If you'd like to make some investments but aren't sure which shares to buy, you could look at exchange traded funds (ETFs) instead.

But which ETFs could be buys? Three that are very popular are listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF (ASX: FUEL)

The first ETF to look at is the BetaShares Global Energy Companies ETF. This ETF allows investors to gain exposure to the global energy market at a time when oil prices are at high levels due to supply constraints.

BetaShares notes that the ETF includes energy producers that are larger, more geographically diversified, and more vertically integrated than Australian-listed energy companies.

Among its holdings are well-known energy giants including BP, Chevron, ExxonMobil, and Royal Dutch Shell.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ETF to look at is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. This ETF provides investors with access to 100 of the largest non-financial companies listed on the famous exchange.

BetaShares thinks this ETF is a good option for Australian investors. It notes that the ETF's strong focus on technology provides investors with diversified exposure to a high-growth potential sector that is under-represented in the Australian sharemarket.

Among the 100 shares included in the ETF are giants such as Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft, Netflix, Nvidia, Tesla, and Google parent, Alphabet.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ETF for investors to look at is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. It could be a good option for investors that want to replicate Warren Buffett's investment style.

That's because this ETF aims to invest in a group of fairly valued companies that have sustainable competitive advantages. The latter is something that Mr Buffett calls moats.

At present there are in the region of ~50 shares included in the ETF. This includes companies from a range of sectors such as Adobe, Alphabet, Amazon, Boeing, Campbell Soup, Constellation Brands, Microsoft, and Walt Disney.
