There are a large number of exchange-traded funds (ETFs) out there for investors to choose from.

But which ones could be top picks for investors in March? Let's take a look at three that could be worth considering for a balanced investment portfolio. They are as follows:

BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF (ASX: CRYP)

The cryptocurrency sector has been making waves again, and political developments in the United States could further boost its momentum.

One of Donald Trump's key election promises was to make the US "the crypto capital of the planet," and this pledge helped drive Bitcoin to record highs in late 2024. And with Trump now in the Oval Office, it wouldn't be surprising if further records were broken in the future.

For investors seeking indirect exposure to this booming sector, the BetaShares Crypto Innovators ETF could be a top option. Rather than investing directly in digital assets, this fund provides exposure to companies that are deeply involved in the crypto ecosystem, such as cryptocurrency miners, trading platforms, and infrastructure developers.

This makes it an accessible way to participate in the long-term growth of digital assets while mitigating some of the volatility associated with holding cryptocurrencies directly.

BetaShares S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF (ASX: QUS)

Over the past few years, the US stock market has been dominated by technology giants such as Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL), Microsoft (NASDAQ: MSFT), and Nvidia (NASDAQ: NVDA). However, with interest rates expected to decline, there could be a shift towards value-oriented sectors like financials, utilities, and industrials, which tend to benefit from lower borrowing costs and increased consumer spending.

The BetaShares S&P 500 Equal Weight ETF offers investors a unique way to gain exposure to the US stock market while reducing concentration risk. Unlike traditional S&P 500 index funds that are heavily skewed towards the largest tech stocks, this fund equally weights all 500 companies in the index. As of 31 December 2024, its tech exposure stood at 13.8%, compared to 32% for a standard S&P 500 tracker.

By spreading its allocation evenly, this fund provides a more balanced exposure across sectors, ensuring investors can capitalise on a broad-based market rally rather than relying on the performance of a handful of mega-cap stocks.

This fund was recently named as one to buy by analysts at Betashares.

BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF (ASX: QLTY)

Finally, investors that are looking for a diversified, high-quality global portfolio might want to consider the BetaShares Global Quality Leaders ETF.

This ASX ETF focuses on companies with strong balance sheets, high profitability, and competitive advantages, making it ideal for long-term investors who prioritise stability and resilience.

The fund, which was also tipped as one to buy by Betashares, includes leading global businesses across multiple industries and regions, offering investors exposure to proven performers that have historically demonstrated strong earnings growth and financial discipline.
