With the market trading with sight of a record high, it can be hard to decide which shares to buy.

So, if you're not sure what to buy right now, you could consider exchange traded funds (ETFs) instead.

They provide investors with an easy way to buy a large and diverse group of shares through a single investment.

But which ASX ETFs could be strong picks for investors in 2025? Three that could be worth considering are listed below:

iShares S&P 500 ETF (ASX: IVV)

If you're just looking to invest in a large number of shares, then the iShares S&P 500 ETF could be the way to do it.

As you might have guessed from its name, this popular ASX ETF gives investors easy access to the 500 largest companies on Wall Street. This means that you will be gaining exposure to world-class companies such as Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG), Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Exxon Mobil (NYSE: XOM), Nike (NYSE: NKE), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA), Starbucks (NASDAQ: SBUX), and Walmart (NYSE: WMT).

iShares notes that investors can "use [the ETF] to diversify internationally and seek long-term growth opportunities in your portfolio."

VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF (ASX: MOAT)

Another strong ASX ETF that could be a great option for investors is the VanEck Vectors Morningstar Wide Moat ETF.

This ETF gives investors access to a group of fairly valued companies that have sustainable competitive advantages (or wide moats). Historically, companies with these qualities have outperformed the market. So, having access to a large group of them is never a bad idea.

There are approximately 50 shares included in the fund that boast these qualities at present. This includes the likes of Adobe (NASDAQ: ADBE), Etsy (NASDAQ: ETSY), Nike, Starbucks, and Walt Disney (NYSE: DIS).

Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)

Finally, the Betashares Global Quality Leaders ETF.

When investing your hard-earned money into the share market, it's never a bad idea to focus on buying the highest quality companies you can find.

The good news is that Betashares has done the hard work for you. The fund manager, which recently recommended this ETF, has pulled together around 150 of the highest quality companies from across the globe into a single ETF.

Among its holdings are the likes of Visa (NYSE: V), Costco (NASDAQ: COST), and Accenture (NYSE: ACN).
