Exchange traded funds (ETFs) continue to grow in popularity. And it isn't hard to see why.
By investing in an ETF you can gain access to a large and diverse number of different shares that you 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:
iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (ASX: IXI)
The first ETF for investors to look at next week is the iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF.
This ETF has been designed to give investors exposure to companies that produce essential products, including food, tobacco, and household items. As demand for these types of products is generally consistent whatever is happening in the economy, this ETF could prove a top option in the current uncertain environment.
Among its 100+ holdings are the likes of Coca-Cola, Costco, Diageo, Nestle, Philip Morris, Unilever, Walmart, and Australia's own, Coles Group Ltd (ASX: COL) and Woolworths Group Ltd (ASX: WOW).
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
Another ETF for investors to look at when the market reopens next week is the highly popular Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.
If diversification is your aim, then it is hard to look beyond the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. That's because this ETF provides investors with access to a massive 1,500+ high quality companies from around the globe.
The companies you'll be owning a slice of with this ETF include the likes of Apple, Exxon Mobil, Johnson & Johnson, Mastercard, Meta Platforms, Nvidia, Pfizer, and Walt Disney.
