If you want to make some long term investments but aren't sure which shares to buy, then exchange traded funds (ETFs) could be the answer.
That's because ETFs provide investors with an easy way to invest in a large number of shares through a single investment. This makes it very easy to construct a diverse portfolio with little effort.
With that in mind, listed below are two super ETFs that could be top buy and hold options for a balanced portfolio. Here's what you need to know about them:
BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF (ASX: ASIA)
The BetaShares Asia Technology Tigers ETF could be a super ETF for investors to look at in 2023. Especially now that China is finally reopening after the pandemic.
That's because this ETF gives investors access to ~50 of the largest technology and ecommerce companies that have their main area of business in Asia (excluding Japan).
This means you'll be buying a piece of tech giants such as Alibaba, Baidu, JD.com, Meituan Dianping, Pinduoduo, Samsung, and Tencent Holdings. These companies look well-placed for growth over the long term, which could make the ETF a great buy and hold option.
BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
Another ETF that could be a super buy and hold option for investors in 2023 is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. Especially after pulling back materially in 2022 amid weakness in the tech sector after interest rates were increased around the world.
The BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF could be a great option as it provides investors with exposure to the 100 largest non-financial companies listed on the NASDAQ stock market.
This includes many of the largest companies in the world such as Alphabet, Amazon, Apple, Meta, Microsoft, Nvidia and Tesla.
Given their positive long term outlooks, they could make the ETF a great long term addition to a portfolio.
