BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)

If you're interested in gaining exposure to the Asian tech sector, then the BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be worth considering. This ETF tracks the performance of the largest technology companies in Asia (excluding Japan). This means you'll be buying a slice of tigers such as Alibaba, JD.com, Pinduoduo, Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor, and Tencent Holdings. And with the ETF falling almost 25% in 2022, now could be an opportune time to make a long term investment.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

Investors that are fans of legendary investor Warren Buffett, may want to consider the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. When Buffett invests, he looks for fairly valued companies with sustainable competitive advantages or moats. VanEck has taken that into account and pulled together around 50 attractively priced companies with moats. These include high quality companies such as Alphabet (Google), Boeing, Campbell Soup, Kellogg Co, Microsoft, Philip Morris, and Walt Disney.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

If you're looking for a way to diversify your portfolio, then the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF could be the one to do this with. This popular ETF provides investors with easy access to somewhere in the region of 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies. This provides significant diversity and also allows investors to take part in the long term growth potential of international economies. Among the companies that you'll be owning a slice of are giants such as Amazon, Apple, Nestle, Nvidia, Procter & Gamble, Tesla, and Visa.
