If you are planning to make some investments in 2025, then the exchange-traded funds (ETFs) in this article could be worth considering.

Let's take a closer look at them and see what sort of shares they allow you to invest in. They are as follows:

Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF (ASX: CFLO)

The first ASX ETF that could be a good option in 2025 is the Betashares Global Cash Flow Kings ETF. Betashares notes that companies that generate high levels of free cash flow have a history of outperforming the market over the medium to long term. So loading up on these types of companies is never a bad idea. This ETF focuses on global companies with strong free cash flow and includes giants such as Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) and Visa (NYSE: V). Betashares recommended the ETF as one to buy. It highlights that it could serve as a core exposure to global equities.

BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF (ASX: NDQ)

A second top ASX ETF to consider buying in 2025 is the BetaShares NASDAQ 100 ETF. This fund is home to the best of the best. It provides investors with access to the 100 largest (non-financial) companies on the famous Nasdaq index. These are global giants such as Alphabet, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Meta Platforms (NASDAQ: META), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), and Tesla (NASDAQ: TSLA).

BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

Another top option could be the BetaShares Global Cybersecurity ETF. It gives investors access to the leading companies in the global cybersecurity industry. Betashares thinks this could be a great place to be, given the industry's strong long term growth potential. It 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 with a very long runway for growth."

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

A fourth ASX ETF that could be a top option is the iShares S&P 500 ETF. It gives investors the opportunity to buy a slice of 500 of the largest listed companies on Wall Street with a single click of the button. This means that you will be buying companies from a range of different industries and sectors. This includes tech giants such as Apple and Microsoft, as well as banks, miners, healthcare leaders, and consumer stocks.

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

A final ASX ETF that could be a good place to invest in 2025 is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF. It focuses on investing in high-quality companies with fair valuations and sustainable competitive advantages (or wide moats). These are what Warren Buffett looks for when making his own investments. So, if you want to follow in his footsteps (never a bad idea) then this could be an easy way to do it.
