Exchange-traded funds (ETFs) have become an increasingly popular way to invest in a diversified portfolio of stocks without the need to pick individual companies.

Whether you're looking for exposure to high-growth sectors or defensive industries, ASX ETFs can offer an efficient way to build wealth over time.

If you are lucky enough to have $10,000 to invest, here are three funds that could be excellent options right now.

Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF (ASX: HACK)

The rise of cyber threats and data breaches has made cybersecurity one of the most important industries in the modern economy. The Betashares Global Cybersecurity ETF provides investors with exposure to leading global cybersecurity companies that are working to protect individuals, businesses, and governments from cyber threats.

This fund tracks the performance of an index of cybersecurity leaders such as Palo Alto Networks, CrowdStrike, and Fortinet.

With cybercrime expected to cost the world trillions of dollars annually in the coming years, demand for cybersecurity solutions is likely to remain high. As a result, this ASX ETF could be a great long-term growth play.

Betashares Cloud Computing ETF (ASX: CLDD)

Cloud computing has transformed the way businesses operate, enabling them to store, process, and manage data more efficiently. The Betashares Cloud Computing ETF provides exposure to companies that are leading the cloud revolution, including major players such as Amazon, Microsoft, and Alphabet.

With businesses across the globe continuing to shift to cloud-based solutions, the demand for cloud services is expected to grow significantly in the years ahead. Companies in this ASX ETF are at the forefront of this trend, making it an attractive investment for those looking to capitalise on technological advancements.

Given the strong tailwinds supporting the cloud computing industry, this fund offers investors a compelling way to gain exposure to this high-growth sector. Betashares recently tipped it as a buy.

iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF (ASX: IXI)

While growth stocks can deliver impressive returns, it's always a good idea to have some defensive exposure in a portfolio. The iShares Global Consumer Staples ETF provides access to some of the world's biggest consumer staples companies, including Nestlé, Procter & Gamble, and Coca-Cola.

Consumer staples businesses tend to perform well regardless of economic conditions because they sell essential products that people buy no matter what. This ETF could be a great addition to a portfolio, offering stability and resilience even during market downturns.

Foolish takeaway

With a combination of high-growth potential in cybersecurity and cloud computing, alongside the stability of consumer staples, these three ETFs could be excellent options for investors looking to deploy $10,000 into ASX ETFs.
