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

If you're looking at long term options, then you may want to look at the three listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The first ETF for investors to consider as a long term investment is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. Given the high profile cyber incidents that have happened this year, it's no wonder that worldwide spending on cybersecurity is predicted to increase materially in the future. This leaves the companies included in this fund, which are working to reduce the impact of cybercrime globally, well-positioned for growth. Among the ETF's holdings are Accenture, Cisco, and Cloudflare, Crowdstrike, Okta, and Palo Alto Networks.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

Another ETF that could be a top buy and hold option is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. This high quality fund is one of the most popular ETFs on the Australian share market and it isn't hard to see why. Among its holdings are iconic companies such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Netflix, and Tesla. And with many of these companies trading materially lower this year amid weakness in the tech sector, this could have created a major buying opportunity.

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

A final ETF that could be a great long term option is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. This is another very popular ETF and once again it is for good reason. The Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF provides investors with exposure to over 1,000 of the world's largest listed companies. This means that through a single investment, you'll be buying a slice of companies such as Apple, Johnson & Johnson, JP Morgan, Nestle, and Visa.
