If you're just starting your investment journey and aren't sure which shares to buy, then you could consider exchange-traded funds (ETFs).
ETFs are an easy way to invest because they allow you to buy large groups of shares through a single investment. This means that you're not putting all your eggs in one basket.
But which ETFs could be good options for beginners? Three to consider are listed below, and what you need to know about them:

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)
The first ASX ETF that could be a top option for beginners is the hugely popular BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF.
There's a good reason that this ETF is popular with investors. That's because it provides investors with access to 100 of the largest non-financial shares on the famous NASDAQ index on Wall Street. These are many of the largest and highest-quality companies in the world such as Apple, Microsoft, and Nvidia.
VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)
Another ASX ETF for beginners to consider buying is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. Especially if they are a fan of Warren Buffett.
That's because this ETF focuses on the type of qualities that Buffett looks for when he is searching for investments. These qualities include companies with sustainable competitive advantages (moats) and fair valuations. The ETF changes constituents fairly regularly but typically includes around 50 holdings. At present, this includes Kellogg Co and Walt Disney.
Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)
A final ASX ETF for beginner investors to look at is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF.
This popular ETF allows investors to diversify their portfolios quickly and gain exposure to global economic growth. That's because it gives investors access to a massive ~1,500 of the world's largest listed companies through a single investment. Among its largest holdings are giants including Apple, Nestle, Tesla, and Visa.
