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

But with so many to choose from, which ETFs could be buys right now?

Two that could be top options are listed below. Here's what you need to know about them:

Vanguard All-World ex-U.S. Shares Index ETF (ASX: VEU)

The first ETF for investors to look at is the Vanguard All-World ex-U.S. Shares Index ETF.

The VEU ETF brings the world to your portfolio by given you access to approximately 3,500 companies listed in developed and emerging markets across the globe (excluding the United States).

Vanguard highlights that this can expand a portfolio to include many sectors not well represented in Australia. It also complements a portfolio with overweight exposure to local investments. That's because the largest country allocations are Japan, China, United Kingdom, France, and Canada, with Australia accounting for only 5% of the exposure.

Among its holdings you'll find a diverse group of shares including HSBC Holdings, Samsung, LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton, Sony, Taiwan Semiconductor, Tencent, Toyota, Astra Zeneca, and Roche Holdings.

Vanguard U.S. Total Market Shares Index ETF (ASX: VTS)

Another ETF for investors to consider is the Vanguard Australian US Total Market Shares Index ETF.

This could be a good option if you would prefer to gain exposure to the United States rather than the globe. That's because this low-cost and diversified ETF provides investors with access to some of the largest companies listed in the United States.

Vanguard highlights that it allows investors to participate in the long-term growth potential of US listed companies. The fund manager sees it as a top option for buy and hold investors seeking long-term capital growth, some income, and international diversification.

Among the companies included in the ETF are the likes of Amazon, Apple, Boeing, CostCo, JP Morgan, Starbucks, and Walmart.
