The good news for growth investors is that there are a lot of quality options out there to choose from on the Australian share market and globally.

But if you're not a fan of stock picking, then don't worry. That's because exchange-traded funds (ETFs) are here to make your life easy.

There are plenty available on the Australian share market that give investors access to groups of the best growth stocks that the world has to offer.

For example, the four ASX ETFs listed below could be quality options for growth investors in May. Here's what you need to know about them:
