestle, Procter & Gamble, and Visa.
