Do you have $2,000 to invest and room in your portfolio for some exchange-traded funds (ETFs)?

If you do, then it could be worth considering the five funds named in this article. Here's what you need to know about them:

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The first ASX ETF that could be a great option for a $2,000 investment is the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It provides investors with access to the rapidly growing cybersecurity industry. Betashares highlights that "an estimate of the total addressable market by McKinsey suggests that the cybersecurity market is $1.5-$2.0 trillion globally, and at best only 10% penetrated." As a result, the industry has "a very long runway for growth." This should be good news for the companies held by the ETF, which includes all the leading players in the industry.

Betashares Global Uranium ETF (ASX: URNM)

A second ASX ETF to consider for a $2,000 investment is the Betashares Global Uranium ETF. As you might have guessed from its name, it gives investors exposure to the leading companies in the global uranium industry. This includes local uranium miners Boss Energy Ltd (ASX: BOE) and Paladin Energy Ltd (ASX: PDN). With some analysts tipping a long term bull market for uranium, these companies look well-positioned for the future.

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

A third ASX ETF that could be a good destination for a $2,000 investment is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. It allows investors to buy a slice of 500 of the largest listed companies on Wall Street. This means that you will be investing in a diverse group of companies from a range of different industries and sectors. This includes many of the world's largest companies such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Exxon Mobil Corp (NYSE: XOM), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA).

Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF (ASX: VGS)

Another ASX ETF to consider buying with your $2,000 is the Vanguard MSCI Index International Shares ETF. If you thought 500 shares was a lot, then check out this one. It gives investors access to approximately 1,500 of the world's largest listed companies (excluding Australia). This is such a large number of shares that it can almost instantly diversify an investment portfolio.

Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF (ASX: VHY)

Finally, if you are more interested in income, then the Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF could be an ASX ETF to buy. It leverages broker research to identify in the region of 70 ASX shares that are forecast to have bigger dividend yields compared to the market average. Among its holdings are giants such as BHP Group Ltd (ASX: BHP), Commonwealth Bank of Australia (ASX: CBA), and Telstra Group Ltd (ASX: TLS). The Vanguard Australian Shares High Yield ETF currently trades with a dividend yield of 4.8%.
